white or colour. The figures should be no wider than the width of the text column. Larger figures will need to be placed at the end of the Expanded Abstract where they can extend the full width of the letter-size page. Electronic copies of the Expanded Abstract will be in colour.
Tables can be created within MS Word. As noted for figures above, if a table is to be placed within the text, it can be no wider than the width of the text column. Larger tables will need to be placed at the end of the Expanded
Abstract.
Figures and tables should be numbered according to the order they are referenced in the paper. Figures and tables should be referred to by their number in the text. When referring to figures and tables in the text, spell out and

2.1 Subheadings are 10 pt Helvetica and bold
Use an empty (blank) line to separate headings from the text and two empty (blank) lines to separate major sections of the Expanded Abstract. The whole abstract must be no text. Details in captions should not be restated in the text.
Examples of the caption format are given below: more than four pages long.
3.1 Figures and Tables
Figures and tables may be interspersed within the relevant section of the Expanded Abstract. Figures can be imported from a number of graphical formats and may be black and

Times New Roman for their text. Title captions are placed above the table.
Acknowledgements are optional. They should acknowledge any significant contributions made by people or organisations to the work presented in the Expanded
Abstract.
Acknowledgements go after the main text and before the References. The text is in 10 pt Times New
Roman.
Where a reference appears as part of a sentence, it should show the authors’ names, followed by the year of publication in parentheses.
This example refers to the work of Hendrick and Hearn (1999).
Where the full reference is parenthesised it should appear as follows
(Hendrick and Hearn, 1999). If an author has more than one publication in the same year, those will be differentiated by a letter (a, b, etc.) after the year. When reference is made in the text to work by three or more authors, only the first author’s name should be used, followed by “et al.”
A list of references must appear at the end of the main body of the text. References should be listed alphabetically by author. The text is 8.5pt Times New Roman. The preferred format is based on that used in the journal Andean Geology , for which instructions and examples are reproduced below. Several examples, for journal articles, conference abstracts, books and theses follow. a. Serials: Last name and initial of the first name of the authors, year, complete title of article, complete name of the serial, volume, number and pages:
