This meeting attracted over a hundred geologists from all over the world and from all the niches of academia and industry. Most of the presentations were made by Mike’s former students and colleagues. Quite apart from the presentations, the coffee breaks, wine reception and Chinese meal on the Thursday night saw great discussions. Topics ranged far and wide, as befitted a meeting in Mike’s memory. You can get an idea from the programme below.
Arising from the meeting there is a plan to publish a collection of papers in a Special Publication of the Geological Society (subject to final ratification by the Publications Committee). The deadline for submissions of manuscripts is end September 2004.
Titles and expressions of interest should be sent to Alison Ries (riescoward@dsl.pipex.com).
The meeting was preceded by a field trip to NW Scotland. There is a report on this, with photographs, reference lists and other information available.
