The Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) is holding CIMEE3, the Third Computers in Mining, Exploration and the Environment Symposium at the Parkroyal Hotel, Brisbane on October 15. The symposium is the third in this popular series that have highlighted new developments in the application of computer hardware and software in geoscientific applications, spanning all fields in which geologists and geophysicists are engaged. A key feature of these symposia has been the participation of geoscientists from both within and outside the mining industry, reflecting AIG�s diverse membership base, which has promoted cross-fertilisation of ideas and the innovative application of computing technologies. The theme of CIMEE3 is intended to highlight the rapid advances of the past two years in the fields of data management and communication, especially with the Internet being increasingly used to obtain a wide range of geoscientific information, or as a means of maintaining effective communications between members of project teams working at different locations. An exhibition will be held in conjunction with the symposium, providing computer hardware, software and communications companies to showcase products of interest to geoscientists employed in mining and other industries. Papers and poster presentations are invited on any aspect of the use of computers in geosciences consistent with the symposium's theme. Abstracts should be submitted by 1st July 1999, and final papers by 1 September 1999. All papers will be considered for publication in AIG Journal, AIG's new technical publication covering applied geoscientific practice in Australia. Further informationn regarding the symposium is available from the Queensland Branch of AIG - contact Harvey Ryan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or AIG's web site (www.aig.asn.au). AIG is a non-profit professional association representing geoscientists employed in all aspects of industry, government and education throughout Australia.
