Mining Latin America
Organized bythe institution of Mining and Metallurgy, this conference will cover novel aspects of the minerals industry, including finance/investment opportunities, geology, mining, mineral processing, extractive metallurgy and marketing, that have particular relevance to the Latin American region. An exhibition of equipment, products and services for the minerals industry will be held concurrently with the conference, and a number of technical and social tours will be offered.

Engineering in Complex Rock Formations
This ISRM sympoisum is being organized by the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics. Subjects to be considered are; new developments in field and laboratory testing of complex formations (in-situ and laboratory testing techniques, geophysical testing and explo'ration, new procedures and data acquisition techniques, and determination of design parameters); design philosophies, methods of analyses and stability of rock slopes, dam foundations and underground structures; construction and strengthening---excavation and support with an emphasis on complex rock formations; and monitoring--back analysis, case studies, and evaluations of analytical methods, design methods, and construction techniques. For more information write: Secretariat of the ECRF Symposium, Institute of Geophysics, Academia Sinica, P.O. Box 928, Beijing, People's Republic of China.
December 1-5, 1986 Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
Scientific Basic for Nuclear Waste Management
This symposium, to be offered in conjunction with the Materials Research Society fall meeting, offers scientists with an interest in the technical aspects of nuclear waste management an opportunity to present and exchange recent scientific results, The program will feature papers reviewing technical progress in a variety of subject areas with an assessment of the ability of the work to provide the information required to achieve waste disposal. The focus of papers will be the demonstration of, and license requirements for, long-term performance of waste package components from short-term data--extrapolation methods, mechanistic understanding, validation of models, etc. Possible topics include: materials interactions in a repository; waste form performance (glass, spent fuel, others); container design and corrosion; radionuctide behavior in a repository environment; radiation effects on groundwater chemistry, waste form performance, and corrosion; natural analogs for waste package components; disposal of nonhigh-level radioactive waste; and materials characterization and selection.

Second International Conference and Short Course on Constitutive Laws for Engineering Materials: Theory and Application
The objective of this conference and short course is to provide a forum to bring together developments at the international level, leading to fruitful interchange of research results, cooperation, and transfer of basic research results for technological application. The conference, which will be held at the University of Arizona, is sponsored by the University of Arizona's Engineering and Computation Mechanics Program, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering and Mechanics, Rensslelaer Polytechnic Institute. Topics to be covered are (1) solids (metallic and geological materials); discontinuities; and implementation. The short course on Implementation of Constitutive Models, to be held January 9-10, will involve presentations related to geologic and metallic materials. The main aim will be to provide the participants with information on models that can be readily applied to practical problems.

Drillex '87
The theme of this conference is "Drilling--the minerals industry and geotechnical engineering." Organized by the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy and the British Drilling Association, the conference will be held at the National Agricultural Centre. Conference sessions will cover drilling equipment--recent and future developments; drilling techniques; planning and implementation of drilling programs, including environmental considerations; exploration drilling case histories; in-the-hole equipment and methods; and geological requirements from drilling. A volume of papers will be distributed to registrants in March 1987.
