We are delighted to invite you to speak in our mini-symposium, Acoustic Waves and Effective Mechanical Properties in Granular Media – the Mircromechanical Perspective, at the 14th World Congress in Computational Mechanics (https://www.wccm-eccomas2020.org/frontal/) to be held next July in Paris, FR.
The aim of the symposium is to bring together a broad range of specialists in the experimental, numerical simulation and theoretical modelling of granular materials in order to facilitate valuable knowledge exchange, and form fruitful new collaborations between modellers and experimentalists. A full description of the symposium can be found in the link given below:

A session on Instabilities and multi-physical processes in geomaterials (Session ID: 81743) is going to be held at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting on 9-13 December 2019 in San Francisco. Abstract submissions are open and the deadline for all submissions is Wednesday, 31 July at 23:59 EDT.
https://www2.agu.org/fall-meeting
We look forward to receiving your abstract.
Session Description:
There is an increasing understanding in the scientific community that multi-physical mechanisms are present and fundamental to understand the behavior of Geomaterials at natural conditions. When at depth for example, high temperatures and pressures can activate different coupled mechanisms at the origin of instabilities like strain localization, fracture, etc. In addition, the high velocities reached during seismic slips also involve various mechanisms that are difficult to observe and understand. Finally, operational Geomechanics for energy extraction and storage are increasingly facing challenges that require multi-physical considerations to be solved. Examples include unconventional energy production, Geothermal, CO2 storage and nuclear waste disposal, with particular emphasis required in studying the interaction of a fluid with Geomaterials in chemically active conditions. In this session we aim at convening contributions dealing with all (numerical, theoretical, experimental, in-situ) aspects of geomaterials, emphasizing the role of multi-physical effects in the response and stability of Geomaterials.
