Mini conference Caribbean Geology, Siguenza, Spain, June 2-4, 2008

Dear Friends,

There is a new geological society in Spain. The Asociación Congresos Geológicos Sigüenza aims to organize international conferences using the successful format of the Caribbean conference held in Sigüenza in 2006.

If anyone has an idea for an international conference and is prepared to attract speakers/attendees, we will supply our experience in organizing the conference.

We will be repeating the week-long, international conference on the Caribbean theme in 2009.

Meantime, in June 2, 3, 4, 2008, we will hold a "miniconference" on the geology of the area between North and South America, with focus on the geology of the Caribbean Plate. This is primarily aimed at bringing together in an informal and constructive environment people who work on this area in Spain. However, everyone is welcome.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in this meeting, to take place June 2, 3 and perhaps 4, in Sigüenza, at the Hospedería Porta Coehli and the Casa del Doncel. We hope this venue will be economical. We especially hope that students will attend.

For those who intend to present a talk or poster, thank you. We will distribute the meeting proceedings as soon after the meeting as practical. For this reason, we will ask (insist) that you bring a ready-to-publish presentation to the meeting. Our objective is to encourage discussion, collaboration and (rapid) dissemination of ideas.

In order to help us organize this event, please answer the following questions and send them back to caribbean_conference@yahoo.es. Thank you.
