Sporopollenin seminars are the informal, intermittent seminars hosted by the Centre for Palynology and Palaeoecology. Topics covered include many aspects of environmental change and human-environment interactions, but with a focus on palaeoenvironmental data.
Seminars are usually held from 1-2pm Fridays in Rm S119 (Monash Clayton, South Wing, Menzies Building). Volunteers welcome.
The seminar series takes its name from sporopollenin, the polymer comprising the outer wall of pollen grains.
The series is organised by John Tibby, John.Tibby@arts.monash.edu.au .Phone: (03) 9905-8171.
