Dear Colleagues,
The Programme for the forthcoming Metamorphic Studies Group annual 'Research in Progress' meeting is included below. The talks start at 11am, to give attendees time to travel to London. Keynote speaker is Dr Simon Wallis from Nagoya University, Japan, on 'The Problem of Hot Subduction Zones'.
I look forward to seeing you in London next Thursday!
Yours,
Tom Argles, (Secretary to the MSG)
