Research and Development

Responding to climate change through geotechnical engineering research 

Geotechnical engineers contribute to the development of renewable energy resources. They look at foundations for offshore wind turbines, integration of ground source heat exchangers in building foundations, rock drilling and fracturing in enhanced geothermal systems, plus more. This webinar discusses how net-zero emission conditions will require geotechnical research advances to support reliable large-scale terrestrial/geological carbon sequestration and mineralisation.
