University of Portsmouth, Geological Society Events, British Geological Survey

Event status:
EVENT CLOSED
A three plus one conference to celebrate 50 years of: teaching and research in Engineering Geology and Geotechnics at the University of Portsmouth and; 50 years of the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology.
The conference will reflect on the contributions made by the University and this important scientific journal to the development of the engineering geology and geotechnics profession in the UK and far beyond. How the profession and academia will change in future years and how practicing engineers can inform and control this change will be considered, with a focus on an important aspect - the relevance of Eurocode 7 to the profession.
A day of talks from leading professionals and academics will consider the role of EC7 in the rock engineering design process and will offer an important opportunity for consultants, contractors and academics to contribute to the ongoing revision of this important design code.
We believe that the conference will present a multitude of opportunities for all parts of the industry (including consultants, contractors and academics) and at all career stages to attend and to contribute to discussions.
A Rock Engineering and EU7 day is also scheduled plus a trip to the Isle of Wight with Eddie Bromhead and Prof. Andy Gale.
Venue
Portland Building, Portsmouth

£50 per day plus extra for evening events
