2nd International Workshop on Geomechanics and Energy will be held in Brussels (Belgium) on 3-5 November 2015, under the auspices of EAGE. More details in pdf.

A new Elsevier journal entitled GEOMECHANICS FOR ENERGY and the ENVIRONMENT (GETE) has been established.
The scope of the journal is designed as broad, emphasizing fundamental concepts in multi-phase geomechanics and mechanics of porous media, the experiments and analysis of novel phenomena and applications. In terms of areas of specific technologies, it encourages research manuscripts covering geomechanics for natural and enhanced geothermal energy, geological solutions in disposal, storage and retrieval of nuclear, hazardous and domestic waste, resource engineering and mining, conventional and unconventional petroleum engineering, natural gas geotechnologies, geological sequestration of carbon dioxide and methane, methane hydrate technology, and any possible new energy technologies involving geomaterials.

A workshop on electric and electromagnetic measurement methods in civil and environmental engineering will take place on the 2nd and 3rd October in Brisbane, Australia. More details in the flyer.

Mini-Symposium on Mechanics of Granular Media will be organised at ESMC 2015 in Madrid, see pdf-file.

A course on hypoplasticity taught by D. Masin will take place at Charles University in Prague, 16-17. 9. 2014. The course will first introduce fundamentals of soil constitutive modeling, then basics of hypoplasticity formulation and subsequently the lectures will focus on proper calibration of two particular models: model for sands and model for clays. The course will end with discussion of examples of practical applications of hypoplastic models. More details, including the course outline and the speaker profile, can be found at
