INVITATION
Welcome to the 26th International Applied Geochemistry Symposium
(IAGS) of the Association of Applied Geochemists (AAG) which will take
place in Rotorua, New Zealand, from 18-21 November 2013. The meeting
incorporates the 35th New Zealand Geothermal Workshop (NZGW) from 18
– 20 November 2013 and will focus on applied geochemistry, new ways of
analysis, interpretation of data and geochemistry applied to environmentally
-sustainable mineral and geothermal exploration, engineering and develop-
ment. A technical programme, special sessions, workshops, and pre- and
post-symposium excursions will provide a comprehensive programme.
We hope that you can join us to make this symposium a major success, encouraging and influencing future state-of-the-art
geochemical and geothermal research, sustainable resource development and environmental management.

ORGANISERS
The Symposium is jointly organised by the AAG, New Zealand Geothermal Workshop and GNS Science. Support also comes
from universities, mineral and geothermal industries, and their service providers. In addition, the Society of Economic Geologists
is organising a series of technical sessions in the programme.
The Association of Applied Geochemists (AAG)
The AAG (www.appliedgeochemists.org) is an international scientific society that promotes the
science of geochemistry applied to exploration and the environment. Its worldwide membership is
composed of researchers, professionals and students from university, industry and government
organisations. Its publication, Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis, is recognised as
a premier international scientific journal.
New Zealand Geothermal Workshop (NZGW)
The University of Auckland’s first Geothermal Workshop began in 1979, as an avenue for graduating
students of the Geothermal Institute to present their research. Over the years, NZGW
(www.geothermalworkshop.co.nz) has evolved to become an important annual international meeting
for industry, academics, students and government to share latest research and development, and to
recognise and celebrate the collective achievements of geothermal energy in New Zealand.
GNS Science
GNS Science is a New Zealand Government-owned research organisation with approximately 350
staff working in all areas of earth science (www.gns.cri.nz). It carries out public good research for the
New Zealand Government as well as consultancy, product development, and laboratory services for
the private sector.
Society Of Economic Geologists
The Society of Economic Geologists (www.segweb.org) is an international organization
of more than 5000 members including representatives from industry, academia, and
government institutions. Annual meetings, publications, field conferences, and short
courses ensure an active communication of economic geology-related concepts within
the membership and with the economic geology profession at large.

PROGRAMME
Programme Overview The IAGS 2013 programme will feature four days of technical sessions and social
activities that will appeal to a broad range of geochemists and geoscientists
interested in applied geochemistry and geothermal research. Workshops and Short
courses, and pre- and post-symposium excursions are designed to support the
technical programme. Three days of the four-day technical programme will also
feature parallel sessions of the New Zealand Geothermal Workshop on geothermal
exploration and development. The New Zealand Geothermal Association will also
hold their annual AGM during the Workshop and there will be sessions dedicated
to Industry Updates from key companies.

ROTORUA
Rotorua (www.rotoruanz.com) has a population of 68,000 and is an iconic tourism destination attracting 2.9 million
domestic and international visitors annually. It is a thriving city with an economy focused around tourism, retailing,
forestry and manufacturing. Rotorua is often referred to as the ‘Lake District’ because of the number of fishable
lakes within its boundaries. It was historically New Zealand’s first tourism destination, because of thermal features
such as the Pink and White Terraces (destroyed in the 1886 Tarawera eruption). Rotorua continues as the centre
for geothermal attractions and visitors are immediately aware of the geothermal environment because of the
characteristic scent of sulphur in the air.
In addition to the geothermal attractions, Rotorua offers a wide range of activities for visitors including walking and
mountain biking through forests (Whakarewarewa Forest has a magnificent stand of giant redwoods), boating and
fishing on the many lakes, white-water rafting, river jet boating, 4 x 4 driving up Mt Tarawera, and tourist attractions
such as the Rainbow Springs and kiwi encounter, Burried Village of Te Wairoa, Agradome, Agroventures, Ngongataha
Skyline rides and luge, Paradise Valley Springs wildlife park, and Te Puia Maori arts and crafts centre. Alternatively,
visitors can relax in one of the many spas.
Several other attractions are nearby. Lake Taupo and the coastal city of Tauranga are each only one hour’s drive
away, and the ski fields on Mt Ruapehu are less than two hours drive from Rotorua.
Apart from the abundance of local tourism attractions, Rotorua offers visitors a range of accommodation options, a
vibrant retail district of more than 250 shops and more than 50 restaurants including European, Italian, Thai, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Indian, and Mexican cuisine options.
Maori concert
Prince of Wales Feathers and Pohutu Geysers, Whakarewarewa thermal park, Rotorua
Rotorua is the heartland of New Zealand Maori culture, with Maori making up
approximately 35% of the population in the Rotorua district. IAGS delegates
will have the opportunity to experience the warm spirit of Te Maori with a
traditional Maori powhiri (welcome), concert and hangi (food cooked in an
earth oven).

NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is located in the South Pacific between the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea, between latitudes 35o
and 45o south, approximately 2000 km to the east of Australia. New Zealand has a temperate climate with relatively
high rainfall, green rolling hills in the North Island and majestic mountains, lakes and fiords in the South Island. The
spectacular scenery, friendly people and excellent facilities make New Zealand one of the World’s top tourist
destinations.
New Zealand location and facts
ACCOMMODATION
Rotorua has 13 hotels and more than 90 motels and motor inns providing a wide range of accommodation options.

TRAVELLING TO ROTORUA
Most international flights to New Zealand arrive at the International Airport in Auckland (www.aucklandairport.co.nz), the
largest city in New Zealand. Delegates can use domestic airline services between Auckland and Rotorua (40 minute
flight), or hire a rental car and drive from Auckland airport to Rotorua in approximately 3 hours.
Rotorua Airport (www.rotorua-airport.co.nz) is about 15 minutes drive from the centre of Rotorua, and is serviced by taxis
and a shuttle bus service. Rotorua airport has direct flight services to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown
and Sydney.
WEATHER
Rotorua’s weather is generally fine, with warm sunshine in the summer and clear crisp days in the winter. In November,
the weather in Rotorua can be quite unpredictable, with rain on approximately 12 days. Monthly precipitation at this time
of year is around 110 mm. Temperatures average 15oC during the day and 7ºC at night. Come prepared for changes in
weather and temperature, especially if you will be doing any outdoors activities. A raincoat and/or umbrella is a good idea!
MONEY
The unit of currency is the New Zealand dollar, which is divided into 100 cents. Money-changing facilities are available on
arrival at Auckland International Airport, at banks and in most hotels.
GST
All purchases in New Zealand are subject to 15% GST (Goods and Services Tax). This is usually included in published
retail prices for all goods and services. Overseas visitors who get their purchase sent home directly by the retailer do not
have to pay GST. If the item is taken from the shop by the purchaser, GST will be paid. There is no system for a refund of
GST incurred by international travellers.
BANKS
Trading banks are open Monday to Friday 9.00 am to 4.30 pm. There are over 3,500 Automatic teller machines (ATMs) in
New Zealand, accessible 24 hours a day, and these accept most cards. Travellers cheques can be cashed at banks, and
also at bureaux de change, hotels and some shops.
ELECTRICITY
Electricity supply is 230/240 volts, 50 hertz AC (USA and Canada voltage is 110 volts). Most hotels and motels provide
110 volt AC sockets (rated at 20 watts). New Zealand and Australia use the same type of three-pin plug (phase, neutral
and earth). Adapters are available from international airports and some electric shops.
