This volume contains twelve papers presented at a joint meeting of The Micropalaeontological Society, the American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists and the North American Micropaleontology Section of SEPM, held at University College London in September 2002. The main theme of the meeting was the same as the title of the volume, Recent Developments in Applied Biostratigraphy, but given the audience, it should come as no surprise to learn that the biostratigraphy covered in the volume is micropalaeontological, in its broadest sense, and that it is applied almost exclusively to exploration and production problems in the hydrocarbons industry. The meeting itself attracted 78 oral presentations and almost 40 posters, so the twelve papers published here represent about 10% of the whole. Nevertheless, they give a flavour of themes that are extant in micropalaeontology and palynology, especially applied to hydrocarbons exploration and production.
