Right, I’m off to Cape Town for an action-packed few days. First, Christie<\/a> has persuaded me to give a talk at her home University<\/a>, hopefully followed by a beer or seven – after being beaten over the head with paleomagnetic terminology, my audience will almost certainly need it.
\nOver the weekend, I’ll have the chance to do some sightseeing, which will hopefully include a view from Table Mountain, although the weather might scupper that. Then, from Monday to Wednesday, I’m attending the AAPG International Conference<\/a>. By a convoluted route I’ve ended up with a poster to present in Wednesday afternoon’s ‘Advances in Gravity and Magnetics’ session. There’s a few other interesting-looking sessions in between, including a session<\/a> devoted to everyone’s favorite mud volcano<\/a>, where the “man-made” and “earthquake triggered” camps will face off against each other and turn the air mildly turquiose with cutting remarks.
