Instructions
General
- Only one presentation per person will be allowed. This applies to all presentations, be
they posters or oral presentations, in special sessions or contributed sessions. An
individual may be listed as co-author on more than one abstract, but the senior author
must present the paper.
- Presentations must be based on original work that has not been published prior to the
meeting. Abstracts must contain sufficient information to convey the main theme,
objectives, results, and conclusions of the work.
- Abstracts (max 200 words) will be evaluated on relevance of the subject
to benthology, originality, quality of writing, and adherence to required guidelines.
- Before submitting an abstract, authors should be confident that they will attend the
meeting. Withdrawal of papers creates problems. If cancellation is necessary, please
contact a program chairperson immediately.
- All abstracts for the contributed and poster sessions must be received by Friday, 7
January, 2000. Special Session abstracts should also be submitted electronically by 7
January; additionally a copy should be sent to the convenor of the particular special
session, who will then forward all abstracts to the special session organizer (LeRoy Poff)
(see information on Special Sessions below). Technical Workshop abstracts must be
submitted directly to the special session organizer (LeRoy Poff) by 31 December, 1999.
Submitting an abstract
- To submit an abstract, go to the abstract submission form and
enter the type of presentation and the number of authors and distinct affiliations.

Do not break affiliations up into departments or sub-affiliations.
- Enter the title of the Abstract. See the area on Special
Characters and Formatting.
- Now you can type in the abstract itself. You may find it easier to cut and paste from
your word processor. See the area on Special Characters and
Formatting. No tables are allowed.
- Click the "Preview" button to view your abstract with special characters
resolved (as far a your browser support them). Proofread the abstract here. If you want to
make changes to it, Click the "Edit" button. Do not use your browser's
back button as this may erase all data on the form!

modify/delete an abstract that has been saved on the system.
