This year, Dr. Voarintsoa joined the AGU Fall Meeting Program Committee 2021, Topic "Paleoceanography & Paleoclimatology"
The 2021 Fall Meeting organized by AGU will be a "hybrid" meeting. The goal is to optimize both in-person and worldwide virtual participation and to present a best-in class experience for all attendees. Join theFall Meeting 2021 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

July:
Dr. Voarintsoa will participate in the Early Career Geoscience Faculty virtual Workshop: 'Teaching, Research and Managing Your Career' an event sponsored by National Association of Geoscience Teachers in July 25-29, 2021 (with an optional virtual visit to the National Science Foundation scheduled on Tuesday-Wednesday, August 3-4)

Dr. Voarintsoa has been invited to participate in the Malagasy Grassy Biomes workshop that will be held on July 27-30 (13:00-15:00 GMT). This workshop is aimed at understanding the distribution of Holocene grassy biomes in Madagascar, with a potential to construct an interdisciplinary review paper surrounding Malagasy grassy biome history, and develop a working group for potential further papers. A pre-recorded talk can be found on Youtube.
