FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT - INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
CHALLENGES FOR ENGINEERING GEOLOGY
AND GEOTECHNICS AFTER NATURAL DISASTERS
(11 YEARS LATER)
Bulgarian national group of IAEG, the Bulgarian national
group ISSMGE have the pleasure to invite you to the
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM - CHALLENGES FOR
ENGINEERING GEOLOGY AND GEOTECHNICS AFTER
NATURAL DISASTERS
Introduction
The terrifying natural disasters
in the past few years have affected
almost all continents and resulted in
huge human losses and material
damage. Environmental disasters
happened in a lot of areas. Due to this
the engineering geological conditions
are being changed. As a result the
construction of new geo-protective
facilities,
now
require
huge
geotechnical and financial resources.
Unfortunately, even the richest
countries were not prepared to avoid
the consequences of such accidents.
The joint efforts of engineering
geologists,
geotechnical specialists
and government organizations is
crucial in these critical situations. We
sincerely hope that this Symposium
will contribute to the development of
international cooperation and the
sharing of solutions in the fight against
natural disasters.
