The registration for the ALERT Geomaterials Workshop and School 2015 is open now (the programme of the workshop and school is still preliminary)! You can register using the form at https://alertgeomaterials.eu/forms/registration_2015.html. Please read the hints in the registration form! After filling the form and pressing the button “Register”, a window will open with your invoice. Please print the window with the invoice for your records! You will also get an email with the registration data afterwards. In case of the registration of the ALERT members, the corresponding representative of the ALERT institution will receive the registration data too.

The deadline for the registration is the September 20th! The accomodation in Aussois will be processed in the order of the registrations (see the hints in the registration form). Please note that the number of rooms in the CNRS “Centre Paul Langevin“ is limited.

The 2nd German Soil Mechanics Conference (2. Deutsche Bodenmechanik Tagung) will take place 19 May 2015 at Ruhr-Universität in Bochum, Germany.
Established two years ago in 2013 the conference gives attention to recent topics and brings together young scientists with experienced researchers from the soil mechanics community. This year the one-day-conference is divided into three sessions, which are entitled „Material behaviour and constitutive modelling“, „Soil as a mulitphase system“ and „Soil Mechanics: Application and Challenges“. Although the general conference language is German, invited lectures will be given in English language. For more details please visit the conference webpage (http://www.gbf.rub.de/bodenmechaniktagung2015.html) or download the attached flyer.

Special issue in Soil-Atmosphere Interaction

Following on from a mini-symposium on Soil-Atmosphere Interaction at the IACMAG (http://www.iacmag.net/#!conferences/c1f4i) conference, a themed issue of Environmental Geotechnics is being planned.

In spite of soil-atmosphere interaction providing the boundary condition to many surface and near surface geotechnical infrastructure, detailed knowledge and modelling of the processes remain rather poor, and still deserve new research and development. Contributions are being sought on aspects of Soil-Atmosphere Interaction such as wetting/drying, unsaturated transport, soil desiccation, vegetation, freeze/thaw, and on any engineering application influenced by such processes.

Abstract submission has been extended to be open until 15th April 2015, with full papers anticipated to be submitted by June. Please see the attached advert for submission details.
