Geological Survey of NSW Symposium – celebrating 150 years

Event • NSW Resources

Join us at the Geological Survey of NSW Symposium  celebrating 150 years at NEX Newcastle from 9.00am - 4.30pm, followed by a ticketed Symposium dinner at 6.00pm.  

The symposium programme will feature a keynote presentation by the new CEO of Geoscience Australia, Melissa Harris PSM. 

Topics will also cover founders of the Geological Survey of NSW, historical achievements and milestones in NSW geological mapping and publications, and an overview of current thinking on NSW geology by past and present survey staff. 

The symposium is also an excellent opportunity to network with current and former Geological Survey staff and to celebrate the legacy of the Survey’s scientific achievement and future vision.  

A light morning tea will be provided from 10:30 to 11:00 am and a networking lunch from 12.30 pm in The Avenue.

NSW Resources is committed to ensuring this symposium is a safe, inclusive and enjoyable event for all attendees.
