Learn how to manage seismic activity in deep hardrock mines
You’re invited to attend a 2.5-day mining course, “Introduction to Seismic Risk in Underground Mines,” from Tuesday, Oct. 22, to Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024. Expert mining engineer Dr. Marty Hudyma reviews seismic risk management in hardrock mines, including rock mechanics, rockbursts, and rock engineering.
This course is intended for ground control engineers, mining engineers, technicians, geologists, senior engineers, and mine managers who want to learn more about managing seismic risk in mines. The course is primarily for underground mines, especially seismically active mines, but participants from surface mines who are experiencing seismicity are welcome to attend.
