The 55
th BSRG Annual General Meeting is being held at the
University of Cambridge, hosted jointly by the
Department of Earth Sciences,
CASP and the
BP Institute. The main venue is
Churchill College. There will be a range of longer plenary talks, short 15 minute talks, and a strong emphasis on a poster session.
We look forward to welcoming academic and
industrial colleagues with interests in sedimentology, sedimentary
geology, and related fields such as basins, modelling, planetary
science, palaeoenvironments and ichnology to the key event in the BSRG
calendar. It's a fantastic opportunity to meet everyone working in this
area, present your science, broaden your sedimentology knowledge and
discuss ideas with potential collaborators.
