- About to MRGES 2026-

The International Conference on Mineral Resources, Geology, and Earth Sciences (MRGES 2026) will be held grandly in Qingdao, a renowned marine science and technology city in China. This conference focuses on the cutting-edge developments in mineral resource exploration and development, geological science research, and the evolution of the Earth system. It is committed to building a high-level and international academic exchange platform, bringing together experts, scholars, researchers, mining engineers, and representatives from government geological institutions in the fields of geology, mineral exploration, geophysics, geochemistry, rock mineralogy, environmental geology, marine geology, and sustainable resource utilization. The conference will conduct in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics such as the mineralization laws and prospecting predictions of strategic mineral resources, new technologies for deep and deep-sea resource exploration, green development of mineral resources and coordinated environmental governance, geological hazard monitoring and risk assessment, processes and material cycles in key zones of the Earth, isotope geochemistry and paleoenvironmental reconstruction, the application of big data and artificial intelligence in geological modeling, safe utilization of urban geology and underground space, potential evaluation of marine mineral resources, and resource energy transformation paths under the background of carbon neutrality. Through various forms such as keynote speeches, thematic forums, paper presentations, technology exhibitions, and field investigations, we aim to promote the deep integration of fundamental research in earth science with sustainable resource development practices. MRGES 2026 emphasizes the core concept of "exploration and mining, technological empowerment, and green development", committed to enhancing China's resource security capabilities, serving the construction of ecological civilization and the "dual carbon" strategy. The high-quality papers accepted by the conference will be recommended for publication in relevant international journals indexed by SCI, Scopus, or EI, expanding the influence of research results.
