Reconstruction of marine paleoenvironments : selection of papers presented at the meeting in Utrecht, March 21-25, 1983

Abstract

The international meeting on "Reconstruction of marine paleoenvironments; principles and methods" was held in Utrecht, the Netherlands, from March 21-25, 1983. It was organized by J. E. Meulenkamp with the assistance of other staff members of the Department of Stratigraphy and Micropaleontology of the State University of Utrecht. The meeting was sponsored by the Regional Committee on Mediterranean Neogene Stratigraphy of the I.U.G.S., by the International Nannoplankton Association and by the I.U.G.S. Working Group on the Paleogene/Neogene boundary. The larger part of the programme consisted of talks by invited speakers from various disciplines of the earth sciences. Most of the invited speakers agreed to publish their contribution; the present U.M.B. volume includes 75% of the papers read during the plenary morning sessions. The editing task was carried out with the assistance of G. J. van der Zwaan, W. J. Zachariasse, A. J. T. Romein and C. W. Drooger. Most of the figures were drawn or re-drawn by A. van Doorn, J. T. van Hinte and P. Hoonhout. Proof reading was carried out in Utrecht by a large group of department members.
