QRA PG Symposium

A spot of good weather for our fieldtrip to New Ferry, Dead Island Bog, and the Giant's Causeway. Thank you to Prof. Helen Roe and Prof. Andrew Cooper for their insights on some of the fascinating Quaternary records N. Ireland has to offer.

Thank you to our two Keynote speakers Prof. Paul Dunlop and Prof. Gill Plunkett for their fantastic talks.

A great turnout for the @QuaternaryRA_UK PGR Symposium held last week at @QUBGeography, co-hosted by @UlsterUniGES.

Announcing this years postgraduate conference held in Durham on the 7-8th of September! This is a great opportunity to showcase your research in a friendly environment, and get to know other Quaternary ECRs! eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-th…

All of these debates are very interesting, and are critical in the run up to upcoming decisions about the Anthropocene by the International Commission on Stratigraphy! Make sure you give them all a read 📖

The next two items debate different, but related topics about whether the Anthropocene should be made by scientists alone, or embrace a much wider field of academic disciplines such as History and Archeology.

🚨New discussions on the Anthropocene are now live in the latest issue of the Journal of Quaternary Science 🚨 The first four articles discuss the nature and status of the Anthropocene - all free to access here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/10991417/2…
