Name: | IAEG XII - Engineering Geology for Society and Territory |
---|---|
Description: | Description: In the next few years, major effects over territorial planning and infrastructures will be due to the global change particularly evident in extreme climate regions. Climate changes also affects natural processes related to slope dynamics, water courses, coastal and marine environments: all these phenomena are case studies for Engineering Geology. An important goal of the XII International IAEG Congress is to promote and increase the relationships between scientists and engineering geology professional operators (Owners, Design Firms and Contractors). The integration of the two worlds will have helpful effects on surveys, design procedures, construction and monitoring techniques. The cooperation between research and practice will lead to a development of the Society through the creation of new patents, licenses, spin offs and joined and sponsored researches. The Congress will also offer an extraordinary opportunity for scientists, companies and agencies to meet and improve together the current state of Engineering Geology. For this purpose keynote lectures will be delivered by both academic representatives and professional operators. |
