Geosur 2010 INTERNATIONAL GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS
ON THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
MAR DEL PLATA - 22 - 23 NOVEMBER 2010
SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS
The two-days symposium will include presentations sent by the participants (either oral or in poster format) and two or three key-note invited talks given by experts in specific subjects (to be listed in the second circular). The program may include parallel sessions if a significant amount of abstracts is received by the organizers. However, the organizers will reserve their right to change contributions from talks to posters. The list of the thematic sessions with the corresponding chairman will be distributed with the second circular, depending on the number and scientific content of the received abstracts. Talks will last 15 minutes each, followed by 5 minutes discussions. The invited talks will last from 30 to 35 minutes. Poster sessions will be organized on both days, and will cover the same general topics as concurrent oral sessions. Posters of each session will be on display all day long. Posters are particularly useful for displaying geological and geophysical maps.
