■Osaka is the Root of Metasequoia Study
The 3rd International Metasequoia Symposium will be held at Osaka, Japan from August 3 to 8, 2010. The organizing
committee is pleased to invite you to participate in the 3rd International
Metasequoia Symposium.
This interdisciplinary conference will provide scientists the opportunity
to present and discuss new research on Metasequoia and allied genera. The organizing committee has selected Japan as the
location to hold the 3rd International Metasequoia Symposium because it has a history rich in the study of fossil plants
and one of its most notable scientists is Professor S. Miki who was the
first person to describe Metasequoia fossils. The symposium is taking place at the Osaka Museum of Natural
History (OMNH) where Professor Miki’s collection resides, and symposium
participants will have an opportunity to observe Miki’s collection. The
organizing committee would also be delighted, if the participants could
enjoy a field excursion visiting some Neogene fossil sites and selected
locations where you can enjoy typical Japanese nature and hospitality.
