- Pardee Symposium P1. Breakthroughs in Paleontology: The Paleontological Society Centennial Symposium This session celebrates the Paleontological Society's centennial by highlighting the signal advances made in paleontology over the past 100 years. Presentations will fall into three major themes: (1) unveiling the record of life's history; (2) paradigm-changing breakthroughs; and (3) paleontology's contributions to society and the world. Cosponsored by Cushman Foundation; Paleontological Society; GSA Geobiology and Geomicrobiology; GSA Geoscience Education; GSA History of Geology; Paleontologic Research Institute - Organized by
Jere H. Lipps, J. William Schopf
- Topical Session T9 - Crises on the Reefs? Anticipating the Effects of Global Warming on Reefs by Reference to the Fossil Record—Is the Past Really the Key to the Present in the New Field of Conservation Paleobiology? Today coral reefs are in crisis. This session addresses the unique perspectives that both paleobiology and geology provide for understanding reef ecosystem change and for the development of methods and policies to deal with it. Cosponsored by Cushman Foundation; Paleontological Society; Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM); Paleontologic Research Institute; Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies - Organized by: Claudia C. Johnson, Jere Lipps, George Stanley, Dennis Hubbard
