Offshore wind turbines provide us with clean electricity, powering our homes, vehicles and lifestyles. They can help to decarbonise our society and economy to slow climate change. But how do we design and scale up what's required to meet net zero targets?
Join geotechnical engineer, Susan Gourvenec, as she explores the secret superpowers of the seabed, and how their evolution impacts the integrity of infrastructures built in the sea. From the microscale of seabed sediments to the individual foundations placed to support the turbines, discover what it takes to build windfarms at the scale the world needs.
In this talk, Susan will unearth these seabed superpowers than engineers can tap into to achieve these ambitions, as well as the latest emerging technologies that will enable us to design and build offshore wind farms at a scale, pace and accuracy that is currently impossible.
