We are pleased to share the Call for Contributions for the 7th World Landslide Forum (WLF-7), to be held in November 2026 in Faridabad, India.

The World Landslide Forum is the flagship triennial event of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL), organised with UNESCO and international partners, bringing together experts to advance landslide risk reduction.

We are honoured to convene Session 5.8 – Landslides in Partially Saturated Slopes under Theme 5, together with Josip Peranić, Zeljko Arbanas, Sabatino Cuomo, and Beena Ajmera.

We invite contributions on landslides, slope stability, and related topics from both researchers and practitioners.

Dear all,

This is a brief message to encourage your contributions to a Géotechnique themed issue entitled: Time-dependent soil behaviour in multi-coupled problems: fundamentals and applications.

This themed issue invites contributions aimed at exploring viscous effects and soil structural evolutions taking place over time and impacting the performance of geotechnical structures and infrastructures throughout and beyond their design lifetime.

Full details can be found at the following link:
https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/calls-for-papers/geotechnique-special-issue-time-dependent-soil-behaviour-multi-coupled-problems

The key deadlines include:
• Monday 4 May 2026 (abstract submissions)
• Monday 7 September 2026 (manuscript submissions)

With our kindest regards,

The Géotechnique Journal, Emerald Publishing

From July 20–24, 2026, an intensive international course on Seismic Design of Port Structures will be held in Pavia at the EUCENTRE Foundation. The course is organized by Prof. Carlo G. Lai (University of Pavia) and Dr. Carlos E. Ospina (Moffatt & Nichol, USA).

Ports are critical components of global trade and transportation systems, and earthquakes such as Kaikōura (2016) and Kahramanmaraş (2023) have demonstrated how seismic events can severely disrupt port operations.

The course stems from the activities of PIANC MarCom Working Group 225, which is updating the international guidelines for the seismic design of port structures. Its objective is to provide participants with a rigorous understanding of the seismic behavior and performance-based design of port infrastructure.

Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the new PIANC Guidelines. The course is intended for engineers, researchers, and graduate students involved in the design and assessment of port infrastructure.

This practical two-day workshop equips participants with the skills and knowledge to collect, analyse and apply Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) data for ground investigations and geotechnical engineering design. You will gain hands-on experience using Pagani TG 63-150 CPT equipment and leave with the confidence to interpret CPT data for engineering applications.

This workshop will provide certificates to attendees and will provide 16 hours of CPD, making it an ideal workshop for graduates, and those looking to upskill in geotechnical investigations. This is the only workshop that allows attendees to both collect and analyse CPT data and apply the collected data to geotechnical engineering design.

Dates: 21-22 May 2026

Location: Abertay University, Bell Street, Dundee, DD1 1HG

Cost: £499 (VAT Exempt)
