Last week (1-3 March), Geographers from the Discipline of Geography, University of Galway, Dr Gordon Bromley and Dr Martin Nauton co-hosted with our Earth & Ocean Sciences colleagues the 67^th Irish Geoscience Research Meeting (IGRM), an all-island congress for all things geoscience. We had a full house for two days of talks and posters, including keynotes by our colleagues Kathryn Fitzsimmons (U. Tubingen) and John Walsh (UCD) and prizes for best student talks/posters.
