Promoting scientific-technical exchange and institutional collaboration of joint projects with multidisciplinary approaches on issues related to the geological-mining development of Cuba, are among the topics of interest for the Holguín delegation participating in the IX Convention on Earth Sciences held online from Monday to Friday this week.
Topics for debate among participants include those related to the environment, oil and gas, geological risk management, evaluation of underground aquifer deposits, and other important aspects for the socio-economic development of the country.
“In the event, which is held from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Holguín (UHO), participants present novel results obtained by researchers from the territory.
We have a work on seismicity and another on technologies for seismic risk assessment, both from the National Center for Seismological Research (CENAIS); also studies of environmental impacts in quarries and their rehabilitation, of the ENIA; and the sustainability of the quality of the Zeolite produced in the territory”, explained Carlos Miguel Díaz Matos, president of the Cuban Society of Geology (SCG) of Holguín-Las Tunas.
“Geosciences (Earth Sciences) are essential for their contributions to the development of Cuba, and to the fulfillment of the National Economic and Social Plan until 2030. Due to its international nature, researchers from the United States, Brazil, Spain, etc. participate in this meeting, ” said Nicolás Vega Garriga, CENAIS Associate Researcher.
The SCG is a scientific association that groups together on a voluntary basis geologists, geophysicists, miners, surveyors, oilmen and other professionals dedicated to the search and rational exploitation of natural resources, essential for the development of society.
