After two fantastic conferences (SAAG and SASQUA) hosted at the Gobabeb Training and Research Centre this September (2012) there was some formal and informal discussion about the future direction of research that involves Gobabeb - research both based at and through this excellent resource (in terms of infrastructure and personnel).

To this end, I hope that a blogpage such as this can serve as a useful forum for sharing information and ideas about current and future research that involves Gobabeb. Please do get involved! (it is easy to add you as an admin/author to the blog - for now contact Abi (abi.stone@gmail.com), but soon any of the authors who become involved should be able to add other authors)!

Many thanks to all at Gobabeb for their part in running these excellent academic meetings and also to Frank Ekhardt, Brian Chase and those they enlisted to help them.
