CONFERENCE LOCATION

The conference site will be Radisson, Royal Garden Hotel, a first-class hotel located along the Nidelv river, with 297 rooms and 9 suites. The hotel is located within a short walking distance of the city centre and the Nidaros Cathedral.

The conference has been scheduled in a period which is convenient for the long nordic nights and favourable weather conditions (15-20° C).

The Royal Garden Hotel is equipped with the most advanced facilities for conferences, seminars and conventions. The following special price has been negotiated: 795 NOK pr. night for a single room and 850 NOK pr. night for a double room (including breakfast).

OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE

The Annual Conference of the International Association for Mathematical Geology, IAMG'99, will be held at Royal Garden Hotel, Trondheim, Norway, August 6-11, 1999. Previous Conferences of the same series have been held at Mount Tremblant, Canada (1994), Osaka, Japan (1995), Beijing, China (1996), Barcelona, Spain (1997), and Isola d’Ischia, Napoli, Italy (1998).

This international conference will focus primarily on quantitative analysis related to the petroleum industry. Other topics relevant to mathematical geology (see below) will also be included.

The conference is sponsored by the International Association for Mathematical Geology (IAMG) and by the International Union of Geological Sciences Commission on Fossil Fuels (IUGS-CFF) and the Department of Geology and Mineral Resources Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). It will consist of 3 days devoted to technical sessions, preceeded by 2 days of tutorial workshops and excursions to areas of scientific and tourist interest. A full program for accompanying guests and a conference banquet is also planned.

FINAL PROGRAM

The IAMG'99 will start with workshops on Friday 6 August and the subsequent technical program will start Sunday, 8 August, at 6 p.m. with an official reception, followed by three days of plenary and parallel technical sessions. The conference will be divided into plenary sessions Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon, opened by keynote lectures given by invited speakers and by IAMG award winnings, and parallel sessions from Monday afternoon to Wednesday morning. The closing session will end at 14.00 on Wednesday allowing for departure on the afternoon of August 11th.

EXCURSIONS

We are planning excursions for Sunday 8th August and can offer the following:

1. Trondheim - Sverresborg Folk Museum, Ringve Music Museum, Munkholmen Island.
Guided tour around some of Trondheim's main tourist attractions. All day (10.00-17.00).

2. Røros (UNESCO World Cultural and Heritage Site) - Olavs Mine, Røros Museum, Røros Church.
Guided tour around this historic mining town located about 150 km SE of Trondheim in the heart of the Norwegian mountains. All day (8.30-17.00)

Both tours will cost about 300-350 NOK per person. This price is dependent on us filling up a 48 seater bus. Minimum 40 persons.

We need people to register interest as soon as possible.

SOCIAL PROGRAMME

An informal social programme with visits to Nidaros Cathedral, the Royal Residence, Museum of Applied Art and shopping will be organized for spouses and companions. There is also possibilities to arrange half day tours to the Austrått Castle across the Trondheim Fjord and the Stiklestad National Historical and Cultural Centre at the head of the Trondheim Fjord. Stiklestad is the historical focus of central Norway. At this well-known battlefield, Olav Haraldsson fell in the battle of A.D. 1030, an important event in the history of Christianity in Norway. He became St. Olav and was buried in Trondheim where the Cathedral was later built over his grave.
