International Conference:

The Colors of Cretaceous and Paleogene Oceans

A tribute to Isabella Premoli Silva

16-19 May 2010 - Verbania, Lake Maggiore, Italy

The conference "The Colors of Cretaceous and Paleogene Oceans" is a tribute to the research career of Isabella Premoli Silva, from the very beginning characterized by an amazing mixture of rigor, curiosity and passion resulting in variegated and outstanding international projects, collaborations and publications on Cretaceous and Paleogene oceans.
The meeting is intended to gather colleagues and friends that have had the opportunity to work with Isabella and share her scientific interests. Contributions are expected from senior scientists as well as from students. We anticipate to gather up to 80 scientists to participate in a mixture of oral and poster presentations during morning and afternoon sessions with lots of time for discussions in an informal setting. The evenings will be dedicated to science during Italian dinner followed by music and dances.
