2. THE SGEM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES
ON EARTH & GEOSCIENCES bring together re-
searchers, educators and practitioners representing re-
search and educational institutions, companies, govern-
ment agencies and consulting organizations from all over
the world to exchange ideas, to define the research pri-
orities in the fields of Earth & GeoSciences.
Our overall objective is to propose potential solutions of
problems related to the global changes, to contribute to
the integration of environmental consideration into the
decision-making process - hoping to ensure that present
consumption will not compromise the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.
