abstract: Recent advances in non-seismic technologies and the emerging need to characterise subsurface systems have led to increasing interest in and applications of electromagnetic, gravity, magnetics, remote sensing and other non-seismic methods. Various groups have applied non-seismic techniques with noticeable success to applications in both exploration and production. Thus, it is time to review current methods and explore new directions for the future (e.g., magnetic gradiometry, gravity gradiometry, borehole gravimetry, microelectromechanical (MEMS) sensors, permanent sensors, etc).

The goal of this EAGE workshop is to bring together key experts from research institutions, oil companies, contractors and government agencies to share and discuss experiences from their implementation of ‘non-seismic methods’. We hope to define the future needs within the area of ‘non-seismic methods’ by mutually discussing and learning about the future challenges with each other.

The workshop will focus on integrated applications of non-seismic technologies and how they relate to exploration and production challenges in the Middle East.

abstract: The workshop is dedicated to the exploration of our current understanding of processes related to the formation and the behaviour of collapse calderas. Following up on the 2005 calderas workshop held in Tenerife (Spain), the new workshop provides a continuation of community efforts towards increasing our understanding of caldera volcanism. The 2008 workshop will have a focus on geological aspects of caldera studies but at the same time aims at integrating other disciplines such as geophysics, magma physics, hazard assessment, risk mitigation, economic prospecting and exploration as well as mathematical and analogue modelling. As in 2005, the fundamental spirit of the workshop is to provide a cross-boundary interdisciplinary platform for discussion and knowledge disssimination.

abstract: The National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) is one of the oldest scientific institutions in the region. It was founded in Boulac-Cairo in 1839 as an Astronomical Observatory. In 1865, it was transferred to Abbassia - Cairo. Finally, it was moved to its current location at Helwan in 1903. From that time up till now and along this time span of more than century NRIAG has witnessed large developments and expansion phases in several disciplines such as Astronomy, Space research, Solar Research, Seismology, Geomagnetism, Geoelectric, Geothermal, Gravimetry, Geodesy, Geodynamics, and recently Crustal Movements. Nowadays NRIAG plays an important application role in the national development plan of Egypt.

abstract: The chemistry of the Earth records detailed information about the way in which the Earth formed, reacted and changed to form the planet that we live on today. The secrets of planetary formation and clues about the evolution of life have always held a basic societal fascination. Topically, understanding the Earth's chemistry is essential in uncovering how the mineral and biological world interact, discovering new mineral and energy resources, finding safe drinking water supplies, understanding how and why climate is changing, and developing technologies to mitigate some of the damage that man has done to the planet.

'Our Volatile Planet' represents a topic central to all of these themes. Volatile elements and compounds, such as water, are those which have a tendency to exist in a vapour or gas phase, to boil or dissipate. Water is essential for life, controls planetary scale processes of subduction, earthquakes and even volcanic outpourings. Water forms beautiful mineral formations, transports the suns energy from the equator to the Polar Regions and, when polluted, kills. Our society is also volatile. Wars are fought over mineral resources, cities devastated by Earthquakes, and drought caused by changes in climate. Providing knowledge of Earths complex systems is essential if we are to balance society's needs with the available resources, changing climate and many and diverse, but fragile, ecosystems.

Goldschmidt 2009 brings together over 2000 of the worlds international experts in the chemistry of the Earth to present and debate breaking new work across these topics. It will be held in the Congress Center in Davos. This was the venue for the very successful 2002 meeting, and the Congress Center has now been enlarged in part to be able to accommodate conferences as large as ours.

abstract: It is with great pleasure that the IAG Council announces the selection of the bid from the South African Spectroscopy Society to host the Geoanalysis 2009 meeting. What will be the 7th in the series of Geoanalysis conferences is to be held in September 2009 at a venue in the 3000 meter high Drakensberg Mountains of KwaZulu-Natal Province. Located at a distance of some 3 to 4 hours from Johannesburg, the Drakensberg Region has some of the most spectacular scenery in South Africa and has a well developed tradition of hosting national and international conferences at modern resort venues. The climate of Drakensberg during September is characterized by sunny days with cool to cold nights where rare late spring snow on the adjacent mountains can provide magnificent scenery.

Along side of the core themes of the Geoanalysis conference series, the 2009 meeting will also highlight topics of particular importance to the host country: the production of precious metals, assessments of economic ore reserves and the environmental issues being addressed by the mining industry. The Organising Committee for the conference is representative of organisations and professional societies from across the South African earth science community. During the coming months this website will be updated with more precise arrangement details.
