  Hello ESP Members,

  The Earth Sciences and Paleobiology Interest Group will be meeting next
Tuesday (September 22 @ 17:00 UTC) as part of the TDWG 2020 Virtual
meetings [1]. We hope that many of you will be able to join us.
Registration for the conference this year is free and can be completed
on the TDWG eventbrite page [2]. You will need to register to access the
Zoom link for the meeting.

  During the session we'd like to include updates about any parallel
efforts or major initiatives since our meeting last year at
biodiversity_next. If you would like to share an update, please send me
a note. You're also welcome to send along a slide to include in our
meeting documents.

  Please see the session description below for more details. We look
forward to chatting with you soon!

  Best,
  Holly

  Session description:
  In this meeting we will cover standard business of the Earth Science
and Paleobiology interest group [3] including: provide an orientation to
the interest group for new attendees, share updates on activities of the
interest group, gather reports from ESP members that are participating
in parallel efforts in related groups (e.g. DiSSCo and iDigBio Paleo
Data Working Group), and define action items for the coming year. In
addition we will use this meeting of the interest group to hold a
focused discussion on the use of standards for annotating stratigraphic
and geological context data and to plan the publication of
recommendations and best practices.
