Dear NORDQUA colleagues,
1. Winter 2025 Secretariat Update
We have had a few big changes in the NORDQUA secretariat over the last year. We would like to take this opportunity to send an enormous thank you to Anna Hughes who has been our fearless leader for the last 6+ years. Anna has helped to invigorate the communication within the Nordic geological community and has taken her precious time to help build this network. Anna, your dedication and care for this organization has been invaluable and you leave us some very big shoes to fill. Thank you!!!
2. Excursion 2025 Announcement: Poland!
We are extremely pleased to announce that the next NORDQUA excursion will take place in northern Poland from the 17th to 19th of September 2025. Please save the date!

This trip is led by Karol Tylmann and colleagues from University of Gdańsk.
