SUMMARY:Workshop: ‘Uncertainty Quantification and Visualization in Geological modelling’
DESCRIPTION:As a kick-off of the coming EAGE Annual Meeting in Amsterdam (8-11 June 2020)\, we draw to your attention a workshop on ‘Uncertainty Quantification and Visualization in Geological modelling’ organised by the Dutch European Geologists Denise Maljers\, Johan ten Veen\, Jan Stafleu and Freek Busschers (TNO – Geological Survey of the Netherlands).  \nThis full-day workshop will cover all aspects of uncertainty related to geological models. Topics include model accuracy\, model precision and the visualization and communication of these uncertainties for geological models ranging from detailed reservoir models to regional scale multi-purpose models. \nThe workshop is aimed at geoscientists and policymakers that deal with uncertainties\, by bridging gaps between producing uncertainty information and understanding and using it. \nThe uncertainty in these models has different sources\, ranging from uncertainties related to wells\, i.e. metadata and interpretation\, seismics\, i.e. 2D or 3D\, vintage\, velocity model\, fault model\, property modelling\, etc. But also even less quantifiable sources as geological knowledge used in the modelling process. Furthermore\, what would be the best way to communicate these uncertainties\, using statistical measures\, diagrams\, cross-sections? \nIn this workshop we start with a morning session for non-specialists by giving mini-lectures on accuracy\, precision and visualization\, given by Florian Wellmann and by Bjorn Zehner. For the afternoon session we invite all interested in the topic to submit an abstract for an oral presentation to present case-studies showcasing the important role of the quantification of uncertainties or the visualization of uncertainties. \nAbstract submission deadline: February 15th 2020

SUMMARY:EU Green Week 2020: Nature and biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Attracting attention around the globe\, EU Green Week is the biggest annual event on the European environment policy calendar. It’s a forum for stakeholder debate at the European\, national and local levels\, generating input that feeds back into policymaking and implementation. And it is a truly European event – in addition to a high-level conference in Brussels\, numerous events are organised by partner organisations across the whole of Europe. \nEU Green Week 2020 will focus on nature and biodiversity. All around the globe\, biodiversity is disappearing as a result of unsustainable human activities. This loss is closely connected to climate change\, and the combined effect of this unprecedented crisis is disrupting the ecosystems that support life on Earth\, with devastating consequences for human well-being and prosperity. While the situation is extremely serious\, there is still hope. Solutions exist\, but they require deep and transformative changes in the way we produce\, consume and trade. \nEU Green Week will explore possible pathways for change\, and examine how a range of EU policies like the European Green Deal can help protect\, restore and sustainably manage nature\, leaving it room to recover and thrive. This year’s Green Week will act as a milestone on the path to the COP 15 conference in Kunming\, China\, in October 2020\, where world leaders will adopt a new 10-year action plan for biodiversity – a new global deal for people and nature. \n2020 will be a landmark year. EU Green Week 2020 is your opportunity to meet up with people at the heart of the process.

SUMMARY:Geophysical methods and the detection of environmental contamination
DESCRIPTION:This is  a course endorsed by EFG. \nOutline of content \nThe production of waste is a problem that has always accompanied the human being. In the last few decades\, this problem has become increasingly larger and more difficult to control. For this reason\, ways of minimizing this waste have been created over the past few years. At the same time\, the techniques used have evolved so that the storage of different types of waste is less harmful to the environment. However\, many wastes have been stored improperly for many years. Therefore\, to identify places contaminated by these residues. there are more innovative ways to detect them without having to use invasive methods. This course will focus on geophysical methods and their application on assessing environmental contamination\, giving relevance to mapping on large scale\, and its benefits in terms of cost reduction in comparison to other current methods (water and soil sampling\, for example). \nThis online course will focus on the great potential of these techniques and at the same time provide trainees with knowledge that will allow them to put these techniques into practice\, thus contributing to a global advance in the area of ​​environmental remediation. \nLink to the course \nObjectives \n–          To promote knowledge of techniques that allow the detection of contamination in environmentally degraded places\, caused by the deficient storage of urban solid waste deposits \n–          To encourage the use of this indirect approach to all types of places that require environmental remediation; \n–          To develop skills that will allow all trainees to implement the concepts and knowledge obtained in their current or future workplaces\, increasing their performance in all their activities; \n–          To contribute to a greater motivation of all stakeholders in the area of geosciences\, showing that there is still much to be done and that the role of each one in the future is relevant and really very important in environmental issues. \nCost \nRegular fee: 180 € \nAPG members and EurGeol fee: 135 € \nInscription form here

SUMMARY:Responsible Raw Materials Conference 2020
DESCRIPTION:Population growth\, coupled with our evolving needs and desires for new technology – including that powering the green economy – mean that society is going to continue using non-renewable natural resources for centuries to come.  Although a circular economy is often cited as the preferential situation\, it is currently leaky and needs feeding in the first instance. A transition to sustainable energy also requires more – and more obscure – elements than have been used before\, giving rise to the term ‘critical metals’. \nExtraction of raw materials through activities such as mining is therefore crucial to human survival and the green transition. Moving past the negative perception of mining\, which is already acknowledged as an industry challenge\, the real question is now “how to do it with maximum benefit and minimum impact?”.  \nWhile mining activities have been undertaken and honed for thousands of years\, there is still much more we can do to ensure that we mine in the most responsible manner possible\, across the value chain from artisanal diggings to large-scale industrial mines. In order for mining to become truly responsible\, it needs long term commitment\, support and leadership from all stakeholders inclusive of mining companies\, investors and regulators.  To date\, this has proven difficult\, in part due to differing opinions on how responsibility might be interpreted\, measured\, and rewarded. \nAttempts to reconcile initiatives have been welcomed\, but so far frameworks have not always provided enough practical change in operations and footprint. By providing the means for different stakeholders to contribute to a conversation\, we aim to produce a repository of up-to-date information that can be tapped\, so that it is possible to develop a streamlined\, industry-accepted notion\, with specific criteria and quantification methodology.

SUMMARY:Incentivising new circular economy business models in the context of the European Green Deal
DESCRIPTION:Circular economy features as a key priority in the European Green Deal\, which signals the new Commission’s ambition to accelerate the circular transition\, and recognises the importance of developing markets for climate neutral and circular products. \nSome key questions that need to be addressed in the coming years are the following: How can we encourage consumers and businesses to engage in circular approaches and business models? How do we create the business case and ensure consumer buy-in? Introducing the right incentives for circular economy business models and consumers will be key to achieve the circular economy potential. \nDrawing on the results of CIRC4Life\, which implements circular economy business models in different value chains\, this event aims to present examples of circular business models\, discuss barriers and enablers\, as well as how to incentivise consumers to engage with circular practices. It will include perspectives from both the private and public sector\, as well as discuss consumer preferences. \nCIRC4Life has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. \nThe Conference starts at 13:00 with registration & networking lunch.
