The Canadian Association of Palynologists was founded in 1978 and, at a recent count
(May 1 2008), consists of 55 members in good standing. The Association is run by a small
executive. CAP members include palynologists
from Universities, Industry and Government Agencies. CAP membership is drawn from the
worldwide palynological community. The Association focusses on
palynology from all geologic eras, spanning the Palaeozoic to the Quaternary.
Palynologists from all branches of the discipline, from stratigraphic palynology,
to palaeoecology, to melissopalynology, participate in the Association. We welcome
new members.
CAP communicates primarily through a newsletter that is produced twice a year
(May and December). This web presentation is designed as a supplement and extension of the
CAP Newsletter. The CAP web presentation is intended as an information resource
for CAP members and anyone else interested in Canadian palynology.
2010 CAP Student Research Award
The Canadian Association of Palynologists Annual Student Research
Award was established in 2009 to recognize students' contributions to
palynological research. The award is open to any undergraduate or
graduate student who is a member, in good standing, of CAP, regardless
of their nationality or country of residence. The intent of the
research award is to support student research with a strong
palynological component. The award consists of a three-year membership
in the Association and $200 CDN, to be put toward some aspect of the
student's research.
The application should consist of: 1) a one-page
statement outlining the nature of the research project, its scientific
importance, the approximate timeline to completion of the project, and
the aspect of the research the funds would be directed toward; (2) a
CV; and, (3) a letter of support from the student's supervisor.
Applications should be submitted in French or English by email.
Completed applications and questions concerning the award should be
sent to the CAP President, Matthew Peros (mperos@uottawa.ca), by March
1st, 2010.
