Earlybird Registrations for the 11th Congress of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment, IAEG2010 close 30 June!
Engineering geology now extends into a host of linked fields: disaster risk management and climate change, preservation of lifelines, geophysics, interpretation of satellite imagery, communication, instrumentation, mining, tunnelling, groundwater, rehabilitation and brown-field development, wine, recyclable materials, ethics, and education. Communication with non-specialists and developing ‘green’ solutions has never been more important and the industry is evolving tools and emerging ideas to more appropriately achieve this. This Congress brings together engineering, science and practice to focus on the very real effects of active geological processes on communities and infrastructure and their development.
Includes some 570 papers, including 20 keynote and invited speakers from 46 countries.
Register Now!

It is now just 15 days until the close of super earlybird registrations for the Congress. Have you registered?
There has been a HUGE response to the call for papers, with almost 600 papers received.
With this level of participation, the Congress is destined to be an event not to be missed.
The Congress will bring together a unique mix of leading international practitioners in the engineering geology, geotechnical and risk management fields. The themes of IAEG2010 investigate the continuum between engineering geology and geotechnical engineering and its application, bridging the gap between theory and practise, changing the lives of real people around the world.
Listen to and discuss state-of-the-art practice in these fields, upskill on the latest research and its applications, and learn from application of different practices in international case studies.
Don’t forget, the cheaper earlybird registration closes on 31 March. Saving you $400 NZD on the full registration cost, the super earlybird is well worth it!

2010 is finally on us. My name is Kate and I am the young professionals coordinator for the Congress. I will be writing a blog through to the start of the IAEG Congress in Sept 2010. There will be Congress updates and also interesting geological/ engineering news on the way! I will also be adding some background information on the mid and post field trips which are also available as part of the Congress activities.
Don’t forget, congress papers are due 7 February and registrations are open with super early-bird to the 31 March, saving NZ$400 on full fees!
Those that may be under financial hardship can apply for the Solidarity Fund. Applications close 31 March.
YPs should also register for the YP programme at the bottom of the online registration form.
On 5 September, before the Congress begins, the YP programme is focused on young professionals and student engineering geologists, it includes
- Breakfast with adventurer Jamie Fitzgerald: World-record trans-Atlantic rower, South Pole adventurer, international speaker, business owner and ex-bank manager
- Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea provided
- Richard Wolters Prize Presentations
- Match Racing in America’s Cup Yachts
If there is anything that you would like to see/ discuss in particular please comment and I’ll see what I can do.
See you in 8 months.
On 5 September, the day before the Congress proper begins, a full day of activities will take place that are focussed on younger professionals and student engineering geologists, nominally under the age of 40.Inclusions:
