Sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Mathematics of Planet Earth. Climate change, biodiversity, infectious diseases, sustainability, energy, food, and water are among the areas of greatest global concern. The SIAM Activity Group on Mathematics of Planet Earth (SIAG/MPE) provides a forum for mathematicians and computational scientists engaged in these critical priority areas.

The interests of SIAG/MPE span the range from developing quantitative techniques to providing policy makers with tools for qualitative decision support. Tremendous growth in data volume and complexity of data returned from planetary exploration coupled with new and emerging data science technologies are changing planetary science. From better calibrations to enhanced modelling to new methods for data management and discovery, informatics and data analytics are an increasingly important part of understanding and processing data from planetary missions.

As a result, it is becoming increasingly important for the planetary science and data science communities to work together to research and develop applications of these technologies to support upcoming mission and science needs. The PSIDA conference provides a forum to discuss approaches, challenges, applications of informatics and data analytics technologies and capabilities in planetary science.

This course will bring together early career researchers in the fields of geology, planetary science, micro- and molecular biology for an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of Geobiology. Participants will be introduced to a collaborative environment and the course will facilitate interaction between researchers in multiple fields who would otherwise have a limited opportunity to exchange ideas. One of the core objectives will be knowledge translation and mobilization. The principal themes include methods in field geobiology, integrating geochemical and biological data, interpretation across scales, nucleic acid extraction from rock samples, differences in resolution between field and laboratory data sets, and the importance of geobiology to astrobiology and origin of life studies. Participants will have the opportunity to conduct field research at the Ries impact structure to put into practice lessons learned regarding geobiology field work. This field excursion is a geobiological field trip to an impact structure and will be led by internationally renowned experts in impact cratering.

Participants will come away with the ability to plan and conduct molecular biology research in rock-hosted microbial systems. For its 26th edition, the European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics will continue to build on 26 years of research and development in the field of engineering geophysic. Being Europe’s most significant meeting of its kind, the 26th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics offers participants the opportunity to meet the people behind the most cutting-edge research across a range of topics, from the applications of geophysics to the emergence of new technologies and research trends.

Take part in the bright future of environmental and engineering geophysics, and join us in Belgrade, Serbia. The safe assessment of site conditions for all types of marine installations and infrastructure requires a detailed understanding of the shallow subsurface and the changes therein over the lifetime of the areas of interest. This essential objective can only be achieved through the extensive use of complementary geophysical methods and monitoring approaches, as well as a proper, data-driven integration of geotechnical, geomechanical, metocean and geophysical data and models. The 4th conference will cover the widest range of topics of applied high-resolution geophysics in all types of aquatic settings. Every two years, the ECMOR conference gathers applied mathematicians and geoscience engineers from both academia and industry to focus on recent advances in geological and reservoir modelling. The ECMOR conferences started in Cambridge over 30 years ago and through a sequence of meetings in major European centres, continue a tradition of combining high-quality mathematical science with engineering applications. Researchers and engineers from industry, government and academia meet in an informal atmosphere to focus on key technical and mathematical challenges facing the oil industry.

With ever increasing energy demand and related climate change implications, the development of sustainable energy systems based on integrated schemes of energy production, transport, transfer, and storage is an important challenge to society. The broad and emerging area of Energy Geotechnics has the potential to address this challenge from multiple perspectives. Energy Geotechnics integrates concepts from geotechnical engineering and geomechanics with cross-disciplinary collaborations with geology, hydrology, geophysics, geochemistry, petroleum engineering, and energy policy. The First EAGE Conference on Seismic Inversion will be an event of interest to geoscientists working in many roles in industry and academia.

Seismic inversion is a key process used extensively in exploration, production and geohazard studies. Inversion provides a way to visualize and analyze data at higher resolution than standard seismic, it facilitates better estimations of reservoir properties and acts as a link between rock physics and seismically interpreted structure models, ultimately improving the interpretation efficiency. The latest advances, innovative technologies that solve difficult and complex problems will be presented as well as case studies and practical applications demonstrating the recent and established inversion methods. Join us for our 45th Annual Conference on Deep Foundations where you will network with the largest gathering of practitioners specializing in the deep foundation industry; attend special lectures featuring our world-renowned keynote speakers; learn about innovations in design, construction and delivery of deep foundations; become updated on design, construction, QC/QA and risk assessment/management; hear about DFI’s global initiatives and research to promote foundation safety, quality, durability and sustainability. There will also be an Exhibit Hall featuring 150 companies. EAGE and SPE invite scientists and researchers to congregate in Abu Dhabi for a Geomechanics Workshop to be held in October 2020.

As in the three previous workshops, which were held in Abu Dhabi in 2014, 2016 and 2018, it will bring together leading researchers and scientists to discuss new developments in geomechanics and interesting field studies.There is always a strong attendance from the Gulf countries and the workshop is a prime opportunity to assess the state of-the-art when applying geomechanics to fields in the Middle East. However, contributions are encouraged from allover the world, especially those that shed light on new and innovative topics. This Forum will include a mid-term review of the ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships, voluntary contribution to the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 and the Agenda 2030 – Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Participants of the Fourth World Landslide Forum adopted the 2017 Ljubljana Declaration on Landslide Risk Reduction – contributing to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The Declaration proposes the Kyoto 2020 Commitment for Global Promotion of Understanding and Reducing Landslide Disaster Risk to be finalized during the preparatory activities for WLF5 and adopted during WLF5 in order to serve this purpose. The Commitment aims to establish in the medium and long term a global alliance that will accelerate and incentivize action for landslide risk reduction.

It is an opportune time to interact with the scientific community, with sessions covering all aspects of geology and allied sciences. There will be 12 plenary speakers and 40+ parallel sessions. Popularly described as the Olympics of Geosciences, the event is being jointly funded by the Ministry of Mines and the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India and supported by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) along with the science academies of neighboring countries - Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Geological Survey of India is the nodal agency for organizing the event. It is a matter of pride that India is the only Asian country to host the Congress twice. The event is expected to be attended by nearly 6000 delegates from across the world. Like many other stars and planets, the Earth and the Sun possess magnetic fields built by dynamo action. Unlike the magnetism of most other astrophysical objects, though, the Solar and terrestrial fields have been closely studied for generations, yielding a wide variety of observational constraints that continue to challenge theory and defy prediction. Both analytical theory and numerical simulations have cumulatively yielded significant insight into how both objects build their magnetism, but a comprehensive understanding of this process has remained elusive.

This meeting will aim to scrutinise and assess the results of such modelling efforts by comparison to the vast and ongoing array of observations of both the Earth and the Sun. The Department of Geosciences of the University of Malta is pleased to invite engineers, geologists, archeologists and practitioners to the 11th International Workshop on Advanced Ground Penetrating Radar that will be held from 13th to 17th June 2021in Valletta, Malta.

The three-day workshop is aimed at exploring advancements in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) techniques and applications.The Assembly is primarily a meeting ground for academics and researchers working in the field of ground penetrating radar and related applications, including applied and social aspects, such as issue associated to hazard and risk, cultural heritage, engineering, education and awareness.
