About

Geo-Extreme 2025

Geo-Extreme 2025 provides a platform for sharing critical research, best practices, and cutting-edge technologies to enhance the resilience of communities and infrastructure against future extreme events. This year’s conference will focus on key areas essential for advancing our understanding and response to these challenges. Attendees will gain insights from case histories, lessons learned, and best practices, investigate geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering for post-disaster materials management, and explore decision-making and risk management strategies. Additionally, the conference will feature discussions on climate model simulations, instrumentation and remote sensing, coastal sustainability, and the integration of equity and justice into climate-resilient infrastructure.
