Catchment Scale Hydrogeology
Burlington House, London
Tuesday 24th January 2006
The Hydrogeology Group of the Geological Society of London has organised a one day meeting on Catchment Scale Hydrogeology for Tuesday 24th January 2006 at Burlington House, Piccadilly. The meeting promises to provide a comprehensive account of ongoing hydrogeological research at the catchment scale in the UK and elsewhere. It will be of importance to those who are interested in field scale research methods, physical and chemical processes, numerical modelling, as well as catchment management.
As this meeting will be very well attended it is recommended that you register as soon as possible. To register, send an email entitled 'Catchment Scale Hydrogeology' to Carole Sharratt, BGS ([log in to unmask]) indicating: (i) name, (ii) affiliation, (iii) Geol Soc membership (if applicable), (iv) reception attendance (yes/no).
The deadline for registration is 12 January 2006
Registration costs: Members £10.00, Non-members £30.00, Students free (on production of student card), £7.50 for wine reception following the meeting. Pay on the door. Coffee, tea and biscuits provided.
