13th International Conference on Modern and Fossil Dinoflagellates
Preliminary Program
Vision
We invite researchers of all disciplines working on dinoflagellates and/or their cysts (as well as their potential pre ancestors) to share their knowledge.
We especially will stimulate contributions and discussions about:
- Ecology and paleo-ecology of modern and ancient dinoflagellates
- Toxicity and (toxic) bloom dynamics in modern and past environments
- “From acritarch to dino” and the evolution of dinoflagellates
- Feeding and life strategies in modern and ancient dinoflagellates
- new avenue: isotopic and molecular signatures of cells and cyst walls
- dinoflagellates and their cysts in a changing environment - their resilience/sensitivety to current anthropogenic induced environmental change such as pollution, climate change and potential future geoengeneering
