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.
