Mechanics – the key to unlocking subsurface resources for energy supply and storage

Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) have published a short article mentioning activity of Laboratory of Soil Mechanics on their blog. The article was devoted to recent conference organized by LMS, namely The International Symposium on Energy Geotechnics. The conference underscored the importance of experimental geomechanics for the benefit of industries dedicated to energy geostructures, induced seismicity, gas hydrate sediments, nuclear waste disposal and CO2-storage. Prominent, internationally recognized specialists opened each day with a set of keynote lectures.
