PREFACE

Agglutinated foraminifera are among the most widely distributed and abundant groups of marine meiofauna in some environments (e.g. marshes, deep-sea). They are tolerant of environmental extremes, tending to live where the evolutionarily more advanced calcareous foraminifera cannot survive. However, largely because of historical reasons, the amount of scientific effort invested in this group has been small in comparison to studies of other marine organisms.

The NATO Advanced Studies Institute conference on the paleoecology, biostratigraphy, paleoceanography and taxonomy of agglutinated foraminifera in TUbingen September 17-29, 1989, was a direct outgrowth of two previous workshops on agglutinated foraminifers held in Amsterdam in September 1981 (IW AF I) and in Vienna in June 1986 (IW AF 11). As such, the TUbingen conference constitutes the Third International Workshop on Agglutinated Foraminifera (IW AF III) and was organised to provide a platform for synthesizing the current state of knowledge on this group of organisms, and to strengthen interactions between basic research and applied micropaleontology. One of the main underlying themes of the conferen:e was to identify topics in the paleoecology, biostratigraphy, paleoceanography and taxonomy of agglutinated foraminifera which are in urgent need of further research.

About 80 scientists and students from 5 continents participated in the TUbingen conference, which is one measure of the growth in interest in agglutinated foraminifers over the past decade. During four days of technical sessions, scientific results were communicated in the form of 34 oral presentations and 15 poster displays. The field excursion held after the technical session visited important localities in Bavaria, Austria, Northern Italy, and Switzerland. The field trip provided an excellent opportunity to reexamine many of the classic localities for deep-water agglutinated foraminifera and obtain comparative material.

This conference was sponsored by the Scientific Affairs Division of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, with additional contributions by the Geological Institute of the University of TUbingen, the Volksbank TUbingen, and the cartography sections of the German Army at Ulm, who printed the field excursion guidebook. The Organizing Committee consisted of Christoph Hemleben (TUbingen), David B. Scott (Dalhousie University), Michael A. Kaminski (GEOMAR) and Wolfgang Kuhnt (TUbingen). Ingrid Breitinger undertook the task of coordinating logistics and registration. Other individuals who contributed directly to the success of this meeting include Sciren DUrr, Gerlinde Hockh, Horst HUttemann, Dorothee MUhlen, Bodo ROdiger and Marion Simson (all of TUbingen). Jane Barrett (Dalhousie) was the corresponding secretary. The field excursion benefited largely from the experience of Enrica Morlotti (Parma), Wilfried Winkler (ETH ZUrich), and the help of Winfried Mack. We extend our sincere gratitude to each of those persons and to everyone who contributed to making this meeting a success.

The publication of this book coincides with the 70th birthday of one of our contributors, Prof. Dr. Stanislaw Geroch. Stan is one of the true pioneers of deep water agglutinated foraminiferal taxonomy and biostratigraphy, and we were happy to benefit from his experience during the conference. We wish him all the best on his 70th•

This volume contains manuscripts of scientific presentations of the TUbingen conference, as well as several papers from authors unable to attend. We are grateful to the reviewers (listed at the end of this book) and to the many people who assisted with the technical production of this book, especially Danuta Kaminski (Kiel). We sincerely hope that the papers and conclusions presented in this volume will inspire continued research on the paleoecology, biostratigraphy, biology, paleoceanography, and taxonomy of agglutinated foraminifera.
