The 2024 Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference will be hosted by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and held in Chicago from May 28—31, 2024. 

Ghassan Shahin, John Rudnicki, and Giuseppe Buscarnera would like to invite you to contribute to the mini-symposium Advances in Geomechanics and Geophysics for Sub-surface Technology and Natural Hazard (MS 0502). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• multiscale mechanics and multiphysics of geomaterials
• fault mechanics, rock fracturing, and strain localization
• field and laboratory methods
• constitutive, multiscale, and data-driven modelling
• instability theories
• field-scale studies

Abstract submission is now open and will remain open until December 31, 2023. Information on submitting an abstract may be found here.

We hope you will submit an abstract to the conference and meet in Chicago!
