Early bird accommodation — complete your reservation until 1st March! During the 6th International Conference on Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization (to be held in Budapest between 7-11 September, 2020.) accomodation booking is provided for participants, exhibitors and sponsors as one of the main services. Please find the link with detailed information here. Kindly be informed that at the time of the conference there will be another event in Budapest starting at the end of the week which attracts around 100,000 people so hotel trade of Budapest expect full houses in all hotels. For these reasons and for your convenience we advise to book your accomodation as soon as possible to avoid reservation rejection later. We offer the following hotels to…
The Western Australia Chapter of the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) is pleased to announce a one day symposium on “West Australian Geotechnics and Geology”. Western Australia’s construction industry is currently booming. Investment in public infrastructure, mining and offshore developments is growing. Economical and safe geotechnical design requires efficient and well thought through ground investigation and characterisation to identify and manage ground risks and opportunities. This symposium will present overviews of current state of-the-art practices, innovation, new research relating to WA geology and case studies of WA projects. There will be an emphasis on its implications for addressing and managing design and construction risk. The symposium will bring together professional engineers, researchers, specialist contractors, regulators, educators and students to share and discuss their…

18th Glossop Medal Lecture: Variability and ground hazards: how does the ground get to be unexpected.
Posted:
Australian lectures cancelled Please note that due to health reasons, the Australia presentations of the Glossop Medal Lecture have been cancelled. If there are any updates or the situation changes, news will be posted to the website. The Glossop Award and Lecture was established in 1997 as the most prestigious lecture of the Engineering Group of the Geological Society, to be presented by an invited eminent engineering geologist. The 18th Glossop Medal was awarded to Jackie Skipper (BSc, PhD, DIC, CGeol.) for her lecture: Variability and ground hazards: how does the ground get to be unexpected. When something goes wrong in a civil engineering project, ‘unexpected ground conditions’ are often blamed. Natural variability of the ground can indeed be the…
