Quaternary Discussion Group

NEWS: The Quaternary Discussion Group, after many years, has returned to the place of its inception: Clare College.

Seminars will usually be held on Thursdays or Fridays starting just after 17:00 at Clare College in the Latimer Room (at left in first court) OR the Thirkill Room (far left corner of first court).

Wine will usually be served after the talks and there will be time for discussion over drinks and/or dinner after the seminar, which should last approximately 1 hour. The meetings are currently organised by Dr Luke Skinner [luke00@esc.ac.uk], Godwin Laboratory for Palaeoclimate Research, Department of Earth Sciences. Please feel free to contact Luke with queries and suggestions.

A map showing the location of Clare College is available.
