In-person: NSRG and FORCE presents Shallow sedimentology and implications for offshore infrastructure and renewable industries seminar

The shallow focus is a different view from often is the focus in oil and gas, and we hope that the sed+strat community can broaden its knowledge and experience. The seminar will also be a great event for networking between students, researchers and industry (oil and gas, and renewables) – a great event to learn and to catch up before Christmas.
