European Geosciences Union general assembly 2010
The EGU General Assembly 2010 will bring together geoscientists from all over the world into one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences. Especially for young scientists the EGU appeals to provide a forum to present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geosciences. The EGU is looking forward to cordially welcome you in Vienna!

72nd EAGE Conference & Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2010
In 2004 EAGE and SPE decided to incorporate the SPE EUROPEC into EAGE’s annual event. As a result of this cooperation a truly multi-disciplinary event is created with a full diversity of geoscientific and reservoir engineering contributions.

The Petroleum Systems of Saharan Africa
The Saharan conference (pdf), was held at the Geological society, London, co convened by the North Africa Research Group, and the Geological Society Petroleum Group. The 2 day event was a great success with over 110 attendees, and a waiting list on top of that! All talks were warmly received and general opinion suggested they were enjoyed as well. The 7 sessions included;
- Regional Perspectives
- Understanding Petroleum migration, (Basin studies 1 and 2)
- Developments in Stratigraphy
- Tectonic Controls on Petroleum Systems
- Reservoir Architecture and Depositional models
- Developments in exploration
- Trapping styles and Play types
Talks by the North Africa Research Group included;
- 3D modeling of continental mixed fluvial/aeolian systems integrating "LIDAR" digital outcrop images with high resolution sedimentology of fluvial facies: Upper Triassic, High Atlas, Morocco.
- Hydrocarbon Maturation history of the Ghadames Basin, North Africa: The influence of Exhumation and Erosion.
- Complex controls on facies architecture of Upper Triassic fluvio-aeolian sandstone reservoirs in NW Africa: lessons learned from outcrop studies in Morocco (Argana Valley) in comparison to subsurface data from Algeria.
- Mass - transport - complex and Channel - Levee system interaction: Examples from the offshore Nile Delta.
The conference drew people from exploration and production companies in the region, together with leading academic institutions and consultancy groups.
