Palaeogeography
Date: 10 - 13 August 2008
Venue: St John's College, Cambridge
Last chance to register.
Palaeogeography is a key boundary for explorationists in the oil, gas and
minerals industries and climate modellers alike. This meeting has
been designed to bring together all interested parties and to look at the
problem from three main perspectives: plate tectonic models, which underpin
all palaeographies; palaeolandscapes, which includes palaeotopography and
palaeobathymetry as well as palaeorivers; climate and ocean dynamics, which
examines how palaeography impinges on Earth System Modelling.
Keynote
speakers include:
David
Rowley (university of Chicago)
Alan Smith (University of Cambridge)
Paul Valdes (University of Bristol)
Larry Lawver (University of Texas, Austin)
Simon Dadsen (University of Oxford)
Nick Herold (University of Sydney)

Venue: SkyCity Convention Centre, Auckland, New Zealand
The New Zealand Geotechnical Society invites you to join us for the
11th IAEG Congress.
New Zealand sits astride the
leading edge of the Australian Plate where it converges with the Pacific
basin in a mobile margin of subduction, shearing, volcanism and uplift. A
land of mountains, faults, earthquakes, volcanoes, weak rock, landslides,
rivers and coastlines – this is Aotearoa; this land is Geologically Active.
Geologically Active will address the particular challenges that working in
geologically active terrain presents to engineering geological and
geotechnical practitioners worldwide.
Deadlines
February 2009 - call for abstracts
Mid September 2009 - abstract submission deadline; registrations open
Mid March 2010 - paper deadline
End June 2010 - early bird registrations close.

New website for
postgraduate students
Launched in May, the
Graduate Junction is a new website designed to help research students make
contact with others who share similar research interests, regardless of
which department, institution or country they work in.
By
simply registering a few basic details, students can search for fellow
researchers by keyword, institution, department, supervisor or name. There
is also a comprehensive list of research groups, so students can find and
communicate with others sharing their academic interests. With the addition
of conference and postgraduate job listings imminent, The Graduate Junction
aims to be one of the most useful resources available for all research
students. See for yourself at www.graduatejunction.com .
