Draft workshop programme
The meeting consists of two days of talks and posters with a workshop dinner on Monday 31st March. See below for the current version of the programme.
Talks take place in the Seminar rooms (ground floor) in the Department of Earth Sciences, South Parks Road, OX1 3AN, Oxford, with coffee and lunch in the Researchers Common Room (RCR) on the top floor (O5). Posters will be in the Atrium adjacent to the Seminar rooms.
Poster boards are portrait format with a size of 1.6 m wide x 1.7 m high. Posters can be put up before the first talk sessions starts.
