Webinars

PhD in Applied Earth Sciences (The University of Tokyo), B. Sc., M. Sc., in Structural Geology (The University of Tokyo).
He is a professor of the Geosphere Environment Systems Laboratory, the Department of Environment Systems, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo. He started his career as a research associate, then, an associate professor until being promoted as a full professor on March 2011. Between 1997 and 1998, he was a visiting researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he conducted both theoretical and experimental analyses on the behavior of anisotropic poroelastic materials.
His interests now include long-term stability of subsurface environments, dynamics of saltwater/freshwater behavior near the coast with respect to climate change both short and long-term, coupling processes of deformation and fluid flow in geological formations.
At the request of the Korean Society of Engineering Geology (KSEG) , and by recommendation from Japan Society of Engineering Geology（JSEG）, this webinar was recorded for the KSEG confernce in the spring of 2021.

Study of active faults during engineering investigations of lifelines routes

Prof. Arindam Basu completed B.Sc. and M.Sc. studies from Jadavpur University and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 1997 and 1999, respectively. He pursued MPhil and PhD research at the University of Hong Kong (2000-2006) and subsequently, carried out postdoctoral research at Universidade de São Paulo (2006-2007). He joined the Department of Geology & Geophysics, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur as an Assistant Professor in 2007. He has been working as a Professor in this department since 2018. His prominent research contribution lies in understanding mechanical behavior and failure modes of virtually isotropic and anisotropic rock materials including weathered rocks under different states of stress; in improving various index test methods; and in scrutinizing shear behavior of rock discontinuities that has got implications in shallow-depth rockslides. He received the Geological Society of India Sesquicentennial Commemorative Award in recognition of valuable contributions in the field of Engineering Geology in 2013. His work has been cited over 1450 times https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=9ZUWc7oAAAAJ&hl=en.

The YEG group organized and recorded five webinar series. Each includes two presentations, one from a more experienced engineering geologist and one from a younger professional. The webinars are posted on this You Tube channel.
