[Aqualist] Quaternary Techniques short course, 16-17 May 2013

[Christine Prior]

Quaternary Techniques Short Course, Lower Hutt, New Zealand

GNS Science is holding its Tenth annual Quaternary Techniques short course 
- Measuring change and reconstructing past environments, on Thursday and 
Friday, 16-17 May 2013.  We are accepting registrations up until May 10.

This course is intended for students and researchers in all areas of earth 
and environmental sciences who may wish to have a good general 
introduction into the various techniques used to measure and reconstruct 
past environments. This course is not intended to duplicate university 
classes, but to offer a concentrated two day workshop in specialised 
techniques presented by experts in their own fields of research.  As 
described in the December 2012 issue of  Quaternary Australasia, the 
course consists of a mix of lectures and lab tours show casing a diverse 
range of isotope, geological and geochemical paleoenvironmental 
reconstruction and chronological techniques, as well as lab 
demonstrations. 

As in previous years, we are trying to keep the workshop affordable for 
everyone, especially students, so the registration fee is still only 
NZ$100 for students (or NZ$180 for others) for the two day workshop. This 
price will include morning and afternoon teas, lunches, dinner, and a 
handbook of course materials.

The registration form and further information can be found on the QT Short 
Course web page:  http://www.gns.cri.nz/qtshortcourse
