The 15th ISF School will run a short, advanced version of the ISF School which will take place in Kraków, Poland. 

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The " Advanced course on foraminiferal biostratigraphy” is designed as an advanced and specific training on foraminiferal biostratigraphy and to provide an overview of the taxonomy, and geological history of benthic and planktonic foraminifera. This intensive course is intended for students and academic/industrial staff interested in biostratigraphy using foraminifera.

Course Description
The 15th Edition of the International School on Foraminifera – “Advanced course on foraminiferal biostratigraphy” is designed as an advanced and specific training on foraminiferal biostratigraphy and to provide an overview of the taxonomy, and geological history of benthic and planktonic foraminifera. This intensive course is intended for students and academic/industrial staff interested in biostratigraphy using foraminifera. The aim is to provide an in-depth knowledge on the study of foraminiferal evolution, distribution and biostratigraphy. We review the current classification schemes of the foraminifera and review their usefulness for practical biostratigraphical and paleoecological applications. We will use case studies from petroleum basins and ODP sites to investigate the geological history of the group with practical sessions. The entire course consists of approximately 40 hours of lectures and 40 hours of practical work. . To register please send an email to isf@tmsoc.org .

Requirements
The course is primarily intended for young researchers at the PhD or MSc stages of their careers and industrial staff working with Foraminifera, Micropaleontology, Paleoceanography, Paleoecology. Applicants will primarily be selected on the basis of the relevance of the course for their current work. Because the course is oversubscribed, places on the course are reserved in the order of payments received. Please register early in order to reserve your place..

Code of Conduct
The course recognises and adheres to the Code of Conduct of The Micropalaeontological Society.
