The History of Geology Group (HOGG) has hosted several successful past Open Meetings. Free from the constraints of a particular theme, such meetings give an opportunity for sharing research which may be preliminary, obscure, or highly topical – but always of interest! We are very grateful to those who have offered the contributions which make up this year’s programme – a wide-ranging one that should have something to suit most people’s tastes.

The programme comprises twelve papers which range in topic from geological maps, through Antarctic exploration and geophysics to fossil vertebrates, early geological collections and the birth of plate tectonics. This promises to be an interesting and stimulating day.

The conference registration fee includes the programme (for approximate timings, see below), lunch, refreshments and abstracts of all presentations.
