PhD position at Lulea Sweden

The research group soil mechanics has an open PhD position about stabilization of sulfide soil.
Soil Mechanics includes soil mechanics, soil materials engineering and foundation engineering). The research addresses e.g. dams and dam construction in the short and long term (hydroelectric and mine dams), environmental geoengineering (use of residual products, dredging, handling of dredged sediments, landfill design, sedimentation and erosion), cold climate engineering (freeze and thaw, frost heave, permafrost and snow mechanics), advanced soil mechanics (mechanical properties of sulfide soil, organic soil and tailings, etc.) as well as road and railway geotechnology. Environmental geotechniques e.g. stabilization and use of acid sulfate soil in construction, is a growing issue in connection to the construction of large infrastructure in Northern Sweden.

Georest workshop on induced seismicity

Victor Vilarrasa and his team at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies in Mallorca, Spain, are happy to announce the GEoREST workshop on induced seismicity from 11-13 March 2024. They are accepting abstracts until the 20th of January.

This workshop aims at fostering debate on the latest advances in process understanding, subsurface characterization and forecasting of induced seismicity. They welcome contributions from the academia and industry alike in topics ranging from, but not limited to numerical modeling, laboratory experiments, field studies, application of AI in induced seismicity, etc. They welcome contributions in the form of both posters and oral presentations that broadly fit into the following sessions:

Session 1: Understanding of the causes of induced seismicity

Session 2: Post-injection seismicity: Can we forecast it?

Session 3: Subsurface characterization 

Session 4: Forecasting induced seismicity

Session 5: Case studies of induced seismicity
