This month...
...we are happy to present a new look for EFG's monthly newsletter.
After 5 years we thought it was time to refresh GeoNews a little. From
now on the cover will feature one of the EAGE/EFG photo contest
pictures. We also introduce a new category: the "European Geologist of
the month". Each month we will ask one of our EurGeol title holders to
tell us about his professional experiences and which role the title has
played for his career. We hope you will enjoy reading!
Are you in a hurry? Then directly scroll to News from EFG & its members
