Welcome On behalf of the Australian Geomechanics Society and the New Zealand Geotechnical Society, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Melbourne and the 11th Australia New Zealand Conference on Geomechanics (ANZ 2012). The first Australia New Zealand Conference on Geomechanics was held in Melbourne in 1971 and the theme of that conference was “Geomechanics – A Tool in National Development”. Forty-one years later, this event returns to Melbourne. As in 1971, our profession has the potential to shape and influence the future to build a better and more sustainable world. The theme of ANZ 2012 is “Ground Engineering in a Changing World”. The global community is facing great challenge and uncertainty; we have a changing climate, changing demographics and work force skills, an uncertain financial system and changing community perceptions. With these changes come a host of risks and opportunities. ANZ 2012 seeks to explore those changes and in particular the risks and opportunities that they present to our profession. Indeed, two of our conference themes ‘evolving geotechnics’ and ‘sustainable geotechnics and geo-environmental engineering’ are dedicated to better understanding those risks and opportunities. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors and exhibitors, particularly our Major Sponsors Geotechnical Engineering and the Australian Geomechanics Society. Without sponsorship, conferences such as this would not be possible, so please take the time to visit and talk to all of our sponsors and exhibitors. I would also like to thank our keynote speakers; we have a distinguished and exciting program which I am sure none of you will want to miss. Finally, but by no means least, I would like to thank all of our session speakers and delegates; it is your contribution that will define the success of this conference. I trust that all of you will thoroughly enjoy not just the technical sessions but also our social functions and networking opportunities. I am delighted to present a program of keynote lectures, technical papers, workshops, technical tours, exhibits and networking opportunities for both participants and their partners. On behalf of the organising committee, I would like thank you all for attending ANZ 2012. I wish you a successful and engaging conference. page 4 Stephen Tyson ANZ 2012 Conference Chair ANZ2012 – Ground Engineering in a Changing World
