<P class=Normal-P0><SPAN class=Normal-C3>The 6th Regional Symposium of the
IFAA will be held in Milano, from 1 to 5 July 2009. </SPAN></P>
<P class=Normal-P0><SPAN class=Normal-C3>Following a consolidate tradition of
our symposia, the scientific topics cover any aspects of calcareous algae and
microbialites, including their present-<WBR>day distribution and abundance.
</SPAN></P>
<P class=Normal-P0><SPAN class=Normal-C3></SPAN> </P>
<P class=Normal-P0><SPAN class=Normal-C3>In addition, we are inviting to present
your contribution to a cross-<WBR>cut topic with strong implications in biology,
palaeontology, sedimentology, geology and climatology: the quantification (in
space or time, at any scale) of the carbonate production of calcareous
algae.</SPAN></P>
<P class=Normal-P0><SPAN class=Normal-C3></SPAN> </P>
<P class=Normal-P0><SPAN class=Normal-C3>Although calcareous algae commonly
occur both in the present-<WBR>day shelf environments at all latitudes and
in the fossil record, we still need a tentative quantification of their
abundance, in space and time. Calcareous algae are sensitive to the expected
consequences of global change, therefore our contribution will be particularly
important to a wide scientific community, not only to algae
specialists.</SPAN></P>
<P class=Normal-P0><SPAN class=Normal-C3>Therefore, especially welcome are
contributions aimed at the identification/delimitation of marine habitats
dominated by calcareous algae, also by geophysical survey, and all
approaches to the quantification of living/fossil calcareous algae
in different environmental/paleoenvironmental settings. </SPAN></P>
<P class=Normal-P0><SPAN class=Normal-C4></SPAN> </P>
<P class=Normal-P1><SPAN class=Normal-C3>The Symposium is jointly organized by
the University of Milano-<WBR>Bicocca, Department of Geological Sciences and
Geotechnologies, and by the University of Genova, Dip.Te.Ris. Geologists and
paleontologists of the University of Genova have been studying
coralline-<WBR>rich outcrops of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin since the end of the
XIX Century (G. Rovereto, M. Airoldi, S. Conti, V.I. Mastrorilli), producing the
scientific descriptions of dozens of new species that are housed in the Genova
Dip.Te.Ris. </SPAN></P>
<P class=Normal-P1><SPAN class=Normal-C3>All scientific sessions will be held at
the University of Milano-<WBR>Bicocca, Department of Geological Sciences and
Geotechnologies, Piazza della Scienza 4, Milano. </SPAN></P>
