Dr Rezania has given an invited talk to Environment Platform Wales (Insights Wales) on the topic of "Valorisation of coal mining waste; an overview of the MINRESCUE project". The recording of the talk is available via [link].

The paper entitled "Post-failure analysis of landslides in spatially varying soil deposits using stochastic material point method" by Guotao Ma, Mohammad Rezania, Mohad Mousavi Nezhad and Butao Shi has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Rock and Soil Mechanics (RSM), 2022.

The 5th progress meeting of the European Commission's MINRESCUE project was held on Thursday January 28. Significant progress and lots of original contributions have been made on the valorization of coal mining wastes by the different project partners, that are soon to be submitted to the Commission in the form of the project's mid-term report.

Congratulations to Dr Guotao (Derek) Ma who has won a prestigious Early Career Fellowship from Warwick Institute of Advanced StudyLink opens in a new window. It is an excellent achievement by Derek who just defended his PhD a week ago. The Fellowship will help him to further develop his skills in risk analysis and uncertainty quantification in collaboration with the industry.
