The conference will consist of 2 days (Sept 30-Oct 1) of interesting talks and posters and a pre- and post-conference fieldtrip. We are proposing two thematic sessions focussed on “Canadian Paleontology, more than 150 years of exciting research“ and “New frontiers in applied paleontology”. In addition to these sessions, abstracts on any topic related to paleontology are welcome.
Tentatively, on Saturday evening, the Billings Medal will be presented to this year’s recipient . The conference includes Alberta Palaeontological Society-sponsored public lectures by Donald Henderson (Royal Tyrrell Museum) and Jean-Bernard Caron (Royal Ontario Museum) on Sunday afternoon. More details will follow.
