Research Group: MPB - Marine PalaeoBiogeography

CIBIO-Açores, a research unit based at the University of the Azores and integrated in the Research Network on Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology (InBIO, Associated Laboratory), organizes the third edition of its Spring Seminar, with the purpose of disseminating its research activities within the academic community, but also with the funding agencies and other partners at regional level. The research group presents research in the areas of systematics, evolution, biogeography and palaeontology, ecology, limnology and coastal biology. One of the research units functions is thereby fulfilled, namely the dissemination of the projects and of the results obtained, by providing a summary of their contribution for the advancement of knowledge. It is also an opportunity for the gathering of the elements of the unit, usually occupied with their specific tasks, and therefore, a step towards a greater scientific and personal integration of the body of researchers.

“The 18th annual edition of the International Workshop – Palaeontology in Atlantic Islands (18th PAI) will take place in Santa Maria, between July 7 and 16, organized by the Marine Palaeontology & Biogeography Lab of CIBIO-Açores (Universidade dos Açores). https://www.researchgate.net/lab/MPB-Marine-Palaeontology-and-Biogeography-lab-Sergio-P-Avila As in previous editions, the 18th PAI is dedicated to the paleontological heritage of Santa Maria Island and will bring together internationally recognized specialists in the most diverse areas of geology, biology and palaeontology. It will include visits to the fossiliferous outcrops of Santa Maria, and the usual evening sessions of lectures at the Dalberto Pombo Environmental Interpretation Center (open to the public, without the need for prior registration).”
