Run by our Marine Studies Group, the Shackleton Conference is a biennial one-day conference named after the great British palaeoceanographer Sir Nicholas Shackleton.
The fourth Shackleton Conference will take place at Burlington House, London, on 22 September 2025, with the topic 'Submerged Quaternary Landscapes'. The conference is a joint production between the Marine Studies Group and the Quaternary Research Association.
The day will feature posters, talks, prizes, lunch and a wine reception. Those who are unable to attend in-person can register to watch the conference online.
Travel and accommodation bursaries of up to £100 will be available to around 15 ECRs and students who register to attend the conference in person. These will be available on a first come first served basis (based on date of registration) to be applied for after the conference with supporting receipts etc. Claims must be reasonable (eg no first class travel!)
These bursaries are available thanks to a generous grant from the Geological Society.
