Invitation to the Third EAGE/ SUT Workshop on Integrated Site Characterisation for Offshore Wind

Offshore renewable energy is critical to tackling climate change. Understanding the seabed and sub-seabed conditions is vital to develop and accelerate the design and construction of offshore renewable energy. This requires the successful integration of geophysical and geotechnical datasets to provide a 3D understanding of the seabed soils and to facilitate the design and installation process.

To help advance knowledge and provide a platform for sharing the latest developments the EAGE and the SUT are hosting a workshop on 30 April and 1 May 2025 in Newcastle, United Kingdom. The workshop will follow similar successful events in Perth, Australia and Boston, USA which were delegates found to be hugely informative.

We welcome all submissions from the community to showcase the latest researches and best practices in the field. We will also be hosting panel discussions, which delegates found particularly interesting in Perth and Boston and allow a lively exchange of ideas and successful practices.

As a guide the talks should follow the broad them of geophysical and geotechnical survey and application to design and installation following the following broad subject areas:

• Regional setting and regulatory aspects

• Geophysical methods

• Geotechnical methods

• UXO Survey

• Environmental Considerations

• Sediment mobility and scour

• Data integration and ground models

• Cable trenching

• Foundation design and installation

We look forward to seeing you in Newcastle, United Kingdom on 30 April - 1 May 2025!
