The coming week (14-19th April) sees the annual gathering of geoscientists from around the world, at the European Geophysical Union General Assembly, in Vienna. Members of the Department will be contributing, giving 16 presentations (either as posters or orals), convening one session during the week and appearing as co-authors on even more presentations. These contributions will showcase the cutting edge physical geography research that takes place across the Department, spanning the fields of cryospheric science, atmospheric modelling, geochronology, palaeoclimate and geohazards.

Stephen Lezak has published a guest essay in the New York Times today responding to the recent rejection of the proposed Anthropocene epoch by the International Commission on Stratigraphy. His article also quotes SPRI and Geography Emeritus Professor Phil Gibbard.
