The XIV Congress of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment will be held in Chengdu Century City New International Convention and Exhibition Center, Chengdu, China from September 21 to 27, 2023. Based on the theme of “Engineering Geology for a Habitable Earth”, the congress expects to enhance the disciplinary and research development of international engineering geology and the environment, and contributes to the advancement of major projects, ecological progress, and habitable earth with research and discussion in global climate change mitigation and adaption, geological hazard assessment and prevention, geotechnical properties of rock and soil mass, engineering geology applied to traffic, energy, urban and marine, ecological environment protection in major projects, and artificial intelligence, new theories and technologies in engineering geology, etc. We…
The next journal issue will be published in late-March 2023, and we are calling for papers from risk and resilience management professionals who would like to share their experience and insights with their colleagues. Aligning with the Australian CIS (Cyber and Infrastructure Security) Conference 2023, the theme for this edition is “Cyber Security & Critical Infrastructure” – and we are looking to publish 18 papers in total. Papers will be chosen based on the grounds of relevance, quality, and significance. Papers may also be chosen, at the editor’s discretion, for inclusion in future journal issues. Deadline for Submission The deadline for submissions is Friday 24th February 2023. Submissions can either be opinion pieces or peer-reviewed articles, guidelines for which are…

A message from Dr Marc Ballouz, President of ISSMGE, regarding the earthquake in Turkey
Posted:
Our dear geoengineers in Turkey and Syria, as president of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, on behalf of the ISSMGE Board and geotechnical engineers around the globe, I like to express our sincere condolences and sympathy to the victims, their families, and your people suffering amid this devastating tragedy. This disaster shows how far we still are from providing a safe environment in earthquake zones and understanding nature. I like to assure you that you are part of the geotechnical family; and to Dr. Rasin Duzceer and Dr. Talal Awad, presidents of the national geotechnical societies of Turkey and Syria, respectively, I am expressing our collegial solidarity and readiness to dispatch experts from member countries should…
EEGS / AEG 2023 Virtual Symposium on “Life of Mine – Maintaining Sustainability Through Geoscience”
Posted:
The Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS) and the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (AEG) are convening an online virtual platform symposium over 2 half-days in May, 2023 on “Life of Mine – Maintaining Sustainability Through Geoscience”. 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.
