II Central & North Atlantic Conjugate Margins Conference - Lisbon 2010
Re-discovering the Atlantic: new winds for an old sea ...
The aim of this Conjugate Margins Conference is to provide a forum for researchers and industry from around the world to share geoscience knowledge focusing on and addressing the geology of the Central & North Atlantic realm and its petroleum systems.
This II Conference follows a successful first event in Halifax 2008 (Nova Scotia, Canada) organized by David E. Brown (CNSOPB) & Grant D. Wach (Dalhousie University) http://www.conjugatemargins.com .
The proposal for a second event in Portugal - a European country on the eastern margin of the Atlantic - was presented at the Closing Ceremony by David Brown on behalf of the Halifax 2008 Organizing Committee, hoping to implement bi-annual conferences on the Atlantic conjugate margins.
