New IAA’s Honorary Members
At the last International Congress on Aerobiology, held in Buenos Aires, Argen-
tina, August 2010, the Council proposed to make Jean Emberlin and Siegfried
Jäger Honorary Members of the IAA and the General Assembly, unanimously,
approved with applause.
Both of them are among the most eminent
and active European aerobiologists who
have spent within the space of the last three
decades, the majority of their research job to
improve and spread the aerobiology science
at national and international levels and to
promote the advancement of the IAA.
Jean Emberlin started her career at the De-
partment of Geography in the Polytechnic of
North London then at the National Pollen
and Aerobiology Research Unit, University
Worcester where she continued her activity
in aerobiology and she began scientific col-
laboration with many aerobiologists in vari-
ous countries.
Her main fields of research are about the
grasses and birch pollination, the variation
of other allergenic pollen types abundance
in the air, the meteorological parameters
which influence the pollen season with the
elaboration of forecasting models to foreseen
the start of pollination and the dispersion and
impact of pollen. Other fields are the
dynamic of air pollutants and particulate
matter, the dispersal of maize pollen, source
of some indoor allergens, pollen monitoring
networks, and quality control procedures
whit special focus on human health.
In 1997 Jean Emberlin organized the 3rd
European Course in basic aerobiology in
Worcester, UK, and afterwards she was a
member of the teaching staff of following
European Courses. She has taken part in
Scientific Committees of many international
aerobiological congresses and in 2003 she
was Chairman of Organizing Committee of
3rd European Symposium on Aerobiology
held in Worcester, UK.
Siegfried Jäger started his activity in aerobi-
ology in the seventies at the Hals-Nasen und
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
IAA 2010-2014
PRESIDENT
Dr Giuseppe Frenguelli Dep. Applied Biol., Univ. of Perugia
2002 to 2006 Vice-President, and member of the Executive Committee with duties as Editor of IAA-Newsletter
from 2006 to 2010. Since 2008 he has been the President of the European Society of Aerobiology (EAS). The contribute of Jean and Siegfried to aerobiology has been fruitful and remarkable and all the aerobiological
community thanks for everything they have done in the past and, hopefully, they will continue to do in the future.
The 16th Congress of European Mycologists, which is organ-ized under the auspices of the European Mycological Asso-ciation, will be held in northern Greece, near Thessaloniki, at the resort of Porto Carras in Halkidiki, from 19 to 23 Sep-tember 2011. Aeromycology is one of the main thematic areas, intended
to encourage aerobiologists to communicate their results in a mycological congress and also to stimu-late the interest of young mycologists in Europe, for extending their studies to airborne mycobiota, as a complement to their research on fungi colonizing various substrates. Two keynote lectures on aeromycology will be presented : “Outdoor Airspora: Patterns, Prevalence, & Impacts” by Christine Rogers, Univ. of Massachusetts, USA “Recent advances in Indoor Mycology” by Robert Samson, CBS-KNAW Fungal Biodiversity Centre, The Netherlands. The Organizing Committee extends an invitation to aerobiologists worldwide, to participate in the XVI CEM. Contributions related to Aeromycology are very welcome.

2011 XVIII. INQUA-Congress, Bern, Switzerland, July 20-27, 2011. The next INQUA-Congress will be held 20-27 July 2011 in Bern, Switzerland. See http://www.inqua2011.ch/ for further details.
2011 Pan American Aerobiology Symposium (PAAA), San Diego, USA, August 7-9, 2011 This symposium will be held at the Bahia Resort Hotel, San Diego. Abstract submission by April 30, 2011.

Conference theme will be on "Problems of a modern palynology". The purpose of the conference will be the wid-est exchange of opinions on the basic theo-retical and practical problems of palynology.

2011 6th International Conference on Environmental Micropaleontology, Microbiology and Meiobentholo-gy (EMMM), Moscow, Russia, September 19-22, 2011 This EMMM conference will take place at the A.A. Bo-rissiak Paleontological Institute of the Russian Acad-emy of Sciences in Moscow. Abstract submission by April 1st, 2011. More information is available at www.paleo.ru/EMMM-2011
2011 XXII APLF Symposium and XVIII Symposio de l´APLE, Meudon (Paris), France, September 19-23, 2011 The APLF and APLE Joint Symposium will take place in Septem-ber 2011 in Meudon, France, around the subject of Palynology and Diversities: tools, landscapes, methods, models, applica-tions. This Joint Meeting will take place at Meudon Bellevue, headquarters of the regional delegation 05 CNRS, 1 place Aris-tide Briand, in Meudon, and will be organized by Agnès Gauthier (UMR 8591 CNRS), Nathalie Combourieu Nebout (UMR 8212 CNRS), and Vincent Lebreton (UMR 7194 CNRS), as well as by D. Fernandez- Gonzales (Universities of Leon, Spain) and M.R. Rivas Carballo (University of Salamanca, Spain). The French language Palynology Association (APLF) and the Spanish language Palyno-logy Association (APLE) federate many scientists involved in Sci-ences of the Nature, of the Earth, of the Man and of the Society. As an extension of the year of biodiversity, the main theme of the next symposium of the APLF/APLE focuses on the diversity through the Palynology.
Under the title Palynology and Diversity it is aimed at exploring the multiple markers (pollen grains, spores, dinoflagellate, acritarchs, quitinozoos, NPPs, microcharcoal, etc.), media (temperate, medite-rranean, tropical, peat bogs, lakes, ponds, marine), methods (morphology, taxonomy, analysis, statisti-cal), models (calibration, maps of vegetation, quantification climatic, analysis of data) and applica-tions (aeropalinology, allergology, biology of the reproduction, melisopalinology, paleontology, ecolo-gy, climatology, archeology) developed and used by the community of palinologist. We hope that this issue, totally open, raise your interest and we can meet to make discussions rich and animated con-cerning our investigations. All the scientific presentations to address any of the thematic mentioned, will be welcome.
2012 IPC XIII / IOPC IX Joint Meeting in Tokyo, Japan, Aug. 23-30, 2012
The joint meeting of the 13th International Palynological Congress (IPC-XIII 2012) and the 9th International Organisation of Palaeobotany Confer-ence (IOPC-IX 2012) will be held in Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan, under the theme: Palynology and Palaeobotany in the Century of the Environment. Our world is changing dramatically. There are many urgent environmental issues, such as pollution, climate change, landscape and land-use changes, that have affected ecosystem, biological diversity and human life. Palynology and Palaeobotany have provided baseline information on the past biological and environ-mental changes, which have in turn become critical for sustainable environmental management and nature conservation. In Japan and elsewhere more medical doctors are actively involved in Aerobiology andPalynology to prevent further spread of pollen-related allergies influenced by Human-induced environmental changes. Our disciplines now have wider implica-tions and applications relevant to the modern soci-ety than ever. The main theme is thus timely for the IPC/IOPC 2012 meeting in Tokyo, Japan.

2011 DINO9: 9th International Conference on Modern and Fossil Dinoflagellates, Liverpool, UK, Au-gust 28-Sept. 2nd 2011
This Ninth International Conference on Modern and Fossil Dinoflagellates will be held at the Univer-sity of Liverpool, UK. The overarching aim of the conference is to bring together researchers working on present day dinoflagellates with those working on dinoflagellates in the fossil record to foster in-terdisciplinary understanding and collaboration. Four workshops are planned with themes to be deci-ded. Organizing committee: Fabienne Marret (School of Environmental Sciences, Liverpool, UK) and Jane Lewis (School of Life Sci-ences, University of Westminster, UK). To contact us: [email protected].
