Welcome to the website of the BSRG 2013 annual meeting.

This year’s AGM will be hosted at the University of Hull from the evening of the 18th December to the afternoon of the 21th December 2013.

The 52nd AGM sees BSRG come to East Yorkshire for the very first time. This is a fabulous time for us to host BSRG here in Hull as this year marks the return of Geology into our undergraduate programme and is particularly symbolic given that Hull was to be the venue of the 1989 AGM that was moved to Leeds in the aftermath of the closure of Hull’s Geology department that year!
As in previous years, we are looking forward to a strong turn-out from research students and early career researchers, together with established academics and practitioners in industry. We will once again have a series of topical sessions led by invited speakers, a technical session hosted by the Clay Minerals Group of Mineralogical Society of GB & Ireland, an icebreaker reception, conference dinner at The Deep aquarium, and a field trip to the Yorkshire coast.

The meeting is financially supported by a number of organisations, allowing us to keep registration costs to a minimum and ensuring that we are able to run an exciting programme. Support from sponsors has also enabled us to invite a series of invited speakers who will present exciting new results that span a range of sedimentological research areas.
