Special Session Challenges of Nearshore Landfall Investigation

Date:

5 September 2023

Time:

14:00 - 15:20 BST 16:10 - 17:30 BST

Room:

Kilsyth

A collaborative session to highlight key challenges of investigating nearshore ground conditions and potential solutions to overcome these issues. Ground investigation at landfall sites commonly suffer a data gap between the near shore geotechnical and geophysical surveys undertaken from vessels limited by water depth and the onshore site investigation which cannot access shallow waters. In some markets providing data within this zone is critical for consenting. For many sites intertidal zones present geological complexity and the need for continuous data is crucial to inform landfall design.

Special Session:
Rocky Road to Success

Hosted by Women in Geoscience

Date:

Wednesday 12 September 2024

Time:

11:10 - 12:10

Room:

Tivoli

The panel discussion, “Rocky Road to Success,” hosted by WGE EAGE, will delve into the diverse and often challenging paths toward success. Recognizing that success takes on different meanings for different people, we will maintain a broad and inclusive definition throughout the conversation. Our discussion will center around three key themes: first, we’ll explore the criteria for success, embracing the varied ways it can be understood. Next, we’ll tackle the obstacles and challenges individuals face on their journey, from personal struggles to broader systemic barriers. Finally, we’ll examine the conditions necessary for achieving success and share actions and strategies to create a more equal and less rocky road for all.
