> FYI > > > Bryan Lovell Meeting – Water, hazards and risk: managing uncertainty in a changing world > 24-25 November 2016, The Geological Society, Burlington House, London > > The Geological Society is pleased to announce the first of the Society’s new series of flagship conferences, the Bryan Lovell Meetings. > > This is a new style of interdisciplinary meeting aimed at bringing together expertise from a wide range of professions and specialisms to contribute to the understanding of societal challenges and how our science can help address them. This meeting brings together the Society’s chosen scientific themes for 2016 (Year of Water) and 2017 (Year of Risk) through a wide-ranging programme that will promote cross-fertilisation of ideas and information across traditional disciplinary boundaries. > > The meeting will focus on the geoscientific aspects of water and risk and how they intersect in the context of societal challenges such as environmental change and water-related geohazards, including flooding, tsunami, sinkholes and mudflows. It will also address human and economic impacts, communication, perception and awareness-raising around these issues, in the UK and globally. > > This meeting is designed to be open to interested people at all stages of their career so to achieve this we have set moderate pricing for registration.
