Proceedings for: The International Rock Imaging Summit - 2021
View each of the iRIS-2021 Presentations!
These proceedings offer all those who registered for iRIS-2021 an opportunity to watch any of the technical presentations or panel discussions again - or to catch up on any they missed during the live event. The recorded talks are only available here on the RISIG website. They cannot be downloaded. We recognise the intellectual rights of the authors and/or their employers and thank them for allowing us to share their work with iRIS-2021 registrants.
However, we have made the panel sessions, including the talks preceeding the discussions, available to all. The importance of the topics justifies this open sharing so please let others, even non-members, know that they can watch these panel sessions here on the RISIG website.
To view a presentation, simply click on the presentation title. This will activate a video viewer window where you can click the play button (bottom left) to watch the talk. There is a time line at the bottom of the video frame so you can skip forward or backward at will, or pause the playback at any time. Use the 'Dismiss' button at the top of the frame to close the viewer.
*** RISIG members are requested to rank presentations they view using the five-star rating at the top right of the viewer. ***
PLEASE NOTE THE SOUND QUALITY OF THE PRESENTATIONS VARIES ACCORDING TO EACH INDIVIDUAL SPEAKER'S AUDIO SETUP.
