[Aqualist] This Thursday: The Palaeo Advancements on the East Coast (PAEC) seminars at the University of New South Wales

[Chris Turney]

Hi everyone,


Apologies for any cross-posting.


Just a quick reminder. The next double act for the *Palaeo Advancements on
the East Coast* seminar series is taking place this Thursday (the 16
February) at the University of New South Wales. A map for campus can be
found at http://fmtoolbox.unsw.edu.au/comms/KensingtonCampus.pdf. For those
of you driving, probably the best place to park is the top floor of
multi-storey car park (H25) which has paid spaces for visitors and can be
accessed via Gate 11 off Botany Street.


*Date: Thursday, 16 February 2017*

*Time: Commencing 3 pm *

*Venue: Central Lecture Block 2 (CLB2, Building E19), University of New
South Wales (Kensington Campus)*


*Seminar 1 by Associate Professor Scott Mooney (UNSW):* Palaeo-perspectives
on fire regimes in two regions of south-eastern Australia

*Seminar 2 by Dr Ed Cook (Director, Tree-Ring Laboratory, Lamont-Doherty
Earth Observatory, Columbia University): *The role of tree ring drought
atlases in climate change research: State of the art and future developments


This is a completely open event and we’d welcome anyone to attend. The
meetings are completely informal with plenty of tea and coffee. At the end
of the talks we’ll take a trip down to The White House (next to the Fig
Tree Theatre on the Kensington Campus; near Gate 4) and have drinks and a
cheap eat.


With many of us in the throes of Discovery grant writing, this should be a
great afternoon for taking a well earned break, catching up with friends
and sharing some ideas!


Hope to see you there.


All the very best,


Chris Turney (UNSW)

Tim Cohen (UoW)

Sylvia Frisia (Newcastle)

Damian Gore (Macquarie)

Monika Markowska and Pauline Treble (ANSTO)

Dan Penny (Sydney)

Greg Skilbeck (UTS)

I'd far rather be happy than right any day.*

Arthur Dent: *And are you?*

Slartibartfast: *No. Thats where it all falls down of course.*

Arthur Dent: *Pity. It sounded like quite a good lifestyle otherwise.*
