The Department of Geography at Durham University is delighted to be hosting the British Branch meeting of the International Glaciological Society on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd September, 2015.
As in previous meetings, the conference will include oral and poster presentations, spread over two days, on a wide range of snow and ice research. In the spirit of previous meetings, registration and accommodation costs will be kept to a minimum and delegates from overseas are very much welcome to attend.
The conference dinner will take place in the magnificent Great Hall of Durham Castle on the evening of Wednesday 2nd September. Accommodation (both en-suite and shared bathroom) has been reserved in nearby Grey College. A number of other accommodation options are available for those who wish to make their own arrangements.
Durham is a spectacular cathedral city with a rich heritage. Narrow cobbled streets wind their way around the rocky peninsula to the majestic Norman cathedral and castle, which are a designated World Heritage Site. The city is well served by motorway access, Durham railway station, and Newcastle International Airport (30 minutes by car, 1 hour by rail).
Registration and abstract submission will open in mid-May, when further details will be circulated.
