5th International Workshop on Rock Mechanics and Engineering Geology in Volcanic Fields – September 9-11, 2021 Fukuoka, Japan
Il 5th International Workshop on Rock Mechanics and Engineering Geology in Volcanic Fields si terrà a Fukuoka (Giappone) nel settembre 2021. Promosso dalle Associazioni Internazionali ISRM e IAEG, segue l’analogo Workshop svolto ad Ischia nel settembre 2015.
On behalf of the Japanese Society for Rock Mechanics and the Japan Society of Engineering Geology, the Organizing Committe is pleased to hold “RMEGV2021: 5th International Workshop on Rock Mechanics and Engineering Geology in Volcanic Fields”.
The goals of this workshop are to promote the exchange of ideas and information among civil engineers and geologists regarding serious issues related to volcanic fields, and to find possible solutions to them, as well as to aid in the fusion of Civil Engineering and Geology in terms of applied volcanic science, including construction, environment, groundwater, disasters, and geothermal energy. Many resources can be found in the vicinity of volcanic fields, such as hydro-geothermal energy and groundwater. On the other hand, many natural disasters and other risks to infrastructure construction also exist due to the geoscientific and geotechnical features in these areas. Thus, civil engineers and engineering geologists strive to solve these problems based on the existing data on volcanic fields.
The themes of this workshop include volcanic geology, disasters and their mitigation, resources and energy in volcanic fields, mechanical behavior of volcanic rocks and soils, groundwater and environmental problems in volcanic fields, and geotechnical engineering in volcanic fields. It is our hope that many researchers/engineers involved in applied volcanic science will attend this workshop from all over the world, participate in deeply meaningful discussions, and create new global research connections.

IARG rimandato al 2021
Carissimi Ricercatori,
considerato il perdurare dell’emergenza sanitaria, per consentire al nostro Gruppo l’abituale ampia e serena partecipazione, lo IARG è rimandato al 2021. Si terrà, come approvato dall’assemblea nell’ambito di IARG2019, presso l’Università della Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”, presumibilmente a settembre 2021. Sarà preceduto da una Scuola di Dottorato sulla sperimentazione di laboratorio, organizzata dalla stessa Università L. Vanvitelli assieme all’Università di Napoli Federico II. Per l’autunno 2020, la Giunta GNIG ha in programma l’organizzazione di una Scuola di Dottorato on-line su cui vi daremo presto più informazioni.
