Project managers Off Shore Wind Energy, Netherlands Enterprise Agency

De-risking soil conditions in Offshore Wind Energy 

The Dutch Government has a significant role in the development of Offshore Wind Energy. Governmental body Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) is responsible for executing the site studies and for the permit tender to build and operate a wind farm. In defining site conditions RVO has set new standards with cutting-edge techniques. RVO will present her approach and aims at challenging the EAGE community in defining next steps to come to further improvements. Read more...

Seismic Surface Wave Tomography from Active and Passive Data

Surface wave analysis has become a very popular seismic characterization method in the last two decades in various field of environment and engineering. Most of the applications are based on multichannel analysis to obtain local dispersion curves which are inverted for local 1D VS models. On the other hand, in the field of global and regional seismology, surface wave generated by earthquakes or other sources of ambient noise are traditionally used in tomographic frameworks to map the velocity distribution in the earth crust. Read more...

Characteristics of landslides in Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina

In this presentation, Jun Sugawara will share his experience gained during his work associated with many landslides which occurred in Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2014. He will describe the nature and significance of the damage sustained by this area, along with the landslide mechanism and the potential mitigation measures which will be useful in this area. Read more...
