The AIm of the SymposIum

The aim of this symposium is to bring together the practitioners applying geophysical and remote sensing techniques, used extensively in determination of near-surface objects, and to contribute to the development of communication and transmission of information among researchers working on shallow structures using a multi-disciplinary approach. In addition, establishing scientific collaboration between geophysics and remote sensing methods via similar activities that could be done in the future, is also envisaged.   

During the last two decades, geophysics and remote sensing techniques have been used widely in determining the buried shallow objects. Especially, the applications of these methods in the areas of geology, engineering, environment, archaeology, military and agriculture have rapidly increased. This symposium is intended to be an open forum for archaeologists, geophysicists, geologists, engineers, physicists and environmental scientists as well as other interested experts and professionals to meet and discuss the actual practice and future developments of geophysical and remote sensing methods in near-surface applications. We would like to call all scientists and experts to participate in such a unique event and to support this symposium. We will also organize an unforgettable meeting not only for its quality and scientific satisfaction but also for its warm atmosphere in beautiful İzmir. Hope to meet you at the Symposium.

The symposium is arranged jointly by the Center for Near Surface Geophysics and Archaeological Prospection (CNSGAP) of Dokuz Eylül University (DEÜ), and the UCTEA Chambers of Geophysical Engineers, İzmir Branch and DEÜ Engineering Faculty Department of Geophysical Engineering.

Official languages of the symposium are Turkish and English. The symposium will be held in the Conference Hall (DESEM) of Dokuz Eylül University between April 30 and May 2, 2008.
