Here in Portsmouth we're hosting the International Association for
Mathematical Geology Annual Conference next year. The main
theme concerns geo-hazards and as this includes seismic and neo-
tectonic hazards it may be of interest to some list members. Further
details are available from the web site http//:www.iamg2003.com.

Annual Conference of the International
Association for Mathematical Geology
September 7 - 12, 2003
Portsmouth, UK
Hosted by the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences,
University of Portsmouth.
IAMG2003 will highlight the analysis, modelling and simulation of
geological hazards whilst also providing a programme of symposia
of sufficient breadth to attract state-of-the-art contributions from
across the full range of mathematical geology. Across the world,
activity and funding in the field of geological hazards has increased
dramatically in recent years. We believe it timely that an international
conference should highlight the ubiquitous rôle played by
mathematical geology in the effective identification, remediation and
management of geological hazards.
Contributions, both oral and poster, are invited for all symposia, as
are suggestions for further topics.
Proposed symposia
S1. Predictive modelling of volcanic hazards
S2. Predictive modelling of glacial hazards
S3. Predictive modelling of geotechnical hazards
S4. Predictive modelling of earthquake and seismic hazards
S5. Predictive modelling of landslide hazards
S6. Stochastic modelling
S7. Stochastic modelling in geotechnics
S8. Geoscience information systems
S9. Geoscience risk analysis
S10. Application of remote sensing and GIS
S11. Geostatistical estimation and simulation
S12. Computer applications and software development
S13. Environmental modelling (inc. climate change)
S14. Petroleum geoscience
S15. Water
S16. Mining
S17. History of mathematical geology
Proposed workshops
W1. Quantitative risk assessment techniques
W2. Quantitative terrain evaluation and landslide risk assessment
W3. Contaminated land health risk assessment
W4. Remote sensing for geohazard assessment
W5. Probabilistic modelling
W6. Geostatistical techniques
