EGU 2025 – Vienna, Austria – 27 April-2 May 2025

Dear Colleagues,
prof. Manuela Cecconi and other researchers are proposing a session on nature-based and bio-based or inspired solutions to mitigate the effects of landslides and erosion at EGU25 – European Geosciences Union, which will be held in Vienna from April 27 to May 2, 2025.
The objective of the session is to stimulate the interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge on nature-based (such as use of vegetation, capillary barriers, …), bio-based (such as MICP calcite induced by microbial activities, biopolymers, …) or bio-inspired (root-shaped anchors for soil reinforcement, …) solutions for the mitigation of risks related to hydro-geological disasters, with particular attention to landslides and erosion on slopes and streambanks.

Contributions will range from:
– experimental studies (lab and field testing or monitoring)
– numerical analyses and upscaling of results
– tools, design approaches, best practices, manuals, and guidelines
– National and European policies
– case studies and soil bioengineering applications

The session has been organized by
Vittoria Capobianco, Alessandro Fraccica, Manuela Cecconi, Zhun Mao, Anthony Leung.
(NGI – Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, ISPRA – Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research, University of Perugia – Italy, INRAE – French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology)

More information and the session description can be found in the attached flyer and here: Session NH3.13
The deadline for submission of abstracts is January 15, 2025 – 13:00 CET.
Further information on abstract submission is available at: EGU25 – How to submit an abstract

AGERP’21 Lecture series (update)

The AGERPAdvancements in Geotechnical Engineering: from Research to Practice – Organising Committee invites you to a lecture series which aims to disseminate the coupled learnings from academia and industry on some of the key topics in geotechnical engineering. It is a pro bono initiative, and the lectures are free to attend.
More information at: https://www.age-rp.com/

The sixth lecture will be on ‘Design of Foundations‘. Both the talks of this Lecture will be delivered by Emeritus Professor Harry Poulos (University of Sydney, Australia).

Lecture 6 is scheduled to be hosted in two separate sessions on 23rd September 2021 and 24th September 2021 (Australian Eastern Standard Time-AEST) with registration closing at 00:00, 22nd September 2021 (AEST).

You may find further info. and register (free but mandatory) here: https://www.age-rp.com/
