ETS is a part of the interdisciplinary team in GRID consortium GRID Geotechnical Resilience through Intelligent Design. Geotechnical engineering has long grappled with three inherent challenges: uncertainty stemming from incomplete knowledge, heterogeneity arising from diverse geomaterial compositions, geological processes and settings, and nonlinearity resulting from complex interactions. The compounding effects of climate change exacerbate these challenges, impeding traditional analytical and numerical approaches in accurately predicting geomaterial behaviour, crucial for designing resilient infrastructure, decision-making and conducting effective risk assessments. To surmount these obstacles, our research initiative advocates for a pioneering approach to fill the knowledge gap that integrates physics and machine learning in the form of Geotechnical Resilience through Intelligent Design. The GRID Proposal Approved by EU After a successful evaluation with a total score of 90.60%, the European Commission granted GRID €1.4 million in funding on May 14, 2024. The signing of the Grant Agreement by all #partners is currently underway. The official project start is planned for this coming November. ETS will be help the #tunnelling and #geohazards work packages thanks with the innovation worldwide recognized know-how of ARCHITA, MIRET and hydrogeological mapping. https://lnkd.in/dT4mSFAS #Geotechnical #Resilience #Design

Last week was a big week for CCS with the first ever UK carbon storage permit being awarded by the NSTA for Endurance. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero issued an economic licence that also allows Net Zero North Sea Storage Limited to start installing infrastructure on the site. A pivotal moment in the quest to inject CO2 into the subsurface in the UK and, for geoscientists looking to further understand the geological intricacies of the Triassic carbon stores, why not join us in the field next May - details below.
