If you need still encouragement to attend geoENV2018 in Belfast here are 5 good reasons to come to geoENV2018:

1. geoENV has become established as a leading forum for Scientists across a broad range of disciplines to share their experiences on the application of geostatistics to environmental problems.
2. Keynote Speakers: Prof Peter Diggle, Lancaster University, Dr Oy Leuangthong, SRK Toronto, Canada and Dr Grégoire Mariéthoz, University of Lausanne, Switzerland and 2018 IAMG Distinguished Lecturer.
3. Two short courses offered:
Introductions to geostatistics using RGeostats by Didier Renard and Nicolas Desassis, Centre de Géosciences of Mines ParisTech, Paris
Introduction to Compositional data analysis by Vera Pawlowsky-Glahn, Juan José Egozcue and Eric Grunsky
4. Geological Survey Northern Ireland (GSNI) and Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) have collaborated with geoENV2018 to share the Tellus Survey data for a Special Session.
5. Game of Thrones: Optional field excursion: ‘Geology and the Games of Thrones’ with Geological Survey Northern Ireland (GSNI)

All authors have been notified of oral and poster abstract acceptance.

We are pleased to announce that geoENV 2018, the 12th International Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental Applications will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK from the 4th to 7th July 2018.

Since 1996, geoENV conferences have been held biennially at venues across Europe. From the first conference in Lisbon, the event has been staged in Valencia (1998), Avignon (2000), Barcelona (2002), Neuchâtel (2004), Rhodes (2006), Southampton (2008), Gent (2010), Valencia (2012), Paris (2014), Lisbon (2016) and has become established as a leading forum for Scientists across a broad range of disciplines to share their experiences on the application of geostatistics to environmental problems.
