With ever increasing energy demand and related climate change
implications, the development of sustainable energy systems based on
integrated schemes of energy production, transport, transfer, and
storage is an important challenge to society. The broad and emerging
area of Energy Geotechnics has the potential to address this challenge
from multiple perspectives. Energy Geotechnics integrates concepts
from geotechnical engineering and geomechanics with cross-disciplinary
collaborations with geology, hydrology, geophysics, geochemistry,
petroleum engineering, and energy policy.Building upon the 1st
International Conference on Energy Geotechnics held in Kiel, Germany,
this conference will provide a platform for interaction,
communication, and technology transfer for academic and non-academic
parties, including researchers and practitioners, in the broad areas
within Energy Geotechnics. The conference will include the 1st ISSMGE
Energy Geotechnics Honour Lecture, keynote addresses, technical
sessions following the conference themes, and minisymposia organized
by TC308 Committee Task Force leaders.
The San Diego area offers various research institutions, government
organizations, and companies in the Energy Geotechnics field and is an
excellent location for international research exchange. It is a very
convenient place to travel with favorable weather.
