EAGE NEWS
Young Professionals’ special session at the 84th EAGE Annual: Career Diversity Within and Beyond Geoscience. It was an interesting session in which the skills that might be useful in future careers, as well as how the careers can look like with the skills on hand, were addressed through the lens of various disciplines. Yuriy Ivanov, chair of the Young Professionals community explained that ‘the motivation behind the session was to emphasise that geoscience is a multi-disciplinary field that addresses a variety of problems and challenges. It is important that young professionals at early stages of their careers don’t lock themselves into a narrow subject by selecting a certain area, but have access to exciting opportunities by capitalising on the multi-disciplinarity of what we do.’ One participant at the session, Juan Manuel Jiménez, an undergraduate geology student, said that attending the Young Professionals session was an enriching experience. ‘Engaging with industry professionals and fellow young geoscientists broadened my horizons and fostered meaningful connections. This session highlighted the vast opportunities available and inspired me to explore diverse career paths within geoscience.’ In your early career, there are plenty of opportunities to shape and enrich your professional journey through EAGE. Take advantage of them all. If you are also interested in supporting your fellow colleagues, the Young Professionals committee is looking for new members.

Chile to host a workshop on mining in the energy transition era
Our workshop will feature the latest trends in resource exploration and the role of mining in energy transition.
Mining faces many challenges as a crucial industry for world development complicated by the complexities of the global economy, demand for decarbonisation and various socio-environmental issues. Our Third EAGE Workshop on Mineral Exploration in Latin America, in Santiago, Chile, on 9-10 November, will continue the quest to find answers. It will bring together mining companies, prospectors, government agencies, academics, and mineral exploration service providers (contractors, equipment manufacturers, and software providers), to discuss local and global trends in resource exploration, as well as the role of mining in the energy transition. The workshop will also provide insight into how Latin American governments are investing in geoscientific data and generating policies to promote the exploration of critical minerals, in addition to how exploration companies use cutting-edge technology and software to increase the chance of discovering mineral deposits in the future.
Attendees will also hear a keynote presentation from Richard Inglis, chief geoscientist at Newmont, with over 30 years of experience in exploration and mining around the globe. This is an event not to miss if it is in your field, so be sure to book your place.
Santiago, Chile, is ready to welcome you next November.
