EAGE Student Lecture Tour to focus on monitoring the Earth’s surface

EAGE’s Student Lecture Tour 2007-2008 is entitled New monitoring technologies for natural hazards and surface displacement’ and will be provided by Prof Benoît Deffontaines from the University of Marne-la-Vallée, France. His three hour lecture will focus on the earth’s surface and new methods to measure changes of the surface. These techniques can be used amongst other things to identify natural hazard risk areas and to monitor small scale deformation. First Break interviewed him on his interest in geomorphology and neotectonics.
