Energy Geotechnics Webinar Series
On behalf of the organisers, Budi Zhao (University College Dublin) and Zhongxuan Yang (Zhejiang University), we invite you to an Energy Geotechnics Webinar Series (weekly or biweekly from Sep to Dec, 2021).
The webinar series aims to promote Energy Geotechnics research and will cover the following topics:
• Offshore foundation
• Carbon geological storage
• Shallow/deep geothermal
• Nuclear waste disposal
• Methane hydrate
The first three speakers are:
Prof. Antonio Gens on nuclear waste disposal (10 am, CEST, 10th Sep, Friday): Tencent Meeting Link – https://meeting.tencent.com/s/tITpCHS2SQ1S
Prof. Richard Jardine on offshore foundation (10 am, CEST, 20th Sep, Monday): Tencent Meeting Link – https://meeting.tencent.com/dm/cJS4AkWDfI5W?rs=25
Prof. Holger Ott on carbon geological storage (10 am, CEST, 8th Oct, Friday): Tencent Meeting Link – https://meeting.tencent.com/dm/ogu2z0Mai22j?rs=25
“Masterclass course” for MSc and MEng students on Offshore Geophysics and Geotechnical Engineering – Imperial College (London)
Since 2010 the Imperial College Geotechnics Group has been arranging, along with the Society for Underwater Technology, a one day “Masterclass course” to be given on Offshore Geophysics and Geotechnical Engineering at Imperial College.
This year, the course will be held over two days remotely on MS Teams and we are very pleased to be able to extend the invitation to attend (usually restricted to UK participants) to MSc and final year MEng students from selected European universities.
The dates for this year’s course have been set for Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th June 2021, from 12.00pm to 3.00pm on Wednesday and from 12.00pm to 4.00pm on Thursday (programme attached).
The course will be free to all MSc and MEng students who register with us by mid-May.

Two Postdoctoral positions at the Hainan institute of Zhejiang University (China)
The Hainan Institute of Zhejiang University invites applications for two postdoctoral positions in Geotechnical Engineering. The Institute seeks applicants in all areas of Geotechnical Engineering with representative examples including but not limited to: offshore geotechnics, numerical and physically modelling of geo-materials. All candidates with advanced experience in experimental (particularly centrifuge modelling), field, computational, or a combination of these geotechnical capabilities will be considered. There are currently two postdoctoral positions at the Hainan institute of Zhejiang University funded by the institute in the year of 2021.
About the Institute: Zhejiang University, one of the top universities in Asia, is one of the earliest institutions of higher education in China. It ranks 53th according to QS World University Rankings 2020.
Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in Engineering, Science or other relevant discipline and have the ability to build an independent, externally funded research program at the forefront of their field.
Research topics: The research institute mainly focus on the geotechnical problems in offshore geotechnics, particularly in the areas relating to characterization and modelling of marine sediments (including gas hydrate bearing sediments), offshore foundations, pipeline geotechnics and offshore geo-hazards.
Closing date for applications: 31 Dec 2020
Contacts: Please submit a C.V. including two academic references letters to Dr Yi Hong (yi_hong@zju.edu.cn).
