Postgraduate Research in Marine and Earth Science Conference (PRMES) 2013 Event
Event details
This is an Opportunity for new postgraduate students and early career researchers to present projects and ideas to their own peer-group in a supportive and sympathetic atmosphere.
PRMES 13 is the ideal opportunity to practice presentations and poster production, from newly started projects to full results of research. We particularly welcome cross-discipline interaction and networking within the Marine and Earth Sciences. Come and make new contacts and friends from across the marine science community and see what others are doing and how this could assist your research.
Ph.D. supervisors: pre-register any new (2013) Ph.D. students - simply send a brief project description as the abstract. An ideal way for new students to network beyond their immediate field.
Whether your science is microbial activity or ocean-wide hydrodynamics (or something on a scale in between) it is hoped that everyone can get an insight into many different lead-edge science projects. Broadening one's horizons can be as important as seeing the fine detail on one's own work.
Cash prizes for both best posters and best presentation, together with citations/photographs to be published in Geoscientist.
Abstracts
Abstracts to be submitted to Dr T. Le Bas (tlb@noc.ac.uk) by 1 October 2013.
