past edition EAGE NearSurface 2024

NSG2024 in Helsinki!

The Near Surface Geoscience Conference & Exhibition 2024 took place in Helsinki from 8-12 September, offering participants the perfect opportunity to explore Finland during this vibrant season. 

EAGE NSG2024 brought together three parallel programmes under one roof:

  • 30th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics
  • 5th Conference on Geophysics for Mineral Exploration and Mining
  • 4th Conference on Airborne, Drone and Robotic Geophysics

 

Fennoscandia, being a key area for mineral exploration and mining, made this event a central meeting place for both industry and academia. Attendees discussed the latest advancements in geoscience, displayed products, advertised services, and collaborated on finding solutions. We were thrilled to have both young students and seasoned professionals join us to make NSG2024 an unforgettable experience!

Topics

Be part of the Technical Programme! Share integrated approaches, novel geophysical methods and applications, together with new technologies, developments and research trends with peers from academia, industry and government organisations.
