Overview
The AusRock 2018 conference will provide an update to all mining industry geotechnical personnel on best practice in both Australasia and overseas.
AusRock 2018 provides a vehicle for information exchange between the coal and metalliferous sectors of the industry with a focus on new technologies and developments, industry needs and mine site problem solving, and practical case studies.
Abstracts are invited from prospective authors throughout Australasia and internationally.
