Program
The final program of the GeoProc 2019 conference is available below.
Registration on the 2nd of July will consist of an ice-breaker at the conference venue and, for those who are interested, a tour of the High Pressure and Temperature Laboratory in the new Earth Simulation Laboratory (ESL), to be opened in 2019.
There will be an optional conference dinner (not included, 70 EUR/person) on Thursday the 4th of July. The dinner will take place on a boat, which will cruise the Vinkeveense Plassen (lakes created by extensive turf cutting in the area in the past) throughout the evening. The perfect way to enjoy good food, good company and get a taste of why Utrecht is one of the top 10 unsung places in the world!

Oral presentations
We are planning for 9 keynote speakers selected from across the THMC and earthquake/fault mechanics and related communities. In total, we aim for 36 talks distributed over nine sessions throughout the three days of the conference, meaning that each session will consist of one keynote lecture and three standard talks. Invited talks will be 30 minutes in length (25 min presentation + 5 min discussion), while standard talks will be 20 minutes (15 min presentation + 5 min discussion).
Poster presentations
Throughout the conference three poster sessions will take place in the afternoon to allow for sufficient time for the participants to interact and discuss.
