Marine Geoscience is the study of the geology and geophysics of the ocean. It includes the fields of marine sedimentology, palaeoceanography, studies involving the oceanic crust, and the geophysics of the ocean floor, mid-ocean ridges and shelf seas.
This meeting, named in honour of the great pioneer of palaeoceanography Sir Nicholas Shackleton (1937 - 2006), welcomes the UK's marine geoscience community with a series of invited keynote talks, submitted talks and posters from younger scientists.
The goal of the one-day meeting, as well as sharing some of the exciting science that is being created in this wide ranging field, is to start a discussion of how the MSG can best support the marine geoscience community.
The final schedule will be posted to this website on Friday 8 September.
