International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project 596 Climate change and biodiversity patterns in the Mid-Paleozoic (Early Devonian to Early Carboniferous) IGCP 596 Closing Meeting Udine, Italy; 10-12 October 2016 1 st Circular Venue IGCP 596 had the goal to increase the record of biodiversity and to clarify links between specific biodiversity patterns and climate during the Mid-Paleozoic. Because 2016 is the last year of the project on extended term, we would like to bring together one more time all those colleagues, who were strongly involved and hard working on the achievement of the general project goals in the past five years. The very final meeting will take place in Udine (Italy) between 10-12 th October 2016.

Basically we will request some money only for the joint dinner which can be paid on site at the registration desk. Presentation Only oral presentation will be accepted in the meeting. Please prepare your contribution on USB stick (PPT 2003). Because the meeting will conclude the project and its progress in the past five years, no talks including common topics, like the introduction to a new outcrop, or distribution patterns of a fossil group across an extinction event, etc, will be accepted. Rather we would like you to prepare presentations on sister or satellite projects of IGCP 596. Talks should include a summary on the scientific research, results, and some information on the funding source. Abstract Volume The volume shall include project reports about sister or satellite projects of which published output contributed to IGCP 596 or budget was used for attendance of related meetings. Following points shall be included within one contribution: Original project title, project leader(s), funding agency, duration, introduction on the scientific background of the project, research 2
results, output (published papers, conferences attended, public outreach), and references. If you intend to prepare illustrations, please stick to following formats: page-width 175 x 245 mm, column-width 86 x 245 mm (length of figure accords to the maximum length of one printed page - this does not need to be followed strictly, but the figure-length should be reasonable); lettering in figures: Font: Arial, 10, Bold (A, B, C, rather than 1, 2, 3 ), Figures should be submitted as tiff, LZW, 24 bit, 600 dpi. Only high-resolution figures will be accepted! Please do not send PDF files or figures that are incorporated in the contribution win.word-text!
