Hi Everyone, Chris Nind asked me to also mention the Grav Mag luncheon that’s being held off-site, which explains why it isn’t in the SEG program – the details are below.
============= Gravity and Magnetics Luncheon Tuesday, September 17, 2019 | 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM Location: Casa Rio restaurant, 430 E Commerce St. Price : US$45. Speaker: Dr. Caroline Morley, Assistant Professor, Department of Astronomy, University of Texas at Austin Title: The Exotic Atmospheres of Faraway Worlds Tickets (Paypal): Click here to buy your Gravmag luncheon ticket<https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9EN8HD9WN6ZMG> Contact Luise Sander ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) if you have any problems purchasing your ticket. ============= Cheers, Jean From: SEGMIN [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jean M. Legault via SEGMIN Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2019 11:14 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Jean M. Legault Subject: [SEGMIN] News from AEGC 2019, reminders for SEG 2019 and SAGA 2019 Hi Everyone, In MG news, again wanted to mention the three big geophysical events on the schedule in Sept-October. First, just recently returned from AEGC 2019 (Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference) in Perth that ran from Sept 1-6 and was very successful, attracting as many as 1200 delegates, featuring 280 oral presentations in up to 9 parallel streams of Geoscience, as well as 80 posters presentations and attracted 80 separate exhibitors. The general mood was very positive, with an upward trend in exploration expenditures in Australia. Our thanks to our friends down under for organizing another excellent conference and for being great hosts. The technical content was quite high, as expected, with many quality papers presented in both the oral and poster sessions. Featured themes that stood out for me were the Machine Learning/AI and Magnetotellurics sessions. And, of course, many quality minerals case-histories that are the highlights of the conference, for me. Best minerals geophysics paper honours went to David Stannard et al. for their paper on “Update on the geophysical expression of the Abra sedimentary replacement Pb-Ag-Cu-Au deposit, Western Australia.” But there were many other great papers that were presented. In fact, I wanted to extend a special “shout-out” to Mike McMillan et al. for winning two awards including Best Cross-Disciplinary Minerals Paper for “Gold Prospectivity mapping using machine learning”; as well as also receiving the Laric Hawkins award for Innovative use of Technology for Geophysics for their paper on “Using machine learning to interpret 3D airborne inversion electromagnetic inversion”. Well done to Mike and his team. You can access all the AEGC papers using this link: https://2019.aegc.com.au/program/ -------------------------------- Secondly, for those of you who will be attending SEG 2019 in San Antonio next week, the following events (below) will certainly be of interest. I’ve arranged them in chronological order based on information that I was able to gather from the SEG website – my apologies for those that I may have missed. It looks like the events are nicely spread out from Monday to Thursday, so kudos to the organizers for this accomplishment. Just wanted to highlight our MG Committee Meeting on the Wednesday, September 18, from 5:30-6:30 PM Hope to see you there. As well, it’s also time to start thinking about 2020 in Houston, Texas and so we’ll soon be looking for suggestions for workshops, lunch speakers and a field trip, as usual. Please put your thinking caps on – we’ll certainly be coming back to this again in the upcoming months. In the meantime, here is a list of next week’s key events at SEG 2019: ============= Gravity and Magnetics Poster Session GM P1: Examples and Methods for Potential Fields Monday, September 16, 2019 | 1:50 PM – 4:20 PM Location: Poster Station 1 ============= Gravity and Magnetics Technical Session GM 1: Potential Fields Interpretation via Inversion and Modeling Tuesday, September 17, 2019 | 8:30 AM – 11:50 AM Location: 214D ============= Gravity and Magnetics Technical Session GM 2: Inversions in Potential Fields Interpretation Tuesday, September 17, 2019 | 1:50 PM – 5:10 PM Location: 214D ============= Mining Technical Session MG 1: New Methods and Developments Wednesday September 18, 0830 – 1150 Location: Room 301D ============= Mining Poster Session MG P1: New Methods and Case Histories Wednesday September 18 | 1350 – 1620 Location: Poster Station 10 ============= Mining Committee Meeting Wednesday, September 18 | 5:30-6:30 PM Location: Grand Hyatt Hotel Room Bowie A ============= Joint Gravity and Magnetics Committee & Mining Committee Workshop W-10: Misac Nabighian Memorial Workshop Thursday, September 19, 2019 | 8:30 AM-12:00 PM Location: 304B You can access the SEG technical program using this link: https://seg.org/Annual-Meeting-2019/Education/Technical-Program -------------------------------- Third and finally, just a last reminder that our friends at the South African Geophysical Association have organized SAGA 2019 that is being held from 7-9 October, 2019 at the Southern Sun Elangeni and Maharani Hotel in Durban. The technical program is not yet available but will no doubt be very strong. I noticed that the online registration portal is still open. It’s my first visit to Durban, I’m very much looking forward to attend and so encourage others amongst you to have a look.
