13-18 November 2002
Te Papa, Wellington, New ZealandPhotos from UMI 2002
Could exploration of the more than 20,000 km of volcanic arc of the Western Pacific seabed represent the next staking rush for mining companies?
The 32 nd Annual Conference of the Underwater Mining Institute (UMI) invites you to participate in a forum for serious discussion of this and other topics in Te Papa -- New Zealand's national museum.
Presentations on the following topics will be featured:
- Submarine hydrothermal deposits, with an emphasis on volcanic arcs
- Engineering applications of interest to the development of seabed minerals
- Other topics of interest to marine minerals development and study
