Oral & Poster Presentation Details

The technical program of the conference will run 4 days. We plan to have 2 separate morning ½ day Plenary Sessions (1 Mineral Exploration oriented & the 2nd Environmentally oriented) that will each be kicked off by a keynote speaker (40 minutes (total)); these 2 plenary sessions will have no overlap with other sessions. The remaining days will have ½ day sessions with 15 minute presentations, but 20 minutes between presentations for questions & moving between rooms. A 35 minute guest presentation (40 minute spot) for each Special Session is planned for each ½ day session; these will be followed by 15 minute oral presentations (20 minutes between talks). The guest speakers are will be selected by the co-chairs of any accepted Plenary Sessions or Special Session submission. Tuesday afternoon set aside for 5 minute oral presentations (4 slide) for the poster presenters; Beth McClenaghan (GSC) has kindly agreed to host this very Special Session.

The poster session will also be ongoing during the entire first 3 days of the conference and located within the main exhibiting area on the upper floor of the SUB (with bar); time will be available for a mixer between the sessions and the evening events, with beverages available. The details on poster size will be forthcoming and velco will be provided.

We will be producing an extended abstract volume with a format of 2-4 pages; a 200 word short abstract, figures, tables, acknowledgements, and references in a Word document in GEEA format; a sample submission format will be available on the IAGS 2009 website soon. These extended abstracts will be printed in a volume and reproduced on CD; student registrants will only receive the CD. Both the book and CD will be included in the normal registration package. The co-chairs will be involved with the scientific and technical editing of these extended abstracts, with the help of the Technical Program Chairs, Drs.
