Talk Programme

Details of the talk programme for Autumn-Winter 2010 can be found below.

When and where does The Hutton Club takes place?

  • Friday afternoon at 4pm and usually lasts around an hour.
  • The Old Library, Institute of Geography, Drummond Street, Edinburgh (unless otherwise stated)

FB.init("521a999f1f5ccc1b5e8b7d0a6fe4fa4b");


FREE Refreshments are available at The Hutton Club, usually including a box of Stewert's Ale, Wine, Juice and snacks. Post-discussion drinks may occur at a local pub.

Everyone is very welcome.

The Hutton Club has linked the series to the EEO-AGI(S) seminars (a series covering a range of earth observation and GIS topics) to ensure that there will always be a single seminar (either Hutton or EEO-AGI(S)) every Friday afternoon. We shall also be running several 'joint' seminars which we hope will be of interest to both Hutton and EEO-AGI(S)audiences.
