Topic: eMesozoic
Leaders: Emma Bernard, Lil Stevens, Pip Brewer, NHM London
More details to follow.

Webinar Topic: Serving your georeferencing data via data aggregators
Leader: Erica Clites, University of California Museum of Paleontology, Berkeley, CA
This webinar will define and discuss common DarwinCore terms related to georeferencing and discuss factors to consider when serving your georeferencing data online. If you are currently serving your georeferencing data, come prepared with the list of terms you serve or just bring your questions!
The iDigBio Paleo Data and Digitization Working Group is pleased to host a webinar led by Dr. Scott Foss, Bureau of Land Management Senior Paleontologist. The webinar will provide an opportunity to learn about and discuss the Paleontological Resources Preservation Act of 2009 (PRPA)
This session at GSA 2016 will focus on paleontology/geo databases, data standards related to paleontology, and mobilization of research-quality paleontology data to iDigBio and other aggregators. These topics have sparked considerable interest amongst the iDigBio Paleontology Digitization Working Group and are a natural extension of existing digitization programs.
The Paleobiology Database Executive Committee is running a hackathon with the goal of creating exciting tools (web applications, R code, data analysis tools, data visualization tools, integration with other web databases, etc.) that use the Paleobiology Database API for research, education, or outreach.
When and where? March 20th-22nd, 2015, on the campus of UC Santa Cruz.
Arguably the most important joint gathering of paleo and geo scientists in North America, the annual conference of the Geological Society of America (GSA) regularly attracts more than 5,000 participants, several hundred posters and presentations, and an array of vendors and exhibitors.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — With the goal of promoting life-long learning, University of Florida researchers will use a four-year, $1.97 million National Science Foundation grant to create a nationwide network of amateur and professional paleontologists.
More than 60 paleontologists representing 41 institutions assembled in New Haven, CT the week of September 23rd, 2013 to share ideas, protocols, preferences, and strategies. This was iDigBio’s most populous workshop to date, with an assortment of excellent presentations and ample opportunities for rich discussion.
iDigBio, in collaboration with Yale Peabody Museum, is pleased to announce the fourth in a series of preparation-specific workshops focusing on organizing, launching, maintaining, and/or enhancing a collections digitization program. This new workshop will focus on digitizing paleontology collections, including invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants.
