The primary objective of this symposium is to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration among professionals who are engaged in implementing digitalization technologies and machine learning algorithms in geoscience applications. The joint effort of AAPG, EAGE and SEG societies aims to set up industry standards on reproducible AI and distribute key solutions on: data standardization and optimization, data quality, storage and model accuracy assessment, performance profiling, code optimizations, pervasive real-time and remote monitoring and more for advanced prototyping and delivery. We will explore diverse schools of thought, discuss advantages and limitations, compare results, and debate emerging approaches in the realm of artificial intelligence and digitalization as applied to geosciences. This symposium will focus on the utilization and evaluation of subsurface data not the implementation of digital infrastructure and strategies.

The Arctic is warming almost 4 times faster than the rest of the globe. Yet how Arctic climate change will evolve remains highly uncertain, as there are large discrepancies in the projections from different climate models. A significant contributor to this uncertainty is our poor understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions in the Arctic and thus their poor representation in the models. The cloud-aerosol puzzle is a rather complex problem, affected by several physical and chemical processes that span various scales. An important focus of the workshop will be on the relative role of anthropogenic air pollution vs the role of marine aerosols in the Arctic cloud lifecycle.

Civil Engineering Projects within Ohio River Valley and surrounding areas are significantly impacted by water. Geotechnical Engineers are constantly evaluating water-related problems on their projects based on the published theories of water related to Soil and Rock Mechanics. Research has been undertaken relative to the impact water has on strength, compressibility, permeability, scour potential, slope stability, , etc. Geotechnical Practitioners must apply the knowledge about the presence or absence of water to evaluate slope stability, bearing capacities of shallow foundations, intermediate foundations (mats), and deep foundations (piles, shafts, micropiles, etc.). Water control features such as dams, levees, etc. and waterfront developments require an assessment of water flow, erosive characteristics, etc. to evaluate adequate strength parameters for the retaining features.

Showcasing the Role of Geomechanics for Sustainability and Energy Efficiency, the conference will provide a top tier platform to exchange geomechanics knowledge and experience, to connect global expertise and know-how with regional challenges, and to provide world-class training to young professionals and students. The technical program will cover a wide range of geomechanics applications in energy storage, CO2 sequestration, petroleum, mining, geothermal, geotechnics, and environmental, present latest know-hows in rock characterization, in-situ stress, pore pressure, natural fractures, faults, tectonics, rock testing, geomechanics measurements, drilling, completions, stimulation, production, reservoir engineering, artificial intelligence, and data analytics.

Elastic anisotropy, widely recognized as a typical feature of sedimentary formations, has a strong influence on seismic velocities and amplitudes. For example, the difference between stacking and vertical velocity in anisotropic media most commonly is the reason for misties in time-to-depth conversion. This course provides the necessary background information regarding anisotropic wave propagation and discusses modeling, inversion, and processing of seismic reflection data in the presence of anisotropy.

The focus of the Clay Conference is clay as host rock for geological disposal of radioactive waste and the use of compacted swelling clays as an engineered barrier component. Considering design, construction, operation and post-closure, the Clay Conference provides a unique networking platform for sharing scientific and technological knowledge. This involves gathering together experienced specialists and newcomers from various disciplines related to clays, as well as scientists and technicians from organisations engaged in radioactive waste disposal or in other uses of the subsurface in which clay barriers play an important role. We particularly encourage young scientists in all fields of nuclear safety and waste management to present their research findings at the Clay Conference 2024.

GeoMandu is an international conference series of Nepal Geotechnical Society. The First GeoMandu was held on 17-18 March 2023, which was initially planned for May 2021 but due to COVID-19 situation, it was postponed to March 2023. The overwhelming support of all our sponsors and wellwishers and a more-than-expected interest of our local participants and members have truly fascinated us for an even better and even more successful event in November 2024!

As a developing nation with an insignificant number of geotechnical engineering-related infrastructures so far, Nepal has recognized geotechnical engineering still as a minor field of engineering! Today, however, there are many ongoing national pride infrastructure development projects including four-lane fast track highway construction, roadway tunnels, multipurpose high gravity dams, underground structures, long-span bridges, heavy aircraft runways, and many others that necessitates precise knowledge of geotechnical engineering in order to reduce the risk of geo-infra disasters in future. So, through this conference series, we expect that the geotechnical engineering community in Nepal will be able to appeal to all stakeholders of Nepal as well as to our international colleagues our unique geohazard types, and geo-infra disaster issues of the Nepal Himalaya and share the problems and learn about the solutions.

Stimulations of rocks by fluid injections (e.g., hydraulic fracturing) belong to a standard reservoir-development practice. Productions of shale oil, shale gas, heavy oil, and geothermal energy require broad applications of this technology. Production of conventional hydrocarbons, carbon sequestration, saltwater disposal and development of geological gas storages require massive fluid operations in the underground as well. The fact that fluid injections and productions can induce seismicity has been well-established for several decades. Understanding and monitoring of fluid-induced seismicity is necessary for hydraulic characterization of reservoirs, for assessments of reservoir stimulation results and for controlling the seismic risk of underground fluid injections and productions. The course provides systematic quantitative rock-physical and geomechanical fundamentals of these aspects.

The series of Asia-Pacific conferences on unsaturated soils began in Singapore in 2000 with a strong emphasis on both the theoretical aspect and practical significance of unsaturated soil mechanics in the region. The conferences have provided a forum for researchers and practitioners in the region and beyond to present their latest developments and exchange ideas in the subject, with strong relevance to problems in the region such as heave/desiccation shrinkage, collapse, rainfall-induced slope instability, contaminant transport, etc. The latest developments in unsaturated soil mechanics will also lead to a much better understanding and solution of many emerging problems such as soil/atmosphere interaction, thermal and chemical influence, and climate change.
