For example, all abstracts in the various PET Petrology sessions are found within the PET section of the abstract volume, and alphabetically by author therein. This is to ease searching for abstracts while sitting within a given theme session. Welcome to Sweden! Welcome to Lund! It is with great excitement and pleasure that we welcome you to Skåne in southern Sweden for the 31st Nordic Geological Winter Meeting! The Geologiska Föreningen is very proud to be able to organize this meeting, which has become a strong tradition in our Nordic countries and, judging by the content of this year’s presentations, continues to provide an important and highly valued venue for presenting research, making connections, and meeting old and new friends. We hope that we all have a fulfilling three days of high-level scientific discussions, The oral talks, held in 6 rooms in parallel sessions, run the entire gamut of the field of geology, although with a very special Scandinavian stamp. We also are glad to welcome into the ‘midst’ of this conference, Lundadagarna, an annual conference held at Lund University specializing in paleontology, historical geology, sedimentology and stratigraphy: this year Lundadagarna is given as part of the NGWM. Sweden’s Geologiska Föreningen and its scientific journal GFF has traditionally focused the many fields of geology into three main areas, and these three are represented in our plenary talks this year. Ólafur Ingólfsson will represent Quaternary and glacial geology with a presentation on Icelan- dic surging glaciers on Wednesday. Uwe Ring, reflecting the area of crystalline bedrock, will present on Thursday on mantle and crustal links. And on Friday, Mary Higby Schweitzer will represent pa- leontology and historical geology with a presentation on her research in preserved dinosaur tissue. We are also excited to be able to give out for the second time, the Nordic Geoscientist Award. Håkon Fossen, structural geologist from Bergen, Norway won the very first award that was given out in Reykjavik at the 30th NGWM in 2012. This year’s winner will be announced at the banquet on Thursday evening. The winner will give a plenary talk at 13:00 on Friday. The organization of a meeting like this requires more than a year of preparation, a task that many people are involved in. We would like to thank the Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) for put- ting together an ambitious program, the conveners for promoting exciting sessions, the plenary lecturers for their contribution, and not least the many sponsors who have made this event possible. We also want to thank Qi Media, Jönköping, and Gert Pettersson, Lund, for building and maintai- ning the 31st NGWM web site, and Creative Support, Göteborg, for producing this abstract volume. We hope that the 31st Nordic Geological Winter Meeting will be fruitful and lead to better and deeper insight into the different fields of geosciences, and stimulate further Nordic collaboration.
