57 centímetros.
Desplazamiento suficiente para una tragedia.
Es simplemente, para la geología, una corteza terrestre que decide cuándo y dónde moverse, aunque para nosotros a escala humana; signifique devastación, luto y mortandad.
Mount Roraima is a spectacular flat table mountain surrounded by sheer cliffs, creating an island floating in the sky on the plains of the Gran Sabana (the Great Savannah), a large part of southeastern Venezuela. The mountain is the highest of the Pakaraima chain of tepuis in South America. Covered with unique structures, animals, and plants found nowhere else on earth, this unique table-top mountain is a prehistoric island.
The Gran Sabana is known to the indigenous Pemon Amerindian people as Wek-tá (the "place of mountains"). The mountains, plains, and forests of the Gran Sabana are protected by the Canaima National Park, located in the south of Bolívar State on the Venezuelan-Brazilian border, around 1,400 km from Caracas.
The region is home to the indigenous Pemon people, who have established several small communities dotted around the Gran Sabana such as Kavac and Kamarata. The Pemon people have their own language, known as Pemon, and they have their own culture, customs, and traditions.
💥NTNU's Geotechnical Group offers a PhD course in Soil Modelling in Trondheim/Norway👩🎓👨🎓
⏲14.10.-18.10.2024
@NTNUIBM
Together with Gustav Grimstad and Seyed Ali Ghoreishian Amiri, we want to provide a background for developing and applying soil constitutive models.
Nous inaugurons aujourd’hui notre plus important complexe hydroélectrique depuis la Baie-James, le complexe de la Romaine. Avec ses quatre centrales hydroélectriques maintenant en service, ce complexe d’une puissance installée de 1 550 MW produit 8 TWh par an, ce qui est suffisant pour alimenter 470 000 foyers.
Il fournit une #énergie propre, renouvelable, fiable et stable, qui contribuera directement à la transition énergétique.
The 2023 Buchanan Lecturer is Dr. Marc Ballouz and the lecture is entitled “Geotechnical Engineering Marriage between Theory and Practice.”

A video will be posted afterwards for those who are unable to attend.
WHY do we divide by n-1 when computing the sample variance?
I've never seen this way of explaining this concept anywhere else.
Read on if you want a completely new way of looking at this.
Newsbreak: The shear strength of granular materials is independent of changes in the grain size distribution (GSD)!
We settle this debate on grain size effects experimentally, confirming the previous findings achieved through numerical DEM simulations.

On poursuit la couverture de #AcfasC215 avec les défis des habitats lunaires!
Défi : S'assurer d'avoir des infrastructures lunaires résilientes.
Pour @Pooneh_Maghoul de @polymtl, on doit absolument s'y intéresser. Les principaux facteurs à considérer👇

@Morales220876@saintloyal La demanda no fue por su investigación, sino por la forma de obtener y usar financiamiento federal en una empresa a la que estaba afiliado. El Prof. Wen no fue preso, y su trabajo en bioasfaltos es muy reconocido. Recibió la Fellowship de la ASCE en 2022: https://t.co/nOPE0Z3wfJ
