Geoheritage at the 34th IGC - Email Notice No. 2

To all colleagues,

This is the second of a numbered series of emails which will be used to provide information about the Symposia on Geoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism at the 34th IGC to be held in Brisbane, Australia, in August 2012.

This email announces that revised and more detailed information on the Symposia is now available on the new web site.

Information about field trips, available Geoheritage and field guides to Australia, other Geoheritage publications, and information on the UNESCO Kanawinka Global Geopark of Victoria and South Australia (also one of the IGC excursion areas) has been prepared, and will soon be posted on the website.

You are invited to forward this Email Notice No. 2 and following emails as widely as possible to colleagues and organisations who you believe may find them of interest.

For further information go to the web site:

which can also be accessed via:

This URL link has been submitted to the IGC and a link is now provided on its web site at:

http://www.34igc.org/scientific-themes-symposia.php#theme-1-geoscience-for-society

and we hope the same link will also be included in the next IGC Circular, No. 4.

This should substantially assist those considering enrolling by providing fuller details about the Geoheritage Symposia than can be provided in that Circular.

Please note that The IGC deadline for abstract submissions is 17th February 2012. Further details about submitting abstracts can be found at http://www.34igc.org/submit-abstracts.php

Best wishes to all interested in taking part in this major meeting.
