THE INTERNATIONAL PALEOLIMNOLOGY ASSOCIATIONThe major aim of IPA is promotion and advancement of the science of paleolimnology and its applications. The International Paleolimnology Symposium constitutes an important activity of the association, as it provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of research in every area of paleolimnology. There have been ten previous meetings, the first one (1967) in Hungary and the last one (2003) in Duluth, Minnesota (USA). Seven of these meetings have been held in Europe, one in Australia, one in Canada and one in the USA. The 11th Symposium will be held in Mexico and thus constitutes an effort to promote paleolimnology over an even broader geographic area. The Journal of Paleolimnology (JOPL) has been published since 1988 and is another means by which the association promotes paleolimnology (http://post.queensu.ca/~smolj/jopl/index.html). The Paleolimnology Forum (Paleolim), a listserve that has been in operation since 1997 (http://plaza.ufl.edu/swhitmor/paleolim.htm), assures free exchange of information among members of the paleolimnology community. The International Paleolimnology Association (IPA)
was constituted officially during the last symposium in Duluth, USA.
There are approximately 200 members and we strongly encourage new
registrations. Membership is free and gives you the right to vote
in the IPA business sessions during the symposium. Current IPA Board Members: Rick Battarbee, UK (Chair) |
