Dear All,
We sent an application some months ago, later approved, about the Session 3.4 @ the next WLF6 (https://wlf6.org/forum-themes/#section-6322ba0-3) to be held in Sept 2023, in Florence.
The WLF6 call for abstracts is open.
The abstract submission is only possible online at the following link:
https://wlf6.org/submission/
The deadline is 28 February 2023.
All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific committee after the submission deadline. Acceptance will be notified to the presenting author within 15 May 2023.
We need to promote WLF6 abstract submission and to invite researchers to join Session 3.4: https://wlf6.org/forum-themes/#section-6322ba0-3

A postdoc position is open in the Soil MicroMechanics group at the University of Twente (Netherlands) on the topic “Bio-inspired burrowing robot for soil penetration in limited-access sites”.
The project involves the design, instrumentation and realization of a prototype probe for underground inspection and soil characterization.
The postdoc will work in a multidisciplinary team, in close contact with experts in the sector of soft robotics. He/She will closely collaborate with another postdoc on the geotechnical and geomechanics aspects of the project.
Applications are expected before 15 March 2023. For more and information and application, please follow the link
“EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND SATURATION ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF CALLOVO-OXFORDIAN CLAYSTONE”
Continue readingDear Colleagues,
We would like to announce an extended deadline of 28th February for the extended abstracts for the Symposium on Energy Geotechnics (SEG23) which will be held in Delft, 3-5 October 2023, organised under the auspices of the ISSMGE Technical Committee 308.
Please find more details of the conference on our conference and how to submit your extended abstract on our website: https://seg23.dryfta.com/. To encourage debate on the latest findings, we invite extended abstracts only (which will be peer reviewed), which will be published open access with their own digital online identifier (doi). No full-length papers will be requested.
You can submit your extended abstract to one of our general sessions or one of the mini symposia which are listed below:
We are also delighted to announce that there will be two special issues based on contributions to the symposium in the highly regarded international journals: Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment and Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology. Invitations will be extended to authors to extend their extended abstract into papers. The selection process will be announced in due course.
We look forward to welcoming you to Delft!
Best regards,
The SEG23 organising committee
Applications are invited for a fully-funded three-year PhD to commence in October 2023.
The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Science and Health at University of Portsmouth, and will be supervised by Dr Arash Azizi, Dr Nick Koor and Dr Philip Benson. The project will be carried out in collaboration with University of Durham (Led by Prof. David Toll, up to 1 year placement) and Ramboll (up to 6 months placement).
