April 10 - 13, 2006 Palaeogeography and Palaeobiogeography: Biodiversity in Space and Time

This meeting aims to broaden scientific understanding of the evolution of Earth's biodiversity at a range of spatial and temporal scales by facilitating collaboration among palaeogeographers, palaeobiogeographers, and modern day geographers and biogeographers. The meeting will consist of a day of talks from invited speakers, four workshops, and poster sessions.

The meeting will take place at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge. More information and on-line registration can be found at http://www.tethys.org.uk/biogeography/

The conference organizers can be contacted directly by email. We look forward to a productive and fun meeting in Cambridge.
