Call for Site Investigation and Monitoring Data Contributions for AGS NSW Chapter’s Annual Prediction Event
Posted:
The AGS NSW Chapter is excited to announce a new initiative under the ‘Numerical Methods and AI in Practice’ subcommittee: an Annual Prediction Event designed to advance the practical application of numerical methods in geotechnical engineering. To make this initiative a success, we invite contributions of site investigation data and instrumentation and monitoring datasets from the geotechnical community.
Call for submissions: Practical Applications of Generative AI in Geotechnical Engineering
Posted:
The AGS NSW Chapter Subcommittee on Numerical Methods and AI in Practice invites all AGS members to share their experiences and insights on how they are integrating Generative AI into their geotechnical engineering workflows.
This week we have lots of news! We have major conference updates of upcoming conferences: a) 2nd circular for ARC-15, b) 3rd Argentine Congress of Applied Geology to Engineering and the Environment, c) AEG in September in Chicago, Illinois, U.S. and d) call for abstracts for the World Congress of IAEG2026 in the Netherlands.
The International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) TC-211 Ground Improvement Technical Committee, presents the upcoming webinar, titled: Field-scale implementation of EICP and what comes next? When: Friday 20 June 2025 Where: https://utsmeet.zoom.us/j/89658918418 In this webinar Dr Martin will present the results of a field-scale test program for Enzyme-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (EICP) that was conducted at Arizona State University’s Soils Field Laboratory. It builds upon previous bench and mid-scale studies, focusing on the feasibility of implementing EICP at a larger scale and evaluating its quality using existing methods. While the test results show promise, the presentation will explore the challenges that make it difficult to implement bio-based solutions, such as EICP, in practice. About the Speaker Dr. Kimberly…
This week we have the lead article being a YEG article for the newsletter from last week! The most amazing landslide occurred this week in the Alps in Blatten, Switzerland. We also have news items from volcanoes in Hawaii and Ethiopia and the finding of a large mineral deposit in Argentina.
The latest issue of the IAEG Connector newsletter is available to read online. This week we have a new YEG article for the newsletter! Many thanks to all of our students who have contributed in the past and in this issue. News items include Norway’s offshore CO2 storage, an earthquake in Crete and a landslide in the Ivory Coast!
This week we announce a wonderful rock engineering and engineering geology symposium in Taiwan! We also have news items of rockfalls in Spain and landslides in Peru. We have lots of conferences coming up and they are listed: The Netherlands, Brazil, India, Nepal and Africa.
This week we highlight our upcoming regional conference in Africa in September. We also list free access to selected BOEG papers in response to the Myanmar Earthquake recently.
We have some good news items too. We have lots of conferences coming up and they are listed: The Netherlands, Brazil, India, Nepal and Africa.
This week we have some photos of the very successful lecture tour of Australia and New Zealand by our president, Dr. Vassilis Marinos! We have some good news items: eruption of a volcano in Costa Rica, overpumping of groundwater in Brazil, and groundwater problems in Iraq.
Lots of geodisasters this week around the world. We had a subway collapse in Korea and news items from Italy, India, the Caspian Sea and South Africa. We hope to get photos and a report from President Marinos's trip to Australia and New Zealand.
