This 2 day event at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) aims to provide early career geoscientists with an opportunity to collaborate and benefit from the multidisciplinary nature of research across Ireland. iGEO2020 will enable early-career geoscientists (ECGs) to exchange knowledge on common methodologies and about their research with fellow ECGs, industry members and policy makers.

ICGMES 2020: International Conference on Geological Modelling and Earth Science aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Geological Modelling and Earth Science. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Geological Modelling and Earth Science.

Come to beautiful northeast Tasmania, see some fantastic geology, evaluate new field education methods, and interact with other Earth science educators in an informal environment. Fieldwork is a cornerstone of Earth science education and undergraduate students today must not only master traditional geological field skills but also need to be familiar with a wide range of new and emerging technologies such as: • UAVs (drones) • Digital field data recording • Portable analytical tools • Photogrammetry and laser scanning • Integration of geophysical data • Augmented and virtual reality
