Geo-Congress 2014: Geo-Characterization and Modeling for Sustainability

Description:

What does sustainability in geotechnical engineering really mean? How will sustainable designs impact the future of the geo-profession? What are the latest practices and research in the geotechnical and geo-profession? Can efficient geotechnical approaches be sustainable approaches? Can geotechnical practice transform itself to reflect life-cycle concepts needed for asset management while meeting the principles of sustainability? Are you ready to adapt to the innovative approaches now being required for projects?

Come learn what the experts have to report about these most relevant topics. The Geo-Institute's 2014 annual congress will be packed with extremely useful and relevant technical and career information covering the broad spectrum of the geo-profession and how it is affected by the issues of sustainability.

Hundreds of industry leaders, your peers and mentors, will help you explore the barely-charted territory of sustainable geotechnical engineering and integrate the best and most current thinking in your business practices. Design the program that's right for you by selecting your personalized learning opportunities from a wide variety of sessions such as:
