Awards will be presented at President’s Day, to be held this year on 13 June. On that day (full details in the May issue), as well as the Presidential Address, four senior medallists will deliver short research talks. Titles have yet to be confirmed, but indications are that Chris Hawkesworth (University of St Andrews) will speak on The generation and destruction of continental crust; Eric Wolff (British Antarctic Survey) on Ice cores and interglacials , Frank Spear (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) on Thirty years of metamorphic P-T-t paths: what we have learned about orogenesis, and William Aspinall (University of Bristol) on A restless volcano and restive volcanologists: uncertain judgements and uncertain risks.
All Fellows are welcome to attend the events of President’s Day, though Lunch with the Award Winners will incur a charge. Full details of this, and instructions as to how to register, will be published in the May Issue, which will be distributed together with the Annual Report 2011.
