With only a few weeks to go until the 35th IGC, many of the 4000 expected delegates will be selecting the sessions and symposia they would like to attend. Here are a selection that will be of interest to engineering and environmental geologists under the Core Topics of Geoscience in Society.

Geoscience in Society

• Forensic Soil Science and Geology: held in association with 5th International Conference on Criminal and Environmental Soil Forensics
• Challenges in Identifying and Characterising Seismogenic Faults in Non-Plate Boundary Settings
• Geohazards and societal benefits: coping with reality
• Managing Geohazards and Risks from space
• Risk evaluation and management in the 21st Century
• Subaerial and submarine landslide processes and hazards
• Coast and Society
• Environmental Aspects in the Mining Industry
• Geoscience for environmental management
• Man Made Strata and Geopollution
• Engineering Geology and Geomechanics (major theme with 12 symposia)
• Laboratory and field testing - innovations and new methods of interpretation
• Slope stability - analysis, investigation and remediation
• Soil and rock mechanics

There is much more that will be of interest to engineering and environmental geologists.  Visit the 35th IGC website here and click on the core topics, followed by the theme of interest.

From the theme page, a list of accepted abstracts and authors is available.  The scheduled times and venues of oral presentations and posters will be posted during July.  Please also check the website for information on the extensive exhibitors program.
