We are organising the seminar where we will show all the research we have done in Geomeasure (first morning session). It is on Monday the 16th of December 2024, with the details here. You can also join remotely (the link in the file)!

The seminar is directed towards engineers and non-scientists. We go to great lengths to show our research so you can understand it and see what we have achieved! As an extra, we will also discuss how to secure electric underwater cables by embedding them in gravel. This way the cable is well cooled, while an accidental anchor should not damage it.

Everyone is welcome!

Would you like to contribute to GEOMEASURE? We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher who would use MPM to model offshore in-situ tests!

Academy of Finland has awarded Aalto & Geological Survey Finland consortium financing for the Geomeasure project. We will investigate the Finnish seabed with GTK research vessel Geomari and find new ways to interpret the results of the tests, in particular free fall penetrometer tests. To do that, we will take samples from the seabed and correlate results of experimental testing with the penetrometer data. Also, the tests will be numerically modelled with MPM. We also plan to investigate the behaviour of the deposits under cyclic loading, typical for wind turbines.
