September 5-9 2011, the world cultural heritage city of Salzburg was the setting for the annual conference of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG). The IAMG2011 conference was a forum for exchanging ideas on theory and the practical application of a broad spectrum of mathematical geosciences concepts, addressing a wide range of geoscientists and civil engineers, and providing opportunities for students and young scientists to engage with some of the best geosciences minds in the world.
Non-invasive 3D-reconstruction of ammonite fossil chambers by x-ray CT (Hoffmann&Zachov, IAMG2011 proceedings)
In terms of attendee numbers, IAMG 2011 attracted 235 delegates from 37 countries, with 85% making their way from abroad; regarding provenance, 53% of delegates came from EU countries, 12% from the US, 7% from China, 5% from Iran, 2% from Canada and 21% came from the remaining countries.
The broad thematic range of IAMG 2011 was organized in 22 sessions with a total of 164 high-quality, peer-reviewed contributions: besides covering IAMG core topics like geostatistics, reservoir modeling, 3D modeling or geo-process simulation, contributions addressed applied mathematical geosciences issues with a specific reference to alpine regions - simulation and modeling in hydrogeology and engineering geology as well as geohazard modeling.
Recent developments in GIS and remote sensing
Moreover, as from the close association of the Salzburg based Austrian Academy of Sciences GIScience Research Institute and the University of Salzburg Centre for Geoinformatics, recent developments in GIS and remote sensing with an emphasis on object-based image analysis as well as non-destructive 3D reconstruction of rock macro- and microstructures were highlighted.
3D geological model of tunnel section (Weichenberger&Fürlinger, IAMG2011 proceedings)
All-digital conference proceedings were distributed on USB memory sticks in PDF format and as flash-based flipping book. This enables communicating new geomathematical ideas not only in a sequential, static manner but including animations, interactive 3D-worlds or high-resolution color imagery. As such, the IAMG2011 proceedings mirror the “go green” idea - the production of analogue proceedings volumes, each copy comprising more than 1500 pages could be avoided.
