Places still available + programme for Ocean Bottom Geophysics meeting at the RAS, London, UK (March 14)

[Ferreira, Ana]

Dear all,

There are still places available for our RAS OBG meeting (March 14) - you can register for either in-person or online attendance following this link:

https://ras.ac.uk/events-and-meetings/ras-meetings/ocean-bottom-geophysics-progress-and-perspectives

We have got a very exciting programme of oral presentations (see details below) plus about 30 poster presentations.

Thanks to the kind support of our sponsors Güralp, K.U.M., OSEAN and Nanometrics, there will be a free lunch at the RAS for all those attending the event.

We look forward to meeting you in London!

Best wishes,

Ana, on behalf or the organising committee: Ana Ferreira (UCL), Tim Henstock (Univ. Southampton), Stephen Hicks (UCL), Mike Kendall (Univ. Oxford), Neil Mitchell (Univ. Manchester), Christine Peirce (University of Durham)
