The 2020 Kersten Lecture by Prof. Lyesse Laloui
The 2020 Kersten Lecture was given by Lyesse Laloui, on February 27, 2020, at the Geo-Congress of the American Society of Civil Engineering, in Minneapolis, MN, USA. Dr Laloui’s lecture is titled “Energy Geotechnology: A new Era for Geotechnical Engineering Practice.”
Energy geotechnology provides low carbon, cost-effective and local energy solutions to structures and infrastructures, which opens a new era for geotechnical engineering practice, by extending the conventional role of structural design to that of addressing acute energy challenges of our century. The presentation reviews the methodology behind energy geotechnology by highlighting its scope and applications to various geostructures for structural support and energy supply of built environments. Aspects of primary importance for maximizing the energy, geotechnical, and structural performance of energy geostructures and solutions to address this challenge are presented. Moreover, analytical solutions and design tools, as well as performance-based design approaches for energy geostructures are introduced. The final goal being to uncover the potential of energy geotechnology on the path of less dependency on fossil fuels and to emphasize the critical role of geotechnical engineers to take full advantage of this technology.

Academia during the COVID-19 pandemic (survey results)
Vi trasmettiamo un lavoro, a cura del Prof. C. Santamarina e di G. Abelskamp, che esamina le implicazioni del periodo di emergenza COVID-19 sulla didattica e la ricerca del nostro settore.
Dear Colleagues,
the coronavirus pandemic and associated isolation periods have affected all academic activities in every corner of the globe.
The attached essay reports the results of an early study that examines the implications of this period on education and research within the geotechnical and earth science academic communities in four distinct geographical locations. It also includes the results of complementary surveys conducted to explore faculty choices for online education and student preferences.
Do not hesitate to contact us with any comments and feedback.
With best wishes to you all,
Carlos Santamarina
