The CET and partner organisations (CSIRO, RWTH Aachen University, UWA and Geological Survey of WA) have come together to host the international conference, “Saying Goodbye to a 2D Earth” 2-7 August, 2015.
A strong emphasis at this conference will be placed on discussing future methods for characterising, visualising and reducing model uncertainty.
Fundamental questions remain as to how to integrate geophysical and geological datasets with prior knowledge into testable, robust predictions of the 3D world beneath our feet. Although commercial systems provide adequate solutions for some specific scenarios, the ability to produce testable, reproducible models for which model uncertainties are well contrained by all the geological and geophysical observations remain a goal, not a reality.
In this conference a strong emphasis will be placed on discussing future methods for characterising, visualising and reducing model uncertainty, as this is a particular weakness of current methodologies, and a necessary step in providing predictions with error estimates, a fundamental requirement of all scientific endeavour. The invited speakers are drawn from academia, geological surveys and the energy and minerals industry, as all three groups have been instrumental in developing the existing systems, and are pushing the scientific frontiers of this discipline. This conference will bring together geophysicists and geologists working at different scales, using customised and commercial technologies and workflows, and working in different tectonic settings, to stimulate discussions between groups that do not often interact.
Invited speakers confirmed for this event are:
Clare Bond University of Aberdeen, Scotland
Eric de Kemp Geological Survey of Canada
Florian Wellmann RWTH Aachen, Germany
Gaby Courrioux BRGM, Orleans France
Hoshin Gupta The University of Arizona
Laurent Ailleres Monash University, Australia
Peter Fullagar Fullagar Geophysics
Peter LeLievre Memorial University of Newfoundland
Roland Martin CNRS Toulouse, France
