Proceedings of the 9th International Palynological Congress

Edited by:
David K. Goodman and Robert T. Clarke

The Ninth International Palynological Congress was held in Houston, Texas, June 23-28, 1996 and was attended by approximately 415 palynologists from around the world. Participants were able to select from 421 oral papers and 141 posters and attend the topics of their choice during the five days of technical sessions. This volume contains 65 articles, which represent slightly more than 10% of the papers presented. The program was divided into 30 symposia and topical sessions, and this proceedings volume certainly reflects the diversity, if perhaps not the sheer volume, of subject matter presented and discussed during the Congress.

The field of palynology spans an incredibly wide and diverse variety of technical disciplines and scientific applications, from melissopalynology and forensic palynology in the modern world to the deliniation of paleoclimates and the reconstruction of fossil floras in early geologic time. We trust that the variety of papers contained in this volume provides an accurate measure of the impact that palynology has made in the past, as well as an indication of its expanding role in the future.

The 65 articles in this proceedings volume are divided into five sections: the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Sections each have ten articles and are 130 and 100 pages in length, respectively, the Tertiary Section has nine articles covering 85 pages, the section on Quaternary/Pleistocene palynology contains 13 articles and 130 pages, and the final 167 pages contain 23 articles dealing with Recent palynology.

The format is 8 1/2 x 11, hard bound, 618 pages, with numerous photographs and text-figures.
