Description
The Marine Arctic Diatoms Working Group, MARDI, invites you to join our upcoming workshop on statistical relations between sedimentary diatom assemblages and environmental parameters.
The aim of the workshop is to study patterns in a dataset of more than 1000 surface samples across the Arctic marine realm and link the diatom assemblages to modern observations of climate and environment. The outcome will lead to improved understanding of diatom ecology and their use as proxies in paleoceanography, and the development of transfer functions for quantitative reconstructions.
This is the 3rd workshop of the MARDI working group. It follows the workshop on diatom taxonomy.

Registration and financial support
The workshop is open to all, but for practical reasons, participation is limited to a maximum of 25 participants.
Financial support for attending the meeting is available but will be primarily allocated to early-career researchers and/or researchers from low- and middle-income countries.
The deadline for registration is 15 August, and a reply about participation and financial support will be provided shortly thereafter.
The workshop will start on Wednesday morning, so participants should count on arriving
in Aarhus on Tuesday. On Friday, we will wrap up in the early afternoon, so people can travel home in the evening or on Saturday.
