Metamorphic Studies Group

This is a joint specialist group of the Mineralogical Society and the Geological Society, and was inaugurated in 1981 to promote all aspects of field and laboratory studies relating to metamorphic rocks. Meetings on particular themes are held each year, and field excursions are periodically organised. In March of each year, an annual meeting is held on "Research in Progress" when short papers on all aspects of metamorphism are invited, and research students are particularly encouraged to participate. Further details about the group are available from the secretary, Dr Craig Storey, C.Storey@bristol.ac.uk

 Call for papers

The Metamorphic Studies Group will be holding its Research in Progress meeting and AGM on Wednesday 17^th March at the Department of Earth Sciences, Cambridge University. This year, we encourage contributions on any aspect of metamorphic petrology and the link between metamorphism and other geologic processes. Presentations from postgraduate students are particularly encouraged and a prize of £200 is offered for the best student presentation. The RIP is a good opportunity to air new developments or ideas, or perhaps to rehearse a presentation for forthcoming meetings.

Abstracts are invited from those who wish to make an oral or poster presentation. The abstract should be in Times Roman 12 pt font with title in bold capitals. It should not exceed 2 sides of A4 including diagrams and references. Any references should be listed in 8 pt font at the end of the text. Please send abstracts to me by e-mail at craig.storey@port.ac.uk or by hard copy to the postal address below. Please avoid sending attachments exceeding 2 Mbytes.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 
Friday 5th March
