TSG-VMSG-BGA

 

4-6^th January 2017

 

REGISTRATION AND ABSTRACT SUBMISSION CLOSE TOMORROW – NOVEMBER 5^TH!

The Joint Assembly of the Tectonic Study Group (TSG), the Volcanic and Magmatic (VMSG) and the British Geophysical Association (BGA) Local Organising Committee kindly remind you that this is the last chance to register for the conference and contribute to the exciting 3-day multi-disciplinary scientific programme

 

Register before midnight on Saturday November 5^th HERE with discount for members of the geological Society, Royal Astronomical Society and Mineralogical Society.

 

Submit your abstract following the guidelines HERE until the same time. Unfortunately late submissions cannot be accepted. We particularly invite early career scientists to contribute to the scientific programme and will welcome presentations that represent Research in Progress. 

 

The Joint Assembly will consist of cross-disciplinary and focused symposia to encourage integration and collaboration across study groups – A full session list including keynote speakers is below and is available with descriptions HERE.

 

We look forward to welcome you all in Liverpool, the perfect, vibrant location for this exciting new joint venture!
