Hi All,
First, apologise for cross-postings.
Second, please find here a link to information regarding the first ever Geological Society of London Frontiers meeting, which will take place at Burlington House on Friday the 11th of November 2011:

Frontiers Meetings are 1-day meetings focused on short presentations and discussion to explore developments in emerging geoscience areas, followed by an open discussion forum. This year’s theme is ‘The Coupling Between Tectonics and Surface Processes’. Oral presentations are invited on all aspects of the coupling between tectonic and surface processes, but we are particularly interested in contributions from fields that are not conventionally covered at Geological Society research meetings, and/or lie at the interfaces between different fields. Such fields might include atmospheric physics and geotechnical studies, while interfaces include the applications of seismology, geodesy, glaciology and mantle geophysics to understanding tectonic drivers and the feedbacks on those drivers. The meeting format will be somewhat different to a ‘standard’ Geological Society conference as, rather than having conventional keynote speakers, we will have “Discussion Leaders” who will highlight one or two keys areas for future research, which will then act as the starting point for discussions after each block of talks. Note that the meeting is free to attend. The abstract submission deadline is Friday the 29th of July 2011 and abstracts should be submitted to Georgina Worrall ([log in to unmask]).
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the convenors or Georgina Worrall in the Geological Society conference office.
Thanks and we hope to see you there,
Mark Allen - University of Durham ([log in to unmask])
