Machine Learning for Geotechnical Hazard Assessment
Speaker: Dr John McGaughey, President, Mira Geoscience
Abstract: Geotechnical hazard is best assessed by quantitatively integrating all relevant, multi-disciplinary data. Doing so requires a 4D modelling approach through which data inputs and hazard assessment outputs are co-located in space and time. This seminar will explore this in detail.
