About this event

ConfHead

The Department of Earth Sciences at Stellenbosch University, the Geological Society of South Africa (GSSA), and the Igneous and Metamorphic Studies Group (IMSG) would like to invite you to attend Geocongress 2023. This exciting event is scheduled between 11 & 13 January 2023, at the University of Stellenbosch campus, Stellenbosch, South Africa. The conference theme is “The next 125 years of Earth Sciences”, with the aim of highlighting current geoscience research and industry practice, while simultaneously looking forward to where we perceive that this important scientific discipline will develop in the future.

The conference aims to cover a broad spectrum of geoscience topics that will include both traditional disciplines (e.g., economic geology; environmental geology; igneous petrology; metamorphic petrology; exploration geology; geochemistry; geochronology; geohydrology; geophysics; mineralogy; mining; sedimentary geology; and structural geology); and less traditional and forward-looking themes such as Big Data in Earth Sciences, Geotourism, and Earth Science Education.

In addition to the oral and poster sessions, the conference will also be combined with workshops preceding the conference and one- and two-day excursions in the region surrounding Stellenbosch. We look forward to seeing you at the University of Stellenbosch in 2023!

Warm regards,Geocongress 2023
