Presentations and Conference Activities

Pradeep Talwani to give Plenary Talk at 53rd Annual meeting of the AEG in Charleston, SC September 20, 2010

Dr. Dave Barbeau with his colleague Ross MacPhee at the American Museum of Natural History (NYC) conducted a NSF sponsored
workshop at Stony Brook University on Long Island. It was entitled: Austral Portals: Tectonics, Paleogeography and Biogeography. The workshop is bringing together about 15 geologists and paleontologists to rectify the apparent incongruities with the tectonic and paleontologic histories of Antarctica, South America and India. The workshop was funded by the NSF Office of Polar Programs.
