Short courses and workshops:


Will be included in an upcoming newsletter, as significative changes are under preparation.

The organizing committee may reshape the program depending on the interest of the participants. Do not worry if your favorite subject is not included as a main topic. Any contribution related to mathematical geology passing the review of the Scientific Committee will have the right to be in the final program.

Everybody is encouraged to participate. The first step is submission of an abstract by January 30, 1997. For additional information, please see IAMG Newsletter 51, p. 7-8, or contact the conference secretariat at the following address:
