Nicolas Pereira and Thomas Sharp to Present at ACG Mine Closure Conference

Nicolas Pereira and Thomas Sharp will present at the Australian Centre for Geomechanics (ACG) Mine Closure 2024 Conference on November 26 through 28, 2024, in Perth, Western Australia.

Red Earth Engineering, a Geosyntec Company (REE), is the Barista Sponsor for the event.

Nicolas is a Senior Geotechnical Engineer based in Perth who supports the mining sector. He has experience in numerical modeling, stability analysis of tailings dams, and geomechanics involving underground and open-pit mining projects.

Thomas is a Project Geotechnical Engineer based in Perth who supports the mining clients, offering pragmatic solutions for management of mine tailings.

The Mine Closure Conference features papers and presentations that focus on a diverse range of topics, disciplines, and expertise in this field. This year’s conference addresses the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The ACG is a not-for-profit mining research center based at the University of Western Australia. Its mission is to advance research, education, and training in geomechanics, particularly for the mineral and energy extraction industries.
