UPDATE ON 25 MARCH EVENT

We have taken advice from a number of sources and have cancelled the upcoming repeat of the 2019 Geotechnique on 25 March 2020 at the University of Dundee on ”Designing infrastructure for an evolving seabed” by Professor David White due to the virus.

The last talk of the session from the Scottish Ground Engineering Group is being held at the University of Dundee on 25 March 2020 and is a repeat of the 2019 Geotechnique Lecture. It highlights the remaining uncertainties for offshore infrastructure.

@lynma2000 Lynn, thanks for the query. We are not broadcasting this event as it is a repeat of the 2019 Geotechnique lecture, which was recorded for the original event.

Current advice from the university is that it is business as usual, in terms of their activity and they recommend that basic hygiene precautions are followed. If we hear anything we will let you know through this page

The next evening lecture presented by the SGEG is on the topic of ‘Soft soils and mine tailing: Long lost cousins?’ and is taking place at the Hamish Wood Building at Glasgow Caledonian University on 11 February 2020.

It will also be our first venture into broadcasting online.

@lynma2000 Hey Lynn, thanks for the request. This is something that we have been considering as a way to make our events more accessible and I am pleased to say that we will be trialling at our next event in Glasgow.
