This is a hybrid event, which can be attended in person, or online via Zoom.
Event details
'Life and Planet' is the new annual meeting of the Earth System Science Group of the Geological Society of London, which will take place at the historic Burlington House venue in Piccadilly. The meeting aims to be an exciting, inclusive and supportive yearly event, where anybody interested in the co-evolution of life and the Earth can present their work, can build collaborations, and can grow the community.
The meeting will run over three days and will consist of talks and workshops in the 172-seater main lecture theatre, and poster sessions and social and collaborative time in the lower library.
The Earth System Science Group is dedicated to promoting the work of early career researchers and, as such, the meeting will have free abstract submission, low registration fees and will feature selected 'highlight' talks from our submissions, rather than invited talks from senior colleagues. The group hopes that attendance will comprise researchers at all career stages as well as other interested parties and individuals.
Scientific focus and sessions:
The theme of co-evolution is broad and cross-disciplinary, and work is welcomed that spans the fields of (in no particular order) palaeontology, (bio)geochemistry, sedimentology, geobiology, palaeoclimate, geodynamics, tectonics, astrobiology and any scientific work that aims to understand how life has shaped the global environment and/or how the global environment has shaped life on Earth.
Equally, work is welcomed from the field, the laboratory or from numerical simulation.
