Life of Mine activities cover from mine feasibility planning through to closure with geoscience contributing practical assistance to the life of mine site key activities to sustain the mine and leave an acceptable legacy – the 6Rs: “Regulation, Running, Rehabilitation, Re-purposing, Retirement and Reclamation”. Customized geoscience workflows contribute through implementation of the 4Ms: “Mapping, Monitoring, Modeling and Management”.
The virtual symposium will be held on May 15-17, 2023.
Registration opens February 27th, and more information can be found on the symposium website.

Awards — Call for Submissions
Posted:
Nominations for the D.H. Trollope Medal, John Jaeger Memorial Award, and AGS Practitioner Award are now open.
D.H. Trollope Medal
Deadline for submissions is 31 December 2022
Basis of the Award
The Trollope Medal is awarded to the author of an outstanding paper on either theoretical or applied geomechanics. The work reported in the paper must have been undertaken in Australia by an author under 35 years of age and can have been published anywhere in the world in the previous four years. The nominated author must have been primarily responsible for the work and would normally be the principal author of the paper.
The paper must be based upon recent or current doctoral research undertaken by the author.
The recipient is expected to be a member of the Australian Geomechanics Society.
Nomination
The nomination can be made by any member of the Society. The nomination requires the approval of the author and should be accompanied by two copies of the paper. The nomination is to be accompanied by an electronic (disk or USB) copy of the Doctoral thesis, which will be returned following the selection process.
The nominations should be forwarded to the Secretary of the National Committee following a call for submissions in Australian Geomechanics Journal. Nominations will be called every two years, normally in the alternate year to the EH Davis Memorial Lecture.
The John Jaeger Memorial Award recognises contributions of the highest order over a lifetime commitment to the geotechnical profession in Australia. The award is not restricted to members of the Australian Geomechanics Society.
Nominations
Nominations should be made by at least three persons (not necessarily members) to the Secretary of the National Committee of the Society, following a call for submissions in Australian Geomechanics. This will generally be six months prior to the ANZ Geomechanics Conference at which the award is to be presented.
The AGS Practitioner Award recognises contributions of the highest order over an extended period with a commitment to the geotechnical profession in Australia and the Australian Geomechanics Society.
Nominations
Nominations should be made by at least three persons (not necessarily members) to the Secretary of the National Committee of the Society following a call for submissions in Australian Geomechanics. Nominations must be accompanied by a comprehensive supporting document.
