Welcome to the School of Earth Sciences

The University of Melbourne School of Earth Sciences is proud to present VUEESC 2010!

The 24th Victorian Universities Earth and Environmental Sciences Conference will be held on November 5th in the Fritz Loewe theatre in the McCoy Building at the University of Melbourne Parkville campus (see map ref. E 23). The VUEESC is an annual event that allows Honours, Masters and Ph.D. students to present their research to the local scientific community; to gain experience in communicating their research findings through oral and poster presentations; to promote their talents to future employers; to discover areas of research at other universities and, above all, to meet new people in the Earth Sciences field.

The theme of the conference will be broad to accommodate all aspects of Environmental and Earth Sciences such as:

atmospheric and oceanic sciences
environmental sciences and hydrogeology
sedimentology and palæontology
geomorphology and palæogeography
igneous and metamorphic petrology
tectonics and structural geology
geophysics and physical volcanology
economic geology and geochemistry.

Please note that these themes do not represent the titles of sessions that will be held on the day. Session titles will be decided after review of the abstracts submitted.

Abstracts for poster and oral presentations are invited from Honours, Masters and Ph.D. students from all universities in Australia. Students visiting Australia are also welcome to submit an abstract.
