Conferences and Workshops

Arctic and Alpine Floras are particularly affected by climate change. In the last decade much has been learnt about the history and evolution of these floras, and how they might respond to current global warming. This conference will bring together palaeobotanists, ecologists and evolutionary biologists, to provide a synthesis of what is currently known on these topics and to identify promising areas for future research. In addition to talks given by 30 invited speakers, there will be poster sessions to increase the participation of delegates.

The symposium is sponsored by the Botanical Society of Scotland, and cosponsored by the British Ecological Society, Botanical Society of the British Isles, Genetics Society, and Scottish Natural Heritage
