Dear fellow Locators,

All my best wishes for a hopefully more peaceful 2024. Below is my January entry of references, some from 2024 and many more of 2023. Bibtex in attachment. In the next months, on top of the new references that came in, I will slowly work backwards in time towards 2013 where I stopped sending my collections around. That will take time, however, in view of the extraordinary amount of location related papers being published. Keep the good works up! Sincerely Frank Plastria
