EAGE is proud to announce that the4th Asia Pacific Meeting on Near Surface Geoscience& Engineering is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City from 30 November –2 December 2021.

This meeting aims to strengthen the ties between geoscientists and engineers, academia and industry, the young and experienced in the near surface geoscience domain. Areas that the conference typically covers are geotechnical investigations (infrastructure), geohazards and disaster mitigation, hydrogeophysics & hydrogeology, climate, contamination survey, etc. The conference programme will focuson issues relevant to Vietnamand the Asia Pacificregion and attended by industry professionalsglobally.

The Society of Exploration Geophysicists of Japan (SEGJ) is planning its fourteenth International Symposium on 18-21 October, 2021 online.  The theme of the symposium is "Road ahead for geophysics in digital society: Acquisition, processing, and interpretation".

Inaugurated in 1990, the SEGJ International Symposium has been held every two to three years, and has established as one of the most popular and exciting conferences in applied geophysics in the eastern hemisphere.

Further details may be found on the Symposium's home page.

We have a new webinar on Wednesday 23 March, 4pm AEDT NT is bringing you a talk by Teagan Blaikie and Helen McFarlane of CSIRO on Interpreting high-resolution aeromagnetic data to aid mapping undercover and structural analysis of the Tanami Region and northwest Aileron Province.

Brought to you by NSW on Wednesday 21 October, 6pm (AEST) for a talk by Peter Hatherly.

Stranded stream channels investigated by LiDAR mapping, some geophysics and good old leg work. Insights into the Lapstone Structural Complex west of Sydney.

In the contemporary parlance, the western boundary of what the media call the Sydney Basin is the Lapstone Structural Complex. The front range of the Blue Mountains. This abrupt escarpment rises to a maximum height of 600 m above the Cumberland Plain and forms an impressive boundary to the Blue Mountains beyond.

Geologists identified the monoclines and faults associated with the LSC as early as the nineteenth century but an understanding of the exact nature of the structure and its timing is still not clear. In this talk I take note of evidence of stranded channels evident in detailed LiDAR mapping, the occurrence of river gravels now high above the Nepean River and seismic refraction results within the Thirlmere Lakes, a curious river system within the southern extension of the LSC.

My suggestion is that in its present form, the LSC is probably no older than 10 million years.

Title: Searching for the Beaumont Children and Other Adventures in Unmarked Grave Detection

Presenter: Dr Ian Moffat

Date: Tuesday 2nd June 12:30 pm AEST

Abstract:

The reliable detection of unmarked graves is one of the most important challenges faced by community groups, industry and law enforcement agencies. Burials are ubiquitous in the archaeological and forensic record however these features are challenging to locate with conventional techniques. Geophysical methods are often used for this purpose due to their non-invasive nature and rapid site coverage however graves remain a difficult target due to their subtle response and small size. This presentation reviews a number of grave detection projects, including the search for the Beaumont Children and mapping WWII graves from the Battle of Tarawa, to discuss current best practice in this field.

Bio:

Ian Moffat is an ARC DECRA Senior Research Fellow in Archaeological Science at Flinders University where he undertakes research in the application of earth science techniques in archaeology. He has previously held research positions at the University of Cambridge and the Institute for Mediterranean Studies. Ian holds a PhD from the ANU and a BA and BSc (Hons) from UQ. In addition to his academic career he has worked at Ecophyte Technologies, Precipice Training and Archaeometry Pty Ltd.

The NSW Branch of the ASEG invite you to join us on ZOOM for the next talk in the ASEG Webinar Series. 

Please join us on Wednesday 20th May, 6:00 pm (AEST) for a talk by Simon Williams from GBG Australia.

Geophysical Characterisation for the Dredging of the Marine Industry Park, Darwin

This presentation covers the use of multiple marine geophysical methods to help characterise the geology and geotechnical challenges for preliminary design of dredged access channels to a proposed marine industry development site in Darwin Harbour. The main geophysical methods utilised to characterise the geological materials where single-channel seismic reflection and densely spaced continuous marine seismic refraction. 

Please bring your own drinks and nibbles.
