Hi Clare,
How is life?
I have a question for the meeting of the 15th.
Do you prefer the students to give talk, and more experienced guys have a
poster? just because in the latter case I need to schedule some timeto
prepare both mine (and Paddy´s) posters.
Thanks
ciao

> The unofficial theme for this year’s MSG is “metamorphism is not all
> about pseudosections!”. We therefore encourage presentations on all
> aspects of “change in rocks”, be they mineralogical, deformational,
> fluid-mediated or whatever. We also encourage submissions that link to
> the Geological Society’s “Year of Water” theme.
>
> Student presentations are particularly encouraged at the MSG meeting.
> Students presenting at the meeting and who are studying at a UK/Irish
> university will be eligible to apply for travel grants to attend
> conferences.
>
> Keynote and invited speakers:
>
> Joerg Hermann (Bern): fluids in metamorphic systems
> Bruce Yardley (ex-Leeds): 35 years of the MSG, a tongue-in-cheek
> retrospective
> Owen Weller (Canadian Geological Survey): eclogites in the Trans Hudson
> Orogen: the oldest eclogites in the world?

"In those early days people laughed at me. They quoted Saussure who had
said that it was not a proper thing to examine mountains with microscopes,
and ridiculed my action in every way. Most luckily I took no notice of
them"
(Henry Clifton Sorby)
To many petrologists a volatile component is exactly like a Maxwell
daemon; it does just what one may wish it to do.
