Hydrochemistry and Human Health: Ineson 2018
Geological Society, Burlington House, London
A joint meeting of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) and the Hydrogeological Group of the Geological Society, including the 2018 Ineson Lecture.
The 2018 Ineson Lecture will be presented by Dr Pauline Smedley. Dr Smedley is a principal hydrogeochemist at the British Geological Survey and leader of the BGS Groundwater Protection and Risk team. Her work focuses on the mobilisation and transport of trace elements of health concern in groundwaters around the world; baseline groundwater chemistry in the UK; and groundwater chemistry monitoring in relation to shale-gas development.
The Ineson Lecture will be accompanied by supporting presentations and discussions in the area of hydrochemistry and human health. A full programme will be circulated soon.
The meeting will also include presentation of the IAH British Chapter John Day Bursary.
This will be a full day meeting with lunch provided, and a post-meeting wine reception in the Geological Society Main Library.
Poster presentations are welcome on the theme.

AGIC2019 Applied Geosciences for Groundwater
Applied Geosciences for Groundwater. AGIC2019 is the 2nd International Congress of Atlas Georesources. It will bring together researchers, research scholars, experts and policy makers to share their research, experiences and discuss recent advances in applied Geosciences for Groundwater. The conference will cover many aspects related to Groundwater grouped in four main topics:
- Global change and Groundwater
- Groundwater quality and pollution
- Groundwater exploration and monitoring
- Groundwater modelling and risk management
It will take place in Hammamet which is a coastal city located in the North East of Tunisia. The city is very famous by its endless white sandy beach and tourist resort. At the centre of the city stands the old Medina and the historic fort of Hammamet which was built in 893.
The AGIC2019 Scientific Committee will select the best and most-interesting contributions for publication in Special Issues and as book chapters in peer-reviewed International Journals. Abstracts submission will be opened on the 31, July 2018 and will be announced on the second detailed call of the conference.Organised by Georesources Laboratory and Tunisian Committee of IAH.
