This event will be held online as a series of short lunchtime talks each week in December. Our aim with the event is to focus on topics directly relevant to the Auckland region. NZGS members are invited to submit abstracts for papers to be presented as part of the online symposium.
The event will kick off on Wednesday the 1st of December 2021 around lunch time. Each session will run for 1h 15m and will comprise either 3x standard presentations (15min) or 2x extended presentations (25min) with time for questions after each presentation.. Subsequent sessions will be held on the 8th, 15th and 22nd of December.
If you have something short to present that would be of interest, please submit a short abstract (<250 words) to the organising team on auckland@nzgs.org by 12th November.

New Zealand Geotechnical Society AGM & Presentation: As a result of the extended lockdown in Auckland we have decided to move the Annual General Meeting online and set the date as 27 September. It will take place at 12:00pm immediately before what is set to be a fascinating presentation by Sjoerd Van Ballegooy about modelling the impacts of liquefaction on the New Zealand residential building portfolio. You will be able to use the same link for both the AGM and the subsequent presentation.
Please register using the link on this page.
Further information, including the agenda and AGM papers, will be circulated shortly
Presented by David Buxton, Geotechnical Engineer, Northland Geotechnical Specialists

The presentation will comprise review and interpretation of aerial photo stereopair red/blue anaglyphs and LiDAR terrain models, with various overlays, for a number of sites around Northland. The presentation will highlight how interpretation of the terrain can inform our engineering decision making, and why it is particularly important in complex terrain. Best of all, both the data and software are free and readily available to all.
To view the aerial photo stereopair anaglyphs in the presentation you will need a pair of red/blue 3D glasses. For a free pair, please email david@northlandgeotech.co.nz. Alternatively, they can be cheaply purchased online (try wish.com, search “Red Blue 3D Glasses”, or they are also sometimes available on Trademe).
The presentation will be followed by a chance for questions/discussions.
David Buxton is a geotechnical engineer and has been Northland based for 5 years prior to which he worked for T+T in Auckland for 10 years.
Presented by Dr Simon Cox, Principal Scientist, GNS Science, Dunedin
Dr Simon Cox will be discussing the initial findings from groundwater monitoring and spatial models for Dunedin.

The New Zealand Geotechnical Society in partnership with Engineering New Zealand, The Sustainability Society and MBIE will host a symposium to discuss the role of geotechnical engineers in climate change.
The symposium will engage the geotechnical industry in New Zealand and start discussions on how our industry can reach the carbon emission goals set by the New Zealand government. What does it mean for the geotechnical industry in New Zealand? Where do we need to stretch, collaborate and re-invent ourselves to meet the targets? Regardless if you work as a consultant, contractor, academic or policy maker, we are looking for a broad range of different opinions as this topic is important for all of us and collaboration, innovation and transformation are critical to start the process.
We hope to spark your interest and stimulate many constructive discussions about this topic and we want to hear different opinions and approaches how to overcome some of the current barriers. Collaboration is the key to reach these targets and help building a more sustainable future.
