Confirmation of Irish Environmental History Network Meeting, May 13th


I'm pleased to confirm that volcanic ash from the Icelandic eruption
does not look like interfering with our next meeting of the Irish
Environmental History Network, which will feature a talk by Dr. R.
Linden Kay of the UK's National Environmental Research Council (NERC),
on "Infrastructure for Collaborative Environmental Research". The talk
will take place this Thursday (the 13th) from 4pm in Trinity College,
Dublin, in the Arts Block, Floor 6, in the IIIS room.

All are welcome, and some more details about NERC and Linden's
interests can be found below.
