Subject: Two day meetings: Archaeological Geophysics and Environmental Forensics, London
On Behalf of: Paul Linford and Louise Martin
Two day meetings: Archaeological Geophysics and Environmental Forensics
Venue: Geological Society of London, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London
Dates: 15th and 16th December 2010
15 DECEMBER 2010: RECENT WORK IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL GEOPHYSICS Shallow geophysical techniques are now a well established tool for the evaluation of archaeological sites, from their initial discovery to subsequent interpretation and management. This will be the ninth in a succession of biennial meetings in which contributors present and debate the results of recent research and case studies. Suppliers of equipment and software also attend and the meeting therefore represents an invaluable opportunity for both archaeological and geophysical practitioners and those in academia to take advantage of recent research and developments.
For more information or to submit an abstract, please contact: Paul Linford (mailto:[log in to unmask])
16 DECEMBER 2010: ENVIRONMENTAL FORENSICS This multidisciplinary meeting will capture shared interests between the geological, environmental science, engineering, geotechnical, mining and archaeological communities in assessing the impact of changes to the environment that may result in legal proceedings. Sessions will include geophysics, remote sensing, geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, isotope geochemistry.
For more information or to submit an abstract, please contact: Dr Duncan Pirrie (mailto:[log in to unmask]) or Dr Alastair Ruffell

It is anticipated that each meeting will attract 100 or more participants. As well as oral presentations, there will be space for commercial and poster displays.

Attendance will be free to members of the Geological Society. Non-members will be asked to pay £25 to attend a single day or £40 for both days.
Registered students can attend for £15 or £20, respectively.
