NSGG Postgraduate Research Symposium 2018
Date: Monday 16th July 2018
Venue: School of
Earth and Environment, University of Leeds
Registration fe

The Near Surface Geophysics Group (NSGG) invites submissi
ons from postgraduate students for our 2018 Postgraduate Research Symposium
. The event is hosted in the School of Earth and Environment at the Univers
ity of Leeds, by the School’s Institute of Applied Geosciences.<
br />The NSGG is a special interest group of The Geological Society, with a
remit of advancing, encouraging and supporting the study and practice of n
ear-surface geophysics throughout the industrial and academic sectors. Our
postgraduate symposia offer students of near-surface geophysics the opportu
nity to present their research to their peer group, plus a network of acade
mic and industrial practitioners, in a relaxed and supportive environment.<
br />
We solicit abstracts from postgraduate students working in any a
spect of near-surface geophysics, including environmental investigations, e
ngineering, archaeology, forensic science, mineral exploration and geologic
al processes. To mark the Geological Society’s “Year of Resources”
, we will hold a special session featuring near-surface geophysical methods
as applied to the characterisation of subsurface resources (e.g., energy,
minerals, water) and their sustainable development (e.g., waste disposal, t
ime-lapse monitoring).
The deadline for the submission of a 500-
word abstract, plus 1 optional figure, is 17:00 on Friday 1st June
2018. Abstracts should be emailed to Dr Adam Booth (This email address is being protected fr
om spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.); a preference for o
ral (15+5 mins) presentation will be assumed unless poster format is reques
ted. All presenters will be considered for the NSGG Best Presentation Award
.
Delegates are required to register in advance, but payment can
be taken on the day. Your registration fee includes lunch and refreshments
, generously sponsored by Geomatrix Earth Science Ltd, and a post-symposium
reception at the end of the day. We look forward to welcoming you to Leeds
!
