The School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at University College Cork is proud to host the 69th Irish Geoscience Research Meeting in 2026.
This annual event, widely known as the IGRM, showcases the diversity of cutting-edge geoscience research that is currently breaking new ground in Ireland – and across the world. The event website is now live: IGRM 2026 – Irish Geological Research Meeting UCC Cork Ireland
The schedule of events at IGRM 2026 kicks off on Friday February 27th with an icebreaker reception in the “Domain of the Dinosaurs” exhibition in the Glucksman Gallery followed by an evening Keynote Lecture by Professor Erin Saupe, Oxford University on “Determining the Correlates of Extinction on Long Time Scales”.
Two exciting days of talks and poster exhibitions will take place over the weekend, with bountiful opportunities to meet, greet and network among the attendees.
A second Keynote Lecture on Saturday evening, February 28th, by Dr Susanne Schwenzer, Open University on “The Geology of Mars” will be followed by the IGRM 2026 conference dinner, to which all attendees are invited.

IAEG Online Lecture Series 2026
2026-03-02 19:00 - 21:00 | Online Event
The David Hall Exploration Fund Student Mapping Project Presentations will take place on Monday 2nd March at 7pm.
Theertha Rajesh and Natalie Cole, both final year Geology students in UCD, will present their mapping projects.
Theertha’s final year mapping project will focus on the Villamanin region in north western Spain, an area within the Variscan fold and thrust belt associated with the Pyrenean-Cantabrian mountains. The primary aim is to understand the timing and nature of lithological deposition, particularly in the context of facies successions that reflect environmental and depositional changes through time.
The second major focus is on structural geology. Natalie’s mapping project will also focus on the Villaminin region in north western Spain. The primary goal is to understand the geological and tectonic development of the area including changes in depositional setting and any mineralisation that may have occurred.
The study will also investigate how these rocks have been influenced by the deformation associated with tectonic events, such as folding, faulting and volcanism. This lecture is open to all. Registration is open via the IAEG website IAEG – IAEG 2026 Lecture Series – David Hall Fund Students Mapping Project Presentations. Please register in plenty of time to ensure you receive an invite.
