06/11/2017

The International Conference on Geo-spatial Technologies and Earth Resources (GTER-2017), which was held during October 5-6, 2017, at the Hanoi University of Mining and Geology (HUMG), Hanoi, Vietnam. GTER-2017 is co-organized by HUMG and International Society for Mine Surveying (ISM) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Department of Mine Surveying (HUMG). The conference is financially supported by Vietnam Mining Science and Technology Association (VMSTA), Vietnam Association of Geodesy, Cartography and Remote Sensing (VGCR), Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited (VINACOMIN), and Dong Bac Corporation (NECO).

The main objective of the conference is to provide a platform for researchers, academicians, and engineers in the field of geo-spatial technologies and earth resources to present their recent research results. In addition, this conference provides a setting for them to exchange new ideas, innovative thinking, and application experiences face-to-face, to establish research or business relations and to find partners for future collaboration.

Prof. Tran Thanh Hai, Vice Rector of Hanoi University of Mining and Geology delivered the welcome speech of the conference

The conference program was organized into three sessions covering topics of geo-spatial technologies, advance in mining and tunneling, and geological and earth sciences. Overall, the conference has attracted more than 288 papers, and among them, 57 papers were recommended to submit for this Springer proceedings book for peer-reviewing. Then, the double blind review process was carried out for the all papers, in which, each paper has been reviewed for its merit and novelty by at least two reviewers and one editor by matching the content areas. As result, a total of 24 and 100 papers have been finally selected for the Springer book and conference proceeding book, respectively. We believe that these proceedings book provides a broad overview of recent advances in the fields of geo-spatial technologies and earth resources for readers.
