(ORAL AND POSTER)

 

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 1 AUGUST 2010

 

The main published outcome of this conference will be a CD of extended abstracts, to be provided to all participants in the conference.  The content will also be available on the internet after the conference, via the website of the Centre for Mountain Studies.

 

Your extended abstract should be no more than 800 words long (including references) and submitted in Microsoft Word to mountain.conf@perth.uhi.ac.uk no later than 1 August 2010.

 

Please name the file with your family name (surname) and put 'Abstract' in the subject of the e-mail.

 

All abstracts will be lightly edited for clarity of English; we will only send edited versions to authors before publication on the CD if there are substantive questions about content.

 

If necessary, the author(s) will be requested to make changes and submit a revised version.
