The next annual Research in Progress meeting will take place at the
Geological Society, Burlington House, Picaddilly London on 22nd March
2000.
The Keynote Speaker will be Professor Peter Robinson (University of
Massachussetts, now based at NGU, Trondheim) whose presentation will
be entitled:-
"Thermobarometry, monazite chronology, deformation and exhumation of
kyanite eclogites, diamond-bearing gneisses and an ultrahigh pressure
/ high pressure thrust boundary, Western Gneiss Region, Norway"
Call for papers
Presentations may be in the form of posters or talks. Talks should be
of 20 minutes duration, allowing about 5 minutes for questions.
Posters should be no larger than 1m (horizontal) x 1.7m (vertical).
Abstracts should be sent to Simon Cuthbert at Geology Section,
Department of Civil Structural & Environmental Engineering, University
of Paisley, Paisley PA1 2BE, United Kingdom: email
[log in to unmask], tel. +44 141 848 3263, fax +44 141 848
3275. Abstracts should be no longer than a single side of A4

projectors and one overhead projector will be available. Please

any special AV requirements.
The MSG wishes to encourage postgraduate students to come and present

student giving the best oral presentation (as decided by a panel of
judges from the MSG committee). To be eligible the presentation must
have the student as first author or sole author/presenter and the
material must be drawn from the student's own research work.
Annual General Meeting
The Metamorphic Studies Group AGM will take place as a short session
during the meeting. Information on election or re-election of
committee members will be circulated shortly. If any current members
of the committee wish to stand down, or do not wish to be re-elected,
would they please contact the secretary as soon as possible.
About the Metamorphic Studies Group
The metamorphic studies Group is a special interest group affiliated
to The Geological Society and The Mineralogical Society. It is wholly
funded by the Mineralogical Society. The group aims to promote the
study of all aspects of metamorphism and metamorphic geology at all
scales, from the molecular to the mountain belt. Membership is open to
all members, fellows and student associates of The Geological Society
of London and the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain. Non-members
are welcome to participate in meetings.
Future MSG events
