Notes: "Kalkowsky Symposium 2008, held in Göttingen, Germany"--P. [4] of cover.

Proceedings of an international symposium on stromatolites held Oct. 4-11, 2008, dedicated to Ernst Louis Kalkowsky, 1851-1938, organized under the auspices of the DFG-Research Unit FOR 571 "Geobiology of Organo- and Biofilms" : Coupling Geosphere and Biosphere via Microbial Processes and the Courant Research Centre Geobiology at the Universität Göttingen. Cf. pref. and symposium's abstract volume and field guide to excursions (viewed through Scientific Commons PDF Dec. 21, 2010).

Includes bibliographical references and index.
