We invite abstract submissions to our EGU27 session:
“Bio-Mediated, Bio-Inspired, and Bio-Based Solutions for Sustainable Geotechnics and Construction”
(Vienna & Online, 4–9 April 2027 – SSS | Co-organised with BG, ERE4, GI1, NH)

This session explores biological processes, bio-inspiration, and earthen geomaterials across scales. We welcome experimental, imaging (e.g. X-ray CT), numerical, and LCA contributions covering:
• Bio-inspired subsurface locomotion & self-burrowing robotics
• Root & organism biomechanics, anchorage & slope stabilization
• Bio-mediated ground improvement (MICP, EICP, biopolymers, bio-grouting)
• Bio-stabilised earthen construction materials & durability
• Sustainability assessments (LCA, LCCA, S-LCA)

Early Career Scientists are strongly encouraged to submit!

Conveners: Floriana Anselmucci (Lead), Fernando Patiño Ramirez, Tomoya Nagayama, Magda Posani, Joao Santos.

Deadline:12/01/27
