Platform presentations

All presentations should be made using PowerPoint or Acrobat. PCs running Windows Vista and Acrobat Reader will be available in the lecture theatre. Please ensure that your presentation is saved onto the lecture theatre computer well in advance of your talk, and at the latest by the coffee break preceding your allotted time-slot. Please make every effort to ensure compatibility with Windows Powerpoint or Acrobat. Those who need to use their own laptop for their presentation may do so with advance consultation with the host committee

Posters

Posters will be on display in the Department of Earth Sciences, which is a short 5 minute walk from the Oxford University Museum on South Parks Road. We have scheduled a dedicated poster session on Friday afternoon, during which authors are expected to attend their posters.
