Events & Courses

Following the completion of the Engineering Group Working Party Report on Engineering Geology and Geomorphology of Glaciated and Periglaciated Terrains, this meeting will expand on the glacial landsystem.

The day will examine some of the glacial deposits and their associated structures that have been encountered within more recent ground investigations in off-shore, near shore and onshore environments.  The importance of understanding past depositional environments in relation to both designing ground investigations and deriving ground models is illustrated. 

Presentations on examples of complex depositional structures and glaciotectonic deformation from the the Dogger Bank and the Southern North Sea area are included.  Engineering case-studies related to the construction of off-shore structures including wind farm developments from around the UK and Europe are anticipated.
