BGS at INQUA 2019




The International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) is seeking to improve understanding of environmental change during the glacial ages, and apply research into the past to an evaluation of global environmental changes today. Each year, delegates from around the world gather for the INQUA congress to share their research and 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the event. 

This year the annual INQUA congress is held in Dublin, Ireland and will run from today until July 31. The British Geological Survey - including staff from the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (on stand 12) -  has a strong presence at the INQUA congress and will be taking part in oral and poster presentations and field trips, as well as taking time to catch up with colleagues old and new.

Below you’ll find a programme of INQUA events featuring BGS staff members which are open for all to attend. The full, official programme can be found here. If you see us around make sure to say hi and keep us updated on the conference by tagging us on Twitter and using the hashtag #INQUADUB2019.
