More Than Rocks

What can I say about Mark Eggers? Commonly referred to as Eggers, Meggers or Meggles by his devotees, he is a senior principle at PSM Australia, and an engineering geology guru. Mark works on large construction projects, bringing his knowledge of rock and soil mechanics and passion for engineering geology models to the table. He also teaches in engineering geology programmes around the world, giving up his time because he is passionate about educating the next generation. We talk about all things engineering geology, and he tells us about his career development and tips for new graduates (among other things).

Thanks to Mark and ⁠PSM⁠ for the time, thanks to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ellery Daines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for audio engineering and to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IAEG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for support.

Ann is the geotechnical lead for Beca, New Zealand, the current Women in Engineering Geology (WEG) Chair, and the incoming president of IAEG. She's also a great yarn! Ann has many interesting takes on the evolution of the industry (from finding a job in yellow pages to now employing graduates through a programme), she talks retaining women in the workforce and tells us what she likes about groundwater.

Associate Professor and current IAEG president Vassilis Marinos tells us how he got into engineering geology from joining field trips and lectures at a young age. He tells us about his development of the field of rock mechanics, interesting project experiences and how he built himself a cabin hideaway in the mountains!

Dave is the Vice-Chancellor and President of Nottingham Trent University, and a landslide scientist. We talk juggling roles, imposter syndrome and some thoughts on being a responsible engineering geologist in the face of landslide risk uncertaintly.

We mention the Landslide Blog, find it ⁠here. ⁠

The Global Fatal Landslide Database is ⁠here.⁠
