Earth Science Week 2023 will explore established and emerging technologies and techniques used by geoscientists as they play a growing role in society through developing stable infrastructure; fostering sustainable water, mineral and energy resources; analyzing and applying data about the Earth; and keeping people safe from natural hazards. The celebration also will highlight the wide range of fascinating and rewarding careers in the geosciences, and the ways that those careers are vital to understanding, monitoring, and living on the planet.

Geoscientists and engineers are very comfortable using seismic data sets acquired with geophones, hydrophones, and accelerometers because we have a long, well-defined set of standards for acquiring, processing, and interpreting them. However, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) seismic measurements are rapidly augmenting, and in some cases replacing, the data from these conventional tools. Technologists are frequently unaccustomed to using DAS seismic data sets since it directly acquires relative strain or strain rate measurements and not the more familiar pressure, displacement, velocity, and acceleration data. There are also acquisition parameter selections that must be made to optimize the acquired data to accomplish the purpose of the seismic survey. This course is designed to build an intuition and understanding of the value, limitations, and applications of DAS seismic technology. In addition to the lecture and accompanying book, software will be provided, which will allow the student to interactively explore DAS seismic technology.

While Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) has made giant strides recently for deep water subsurface imaging, the technology is lagging significantly for land and shallow water applications. Noise — whether ambient or source related — is clearly an issue, especially for the low frequencies that are so critical for successful implementation. Perhaps more problematic is the need to construct an accurate high-resolution model of the near surface. Depending on the terrain, the near surface can have large velocity contrasts, high anisotropy, high attenuation, significant heterogeneities leading to scattering, and strong multiple generators. A proper model of the near surface needs to be possibly viscoelastic and requires a fine computational grid to handle the ultra-low elastic velocities we encounter in the near surface, which may be a challenge for today’s computer capacity. To make matters worse, the near surface is often ill-sampled by cost effective 3D acquisition designs. Despite all these hurdles we are starting to see some beneficial FWI applications to land and shallow water surveys. How important are data conditioning, wavelet estimation, and the choice of the initial model? Do we have to move to elastic FWI? Can ground roll, mud roll, and multiples help rather than hinder the process? Do we need to design our surveys differently? Can we use other complementary data? What do we do with all the scattering noise? What is the role of machine learning (ML)? Is there room for improvement in acquisition? The goal of this workshop is to review the state-of-the art and investigate the next key steps to address some of these questions. Even though FWI is a potentially “complete model” of complex wave propagation, is the problem currently too difficult and too expensive that it needs help in the form of data conditioning and model conditioning? If so, what type of data conditioning and modeling conditioning?

This lecture is based on Australian CCS projects, such as CO2CRC Otway Project and CSIRO In-situ Lab Project, which showcase evolution of the seismic monitoring technology from conventional land 4D seismic to continuous or on demand monitoring using permanent downhole and near-surface geophone and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) arrays. We discuss how monitoring objectives can be achieved using various acquisition geometries, including land 4D, 4D vertical seismic profiling (VSP), and offset VSP, all of which can be implemented using conventional and permanently mounted seismic sources. Also covered is automation of data acquisition and analysis, as well as passive data analysis.

The SEG and Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) will co-organize a third workshop dedicated to the issues and opportunities related to seismic multiples. Following the success of the 2014 and 2019 workshops, this year’s workshop will focus on the ‘Advances in seismic multiples’ for land and shallow water seismic surveys that are technically challenging and of great economic importance particularly for the Middle East region.

The planets that are best understood are the four terrestrial planets of our own solar system. Applying the detailed understanding gleaned from these bodies is crucial in our interpretation of exoplanetary systems. With the ongoing programs to search for planets around nearby stars, as well as upcoming ground- and space-based surveys, we can anticipate huge growth in the number and information on detected rocky exoplanets in the coming decades. As the characterisation of these new planetary systems proceeds it will in turn improve understanding of our own solar system, and in particular of how potentially habitable Earth-like planets may form, evolve, and are distributed throughout the galaxy.

The Rocky Worlds conference series aims to bring together planetary scientists, astronomers, and earth scientists to foster discussion and build the collaborations that will pave the way for the next decade of rocky exoplanet discovery and characterisation.

It is widely accepted that habitability and the capability of a planet to maintain its habitable conditions are deeply interwoven with its chemical composition and physical properties such as its atmospheric and geological/geophysical characteristics, orbital motion, dynamics, and its interactions with its host star. How these interactions originate and how they enable the planet to maintain its habitability are complex questions that can only be answered through collaborations between scientists of their respective fields. This workshop aims to bring together scientists from the fields of stellar astrophysics, planetary science, planetary dynamics, geology, and geophysics to discuss fundamental questions regarding the formation, characterization, and detection of habitable planets. Our plan is to facilitate interactions among participants through lectures, presentations and discussion sessions as well as to provide them with ample time to initiate collaborations and carry out their independent research. Our workshop is open to scientists of all levels, in particular junior and early-career researchers.

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.
