The British Sedimentological Research Group
BSRG
is the principal focus point for all aspects of sedimentological research in the UK.
The group is an informal collection of sedimentologists from both Britain and the rest
of the world, there is no membership or joining fee, if you come to a meeting then
you are a member by default. The aims of the group are to:
-
Provide a focus for sedimentological research both within the UK and internationally.
-
Promote and support young research workers (PhDs and post-docs) in sedimentology.
-
Organise and support high quality research meetings including an annual AGM.
-
Provide a resource base for sedimentologists world wide.
BSRG is an affiliated group of the
Geological Society
and has informal links with
IAS (The International Association of Sedimentologists)
and
SEPM (The Society for Sedimentary Geology)
. This website is intended to help raise the international
profile of BSRG and to provide a useful resource for its members and other
sedimentologists. The contents of this site can be navigated from the
navigation bar on the right or by using the site search box below it.
