63rd British Sedimentological Research Group Annual General Meeting

The 63rd British Sedimentological Research Group (BSRG) annual general meeting (AGM) will be in Cloth Hall Court, Quebec St, Leeds LS1 2HA.

We welcome you to the 63rd British Sedimentological Research Group (BSRG) annual general meeting (AGM), which will take place at the University of Leeds in December 2024. The AGM is the most important event in the BSRG calendar and is the focus for many of our activities. As well as communicating your exciting science, the AGM provides the chance to meet other researchers, peers and industry contacts.

The talk and poster sessions, ideal for post-graduate students and early career researchers, provide an excellent opportunity to share your research with a supportive audience and to disseminate your cutting-edge sedimentological research! The AGM has long provided a platform for postgraduates to share initial findings and get feedback at an early stage – and we particularly welcome contributions from early career researchers.

The AGM will be hosted at the University’s newly refurbished Cloth Court Hall in Leeds city centre, with icebreaker at Leeds institution The Tetley and conference dinner at Akbar’s curry restaurant.
