QuarryScapes third workshop was recently held in Aswan, Egypt. Approximately 40 participants from 7 countries spent five days shared between a symposium at the Basma Hotel and field trips to case study areas in the region. Programme and abstracts from the workshop can be downloaded here. Deliverable No. 7, 9 and 10 were approved by the consortium and can be downloaded from the publications section.
