Masterclass on Offshore Geotechnics

University of Southampton, 27 & 28 May 2025 9.00am - 5:00pm

A collaboration between the University of Southampton and the University of Oxford

Course Description

Over the course of this Masterclass, participants will gain an appreciation of geotechnical engineering applied to offshore renewable energy problems. The course will start with the background to soil mechanics, with a simplified overview of the strength and stiffness of seabed sediments, and how that is captured in mathematical and computational models.
