The first Vertical Geology Conference took place at the University of Lausanne on the 6th and 7th of February 2014. A full-day short course on LiDAR techniques applied to structural geology investigations was proposed the day before the conference. The conference was focused on remote sensing of ground surface and digital processing to support 3D geological modeling and interpretation in various fields of the geosciences.

Further information is still available on the conference website.
