CARBONATES AT THE MILLENNIUM
10TH SYMPOSIUM ON THE GEOLOGY OF THE BAHAMAS 
 AND OTHER CARBONATE REGIONS


JUNE 8-12, SAN SALVADOR ISLAND, BAHAMAS

Nine previous symposia have been highly successful in meeting the following
objectives:
*	To provide a forum for the presentation of results of current
geologic research being conducted throughout the Bahama Archipelago and
geologically similar areas such as Florida, the Caribbean, and elsewhere.

*	To examine outcrops of Late Pleistocene and Holocene rocks and
modern environments in the field.

*	To provide an informal setting to facilitate contacts and
cooperation between geologists working in the Bahamas and geologically
similar areas.

*	To promote the growth of knowledge in the general area of carbonates
geology.         

In recognition of the first meeting of the next millennium, the organizers
wish to expand the scope of the meeting to include:

*	Research in modern and ancient carbonate systems that is applied to
modern ecological issues.

*	Research in carbonate systems that includes a strong outreach
component.
*	

FIELD TRIPS:

FULL-DAY FIELD TRIP TO OOLITE SHOALS OF JOULTER'S CAY

Daily menu of field trips on San Salvador will include:
*	Explore the Quaternary stratigraphic framework of the island and
associated karst features.
*	Examine the physical sedimentary structures and trace fossils of
Holocene carbonate eolianites.
*	Investigate the Cockburn Town fossil coral reef and snorkel on
modern analogues.
*	Snorkel or SCUBA dive on Gaulin's Reef and in Grahama's Harbour.
*	Explore Lighthouse Cave
