There will be a Millennium-issue of Sedimentology. In 1999, Prof HG Reading will undertake a lecture tour. However, we also want to encourage young sedimentologists from countries where research possibilities are less well established, and where funding is lacking. We do this through our friendship scheme and by paying travel expenses to international congresses and field workshops. Funding IAS is funded by membership fees.
All officers work for free, and there are no permanent staff or formal headquarters.
