Dear colleagues, The British Geophysical Association’s annual Postgraduate Research in Progress meeting will take place in Durham on 1st and 2nd September. We take a broad view of “geophysics”, and welcome any participant and presentation from associated fields such as geotectonics and geodynamics. Please encourage your research students to register and submit a presentation. Registration and abstract submission are open until the end of July. Supervisors are also encouraged to take part! Further details and registration are available at http://www.dur.ac.uk/conference.booking/details/?id=14 Highlights will include Tavi Murray’s presentation of her Bullerwell lecture “Beneath the ice: geophysical observations at Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica”, and the BGA invited lecture by Lars Stixrude “From minerals to mantle: the planetary mosaic”. This is an excellent opportunity for postgraduate students to present their work to a broader audience in a friendly atmosphere, to discuss results with other staff and students, to network (e.g. seek job opportunities!) and to learn what is going on in the national (and wider) geophysical scene. We very much look forward to seeing you and your students at the meeting! With best regards, Roger Searle -- R. C.
