10. Geostatistics.
Convener: Hans Wackernagel & Ana Fernandez-Militino
Topics: linear and multivariate geostatistics; geostatistical approaches
to compositional data; non-linear geostatistics; non-stationary
geostatistics; conditional simulations; space-time modelling;
environmental geostatistics.
11. Modeling subsurface flow.
Convener: Jaime Gomez-Hernandez & Clayton V. Deutsch
Topics: aquifer/reservoir characterization; use of indirect information
to improve subsurface flow modeling; upscaling; inverse modeling;
uncertainty assesment in subsurface flow model predictions; case studies
based on innovative applications in any of the previous topics.
12. Engeneering geology.
Conveners: Heinz Burger & Juan Jose Egozcue-Rubi
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.
Abstracts:
Interested contributors for oral, poster or software
presentations should submit a one- page abstract of 200 to 400
words in English without figures or references before 31 January
1997. Contributions will be selected by peer review of the
submitted abstracts by at least two referees. Only the extended
abstracts of accepted contributions will be published.
Notification of acceptance together with instructions for the
camera-ready manuscript (maximum of four pages) will be mailed on
31 March 1997. The final, camera-ready copy will be due before 30
May 1997. Participants at the conference will receive a volume
of extended abstracts. Following the conference, authors of
selected papers will be invited to present an article to be
published in a special volume. Abstracts can be submitted either
by regular mail or by e-mail in ASCII or *.RTF format to the con-
ference secretariat.
Everybody is encouraged to participate. For additional information, please contact the conference secretariat at the following address:
