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.


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.

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. A further charge will be made for commercial exhibitors. Pre-registration and payment (to The Geological Society) is preferred, the deadline for registrations is 30 november 2010. Please complete the registration form below.
