Edinburgh awaits your participation at EAGE Near Surface Geoscience 2023

in data acquisition and processing, the need for technological developments, and resource and risk management.

It’s not long now until the opening of one of the most anticipated events in the field of near-surface geoscience. We are talking about EAGE’s Near Surface Geoscience Conference and Exhibition 2023 being held on 3-7 September in the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh.

The occasion promises to showcase cutting-edge technologies and practical applications in the realm of near-surface geoscience.

In addition, our vibrant exhibition offers a unique opportunity to witness innovation and discovery. Participants can engage with leading companies, explore cutting-edge products, services and technologies, and delve into the exciting world of near-surface geoscience.

It will all start with the opening session where an expert panel will discuss the path ahead for near-surface geophysics in the transition towards a net-zero future, one of the major challenges the world is facing. The panel will be composed of policy makers and leading experts in the fields of offshore energy/renewables, risk assessment, infrastructure and the environment. They will share their vision and expertise addressing challenges and opportunities

You can also hone your skills at the hands-on workshops focusing on practical applications. The workshop ‘Updated CIRIA Geophysical Standard’ will present the new standards for geophysical support of ground investigations, while the workshop ‘From AEM Data to 3D Hydrogeological Conceptual Model’ will touch base with the main principles behind groundwater mapping and hydrogeological conceptual modelling using airborne electromagnetics (AEM).

This event will also be a great moment to connect with several active groups among EAGE Communities, Local Chapters and Student Chapters in the area. Stop by the EAGE Community Hub to discover all the ways to get involved and make a difference: from chairing and reviewing, to mentoring, leading communities and more.

This year is our most comprehensive event ever featuring four parallel meetings: the 29th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics, the 3 rd Conference on Geophysics for Infrastructure Planning, Monitoring and BIM, the 2nd Conference on Hydrogeophysics, and the 1st Conference on Sub-surface Characterisation for Offshore Wind. The technical sessions embedded in these conferences cater for a wide spectrum of interests all in one venue. From near-surface geophysical exploration techniques to environmental monitoring solutions, from land use to infrastructure, from groundwater to offshore wind farms, there is surely something for everyone.

Students attending the event will have opportunities to get advice on effective ways to create a strong resume, as well as go on a tour to connect with exhibiting companies, learn about their latest projects and hear their advice for early careers entering the near-surface field. If you are curious about what your peers are up to, do not miss the poster session on 5 September, featuring a fantastic collaboration with BGA (British Geophysical Association) showcasing the best near-surface geophysics research from their post-graduate students.

Petroleum Geoscience (PG) transcends disciplinary boundaries and publishes a balanced mix of articles that drives the science to enhance sustainable development covering all aspects of the petroleum system. The journal content reflects the international nature of the research. A new edition (Volume 29, Issue 3) will be published in August, featuring 8 articles.

Near Surface Geophysics (NSG) publishes primary research on the science of geophysics as it applies to the exploration, evaluation and extraction of earth resources. Drawing heavily on contributions from researchers in the oil and mineral exploration industries, the journal has a very practical slant. A new edition (Volume 21, Issue 4) will be published within August, featuring 5 articles.
