Task Forces

Committee Task Forces:

The following seven technical task forces and three professional have been identified. Technical task forces T-I and T-II are mainly associated with energy production; task forces T-III and T-IV with energy conversion and storage; and task forces T-V and T-VI with storage of highly pollutant waste from the energy sector and CO2. Technical ask force T-VII is associated with other geotechnical activities related to energy not contemplated in the previous task forces, Task force T-VIII is associated with the fundamental geomechanics frameworks that are in common with all of the different task forces, and Task force T-IX is involved with low carbon geotechnical engineering. Professional task force P-1 is involved with public outreach, professional task force P-2 is involved with engagement of younger members, professional task force P-3 is involved with awards, and P-4 is involved with academia-practice relations. Please visit each link in the drop-down menu above to learn more about each task force.
