Our very own Drs. Luis Buatois and Gabriela Mángano will be teaching a short course at the 7th International Conference of Palaeogeography in Mendoza, Argentina, which will be held from October 16th-19th 2026. This will be the first International Conference of Palaeogeography held outside of China and it will take advantage of the wealth of knowledge of earth scientists from around the globe and the breathtaking vistas of the Andes mountains to better understand geological processes.

This short course will focus on trace fossils in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, reviewing basic ichnology, the role of environmental factors on trace fossil distribution, and the strengths and weakness of current models. In addition, they will explore perspectives for future developments that may result in the construction of trace-fossil models for less understood depositional environments.

This course is scheduled for the 16th of October, 2026 at the Sheraton Mendoza Hotel in Mendoza, Argentina. For more information please check out the ISP’s website at the following link: https://www.isp2022.org/en/conferences/
