Dear all, The above will be on the subject of 'Scale-invariance and scale-dependence in Earth structure and dynamics' at Burlington House on 9-10 March 2006, organised by myself, Bruce Malamud, John McCloskey and Chris Bean. The Discussion Meeting will also include the Bullerwell lecture, to be given by Andrew Jackson this year, and the following reception sponsored by the RAS. We have a good set of invited speakers on a broad range of topics, and hope you will consider attending, presenting a talk or poster, or contributing to the discussion. Thanks to sponsorship from the RAS, the Geol. Soc., and external sponsors, registration is free for students, members of the RAS or Geol. Soc., and a nominal fee of £10 is payable for others. For more details see http://www.ras.org.uk/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=227#mar The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 1 December 2005. Do feel free to forward this to colleagues not on the mailing list, and do forgive any multiple postings. Cheers, Ian Main.
