Definitely a group. Mainly palaeo. Not always Yorkshire.
Definitely a group. Mainly palaeo. Not always Yorkshire.
The Yorkshire Palaeo Group is an informal network of researchers interested in palaeoecology and palaeoenvironmental change based in Universities across northern England. Anyone interested in past environments is welcome to attend and there is no registration fee. We meet twice a year, sometimes in person and sometimes virtually.
We will meet next on the afternoon of April 23rd, 2025, hosted by the University of Salford (virtual meeting this time)
The meeting will be online only this time, and will be an afternoon of short presentations on anything palaeo - this can be sharing a conference talk with a different audience or practicing a talk, a friendly audience for a nervous speaker, presenting a project idea to get some feedback, or a talk to share pictures of your summer's fieldwork - whatever you'd like to share. For information or to offer a talk, please email Simon Hutchinson (S.M.Hutchinson@salford.ac.uk).
Details to be added closer to the meeting - joining the jiscmail (below) is the best way to stay informed, although we will also share all information via other palaeo-relevant mailing lists. In case of any problems with the list, or any questions etc., please email m.j.bunting@hull.ac.uk
You don’t have to be from / based in or talking about sites in Yorkshire!
