Our community holds strong nannoplankton-based research on the Paleogene, so please feel called to attend! The deadline for abstracts is April 30. See more details, and link to the conference page, below. Best wishes, Jorijntje Henderiks Begin forwarded message: From: GABRIEL J BOWEN > Subject: [cbep2017-invitees] CBEP 2017 abstract reminder - April 30 Date: 10 Apr 2017 17:11:22 GMT+2 To: "cbep2017-invitees at lists.utah.edu" > All – Just a quick reminder that abstracts for this year’s Climatic and Biotic Events of the Paleogene Conference are due in less than 3 weeks! We look forward to your contributions to the meeting and to the opportunity to talk paleo science with you in the mountains of Utah. Please see below for details. http://cbep2017.utah.edu/abstracts.html Call for Abstracts We now invite abstract submissions to the 2017 conference on Climatic and Biotic Events of the Paleogene to be held September 4-7, 2017 at Snowbird Resort, Utah, USA. The conference will highlight new perspectives and results on Paleogene Earth system research through poster presentations and plenary oral sessions. The format will feature ample formal and informal time for poster viewing and discussions, and we anticipate that up to 2/3 of all presentations will be given in poster format. Oral sessions will be organized around a series of themes that the scientific committee has selected to promote presentation and discussion of work at the cutting edge of Paleogene Earth science research (complete list below). One focus of the 2017 conference will be on the contribution of Paleogene research to understanding modern and future global change, and each day of the meeting will feature a themed session focusing on the concept of Planetary Boundaries. This concept has emerged from work on modern sustainability research and emphasizes the idea that quantifiable boundaries in the rates or conditions of Earth system processes exist within which we can expect humanity to operate safely. Beyond these boundaries Earth system processes may become inherently unstable or unpredictable. Research on Paleogene and other deep-time Earth systems has great potential to contribute to our understanding of Planetary Boundaries, and we strongly welcome contributions that explore traditional (or non-traditional) concepts in Paleogene research within the concept of the Planetary Boundaries themes. Abstracts and extended abstracts should be submitted via the conference website no later than April 30, 2017. Notification of acceptance and a call for registration will follow shortly after that date. Plenary oral session themes: Planetary Boundaries: Biogeochemical Flows Planetary Boundaries: Biological Diversity & Biotic Change Planetary Boundaries: Earth Surface Change Planetary Boundaries: Ocean Acidification Advances in Paleo-Proxies: Mechanisms, Interpretation, and Uncertainty Biogeochemical Consequences of Ecological Changes During Climate Events & Transitions Cenozoic pCO2 & Climate: Reconciling Proxies & Models Environmental Variability & Sensitivity in the Pre-Neogene World Tempo & Interaction of Paleogene Earth System Change Across Timescales Unravelling Tectonic and Climatic Controls on Sedimentary & Geochemical Records Author Guidelines Text abstracts are limited to 300 words total length, including references (if any), and should fully but briefly describe the context for the work or idea to be presented, results or anticipated results, and their interpretation/significance. Contributors are also invited to submit an extended abstract (EA) describing their work. These should be prepared using the EA template (http://cbep2017.utah.edu/CBEP2017AbstractTemplate.doc) and should be no more than 2 pages in length. EAs should be fully referenced and may include figures (embedded within the word document as 300-dpi RGB jpeg image) if desired. EAs will be reviewed independently by the meeting's scientific committee and a citable digital volume containing all accepted EAs will be published through the Open Journal System shortly after the meeting. Submission Instructions 1) Prepare your abstract and EA (if desired) following the guidelines above. 2) Visit the abstract and registration website, https://conference.tools.lib.utah.edu/index.php/cbep/2017/, and create a new User Account. You will use this account to submit and manage your abstracts as well as for conference registration. 3) Complete the Abstract Submission process. a. Click “Submit Abstract” in the top menu. b. Select desired session and confirm your agreement with our editorial policies. c. Provide author information (names/emails/affiliations are requested, other fields can be left blank) and copy/past your abstract title and text into the form. d. Upload EA file as a supplementary file, if desired, then add EA title and keywords in the metadata form. For file type select Other and enter “Extended Abstract”. The remaining fields can be left blank. 4) When ready, click to finish your submission. You will receive an email notification of the successful submission. 5) You will be able to return and find/edit your submission under the “User Home” menu item until the abstract deadline.

The theme for this year’s event is “Life in a Changing Ocean”. We strongly encourage submissions that address the vulnerability and resilience of foraminifera and coccolithophores to environmental change, past and present, as well as the interaction between changing marine environments and evolutionary processes and patterns over long timescales. Keynote Speakers: Heather Stoll, ETH Zurich Willem Renema, Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden Paul Pearson, Cardiff University As always we will place a high value on the contributions made by early career researchers. This year we include: • Two extended afternoon poster sessions with refreshments (3.30pm – 6pm). • Dedicated elevator pitch to the whole conference for all early career poster presentation (PhD / post-doc) – 1 slide, 2 minutes. • Oral presentation sessions with a mix of career stages. • Prizes for best PhD and best post-doc oral and poster presentations. The program will encompass oral presentations and extended posters sessions, an icebreaker reception in the Lapworth Museum of Geology, a conference dinner, as well as an optional field excursion and thematic workshops on Monday 19th June. Also note: UK IODP Sponsored workshop, 19th June: Evolution and Future Sensitivity of the Indo-Pacific Region; Unlocking archives of climate, tectonic and biotic change from International Ocean Discovery Program Expeditions Keynotes: Pallavi Anand, Ian Hall, Jeroen Groenveld, Dick Kroon. any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
