4th Nereis Park Conference (Plymouth Marine Laboratory, 7th - 10th July 2014)

The purpose of Nereis Park is to strengthen collaboration and knowledge exchange between scientists studying the bioturbation processes induced by the King Nereis, other animals and vegetal organisms in sediments and soils.

Registration and abstract submission is now open. Abstract deadline will be 31st March 2014 and registration will close 1st June 2014.

Provisional themes
