Welcome to the 9th installment of the Canadian Conference on Geotechnique and Natural Hazards.  Since the inception for the series in 1992, applied earth science practitioners from across Canada have gathered to share insights on our collective understand of how the earth’s processes and populations interact and how we continue to maintain this balance.     ​

​​

As new technologies continue to evolve we’ve been able to look back and learn about past events to understand how to better manage the associated risks in the future.   Not only have we utilized technology, but the science community has become more purposeful with our engagements with our first peoples to harness their knowledge and practices for managing hazards and living with the earth’s processes.   Whether it be new technologies or traditional knowledge, Canadians collectively will continue to be challenged to understand how earth processes and hazards act in a changing climate in order to best understand how to adapt and increase societal resilience.
