Welcome to another issue of Ontrack. 

We have been saddened to hear of the death of Geoff Laslett, and our thoughts are with his family and many friends among this community at this time. 

This issue contains a number of articles and advertisements for the upcoming Thermo2010 meeting that will be held in Glasgow from the 16th-20th August 2010.  We hope to see you all at this meeting.  Registration is now open, and discounted "early bird" registration and the abstract submission deadline is 30th April 2010.  The organisers would appreciate it if you can register (pre-registration is also available) as soon as you can.  More information can be found on the conference website. The first circular for Thermo2010 - 12th International Conference in Thermochronology, is now available, and the second should be available shortly.  Please help publicise this meeting by telling colleagues, collaborators and students, and by putting copy of the first circular or one of the conference posters up in you laboratory or department.

Please remember that articles cane be uploaded at any time of the year and will be available online as soon as they have been sent to the web editor:  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  We will host short articles on any aspect of thermochronology, but need all copy to be submitted as a Word or other text document.  Thank you to everyone who has submitted something to Ontrack, but please keep all news, notices, job adverts and articles coming in.  Please remind all your post-graduate students that they can get some free advertising by sending us a copy of their project outline or their thesis abstract.  Reports on fieldwork, conferences and other events would also be gratefully received.
