Event
The BGS will be demonstrating 3D mapping using Gsi3d, and GeoVisionary visualisation at the Mapping Showcase 2011.

The London Mapping Festival is hosting Mapping Showcase 2011, an event dedicated to the diverse range of mapping-related technologies and services that are available. Whether you're involved in CAD, GPS, GIS, cartography or any other role that utilises mapping in one form or another, this is the event for you.

There will be a wide range of exhibitors spanning the wider mapping community and presentations from industry speakers, interactive workshops and networking opportunities. This event is free to attend.

Strategy, opportunity and growth for governments, operators and key stakeholders in shale gas development

The main focus of the conference is to tackle environmental and regulatory issues impacting shale gas exploration and production. Access the latest drilling results and technical research from shale gas operators and most importantly to meet and do business with North American and global shale gas operators.

The Head of BGS Head of Science (Energy) Professor Mike Stephenson will be amongst a prestigious and thought-leading list of speakers.

Professor Stephenson will be speaking about :
Tapping the potential of shale gas in China and Australia with particular emphasis on:

  • How will China realise its unconventional resources and who will they partner with?
  • What will be the impact of Australian shale gas? Will Australia export shale gas?

3D geological model
Event

A conference organised by the Geoscience Information Group of the Geological Society, and our Data and Research for Environmental Applications and Models (DREAM) cross-cutting project at the British Geological Survey.

The aim is to provide a showcase for current research on the integration and linking of environmental models (for example bringing together climate, ecological, hydrological, hydrogeological and geological along with socio-economic models) to enable a trans-disciplinary understanding of the environment to be developed.

The conference will take place at the Geological Society of London.

The conference will be of benefit to anyone working on integrating environmental computer models to address key environmental problems (such as issues associated with environmental change and the sustainability of natural resources), including:

  • Environmental Consultants
  • Geologists and other environmental scientists involved in modelling the environment
  • IT and data management professionals supporting integrated environmental modelling
  • Managers with responsibility for integrated environmental modelling projects, or seeking to gain maximum value from previous investment in the creation of models
  • Academic researchers working on modelling of the environment (whether for example from a climate, water, or geological perspective) or on the development of related IT technologies and software

I Know Where I'm Going Remote Access to World Heritage Sites from St Kilda to Uluru - a conference

This two-day international conference will focus on the potential for new technologies to create high-quality, remote-access visitor experiences for World Heritage Sites and other sites of cultural, historical and natural significance where remote access is either desirable or necessary.

The conference, at the Informatics Forum at the University of Edinburgh, has three main aims:

To showcase some of the new technologies available (3D/4D scanning, mobile technologies, GPS/GIS, satellite technologies, apps and social media) and discuss their applications.

To debate policy issues linked to the benefits and challenges these new technologies present for sites preservation, conservation, and interpretation worldwide particularly in terms of remote and virtual access to sites which are sensitive, and in terms of economic benefits for tourism.

To encourage site managers worldwide - particularly within the UNESCO World Heritage Sites Network - to consider the benefits and impact the new technologies could have for their own sites and allow them to investigate those further.

Dr Diarmad Campbell, BGS Chief Geologist for Scotland, will be chairing a session and demonstrations of GeoVisionary will be given as part of the exhibits. GeoVisionary, developed by Virtalis and the British Geological Survey, offers visualisation of spatial data in high-resolution 3D and 3D stereo.
