Coal Authority investigates whether M80 subsidence is linked to old mine shaft The @CoalAuthority is carrying out ground investigations at the site of a significant subsidence incident on a slip road off the M80 motorway south of Bannockburn in Scotland. geplus.co.uk/news/coal-auth…

Happy International Women in Engineering Day! We're proud of our incredible community of women in engineering 🌟 #INWED24 #WomenInEngineering

Wyoming landslide likely triggered by ‘soil saturation from rapid snowmelt’ A #landslide in Wyoming that caused a road to “catastrophically” fail was likely caused by soil saturation from rapid snowmelt due to warmer than average spring temperatures. geplus.co.uk/uncategorised/…

Day 6 of the MSc in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering field trip to France and we are using our field data collection skills to assess the stability of a rock slope with some interesting features. Plus time to squeeze in one more dam. @GEST_NCL @EngineeringNCL

Day 5 of the MSc in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering | Newcastle University field trip and we are picking up on lessons learned yesterday to map another very large landslide with some different features and issues. @GEST_NCL @EngineeringNCL

Day 4 of the MSc in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering | Newcastle University and it’s been a hot day mapping a landslide. Students learn to identify and record the clues showing past, continuing and potential for future movement in the slope. @GEST_NCL @EngineeringNCL

Day 3 of our MSc in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering | Newcastle University field trip and we are mapping discontinuities with a view to assessing stability of the road cutting. Newcastle University @GEST_NCL @EngineeringNCL

Day 2 of our MSc in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering | Newcastle University international field trip and it’s all about rock mass classification in the context of tunnels. How big a span is feasible? @GEST_NCL @EngineeringNCL

Day 1 of our MSc in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering | Newcastle University field trip to the south of France. Assessing the Malpasset dam failure. Looking at how the dam interacted with the rock mass. @GEST_NCL @EngineeringNCL

Warming up for the MSc in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering | Newcastle University residential field trip with a look over @GEST_NCL @EngineeringNCL’s full scale research embankment and a trip down the Yorkshire coast looking at slope stability in glacial tills.
