Welcome to the GSNZ conference 2020 – Christchurch 

Tēnā tātou katoa,

Welcome to the Geoscience Society of New Zealand annual conference to be held in Christchurch, 22-25 November 2020.  We are committed to running the conference as normally as possible within any remaining restrictions.  The conference will be held on campus at the University of Canterbury and will include oral and poster sessions, an evening public lecture or panel discussion, and field trips.  

Online presentations will be possible for presenters overseas, and in case of heightened restrictions at the time of the conference we will be able to switch to a virtual format.

We will also be organising the usual conference dinner, icebreaker, and numerous lunchtime breakout sessions, meetings, and workshops.  This will be an opportunity to meet with people, network, and will be a welcome chance to interact face to face.  

We are looking forward to seeing you in Christchurch.  Welcome all.

Kari Bassett, Conference Convenor 
James Scott, President, Geoscience Society of New Zealand
