Regional University Lecture Series

The Regional University tour brings speakers from all over the UK and from Shell to universities throughout the UK under the auspices of the Geological Society Bicentenary. The lectures, which extend into 2008, are organised locally; but hosts are encouraged to make places available to students from neighbouring institutions in their region.

The lecture given by Rachel Wood at Royal Holloway will take part in the Universities Lyell Day, organised by Sophie Hallwood. Email Sophie for more information at: S.Hallwood@rhul.ac.uk.
