Practitioners from Geosyntec Australia will present at the Australian Centre for Geomechanics (ACG) Mine Closure 2026 Conference on September 15 through 17 in Melbourne, Australia.
Presenters include Dan Hodges, Ye Ma, Sudheer Prabhu, and Kobi Song. Darren Webb will also attend.
Mine Closure is an international conference that brings together mining professionals to share high-quality research and practical insights on responsible mine closure, environmental stewardship, and post-mining land use. The event is hosted by the ACG.
Based at the University of Western Australia in Perth, ACG is a nonprofit mining research center that promotes safety as a guiding ethic through research, education, and training in geomechanics disciplines.
