24-28 SEPTEMBER 2017 16TH INTERNATIONAL NANNOPLANKTON ASSOCIATION MEETING ATHENS, GREECE

INA16 will be a perfectly enjoyable experience and a unique opportunity for all nanno-folks to exchange experiences, learn the state-of-the art and develop professional contacts around the globe.

Its main objectives are as follows: • Nannofossil biostratigraphy - challenges, innovations and developments • Coccolithophore taxonomy and size variations • Coccolithophore phylogeny, species-concepts and molecular genetics • Calcareous nannofossils - indicators of palaeoenvironmental, oceanographic and climatic changes • Coccolithophore ecology - insights from seasonality and biogeography • Understanding coccolithophore biocalcification • Jurassic nannofossil biostratigraphy and paleoecology • Ecosystem dynamics and applications • Palaeoceanography of the Indian Ocean and the West Pacific – results from recent IODP cruises INA 16 - Athens, Greece 5

We are looking forward to welcoming more than 120 participants (approx. 80 oral and 65 poster presentations). INA16 will accommodate a nice dispersion of participants all over the globe!

See you all in Athens!
