3rd International Workshop on Rock Physics

The 3rd International Workshop on Rock Physics was held from the 13th to the 17th April 2015 in Perth, Western Australia. The aim of the Workshop was to review recent advances in theoretical, experimental, computational and applied rock physics and to help steer future research. A big “Thank you!” to all who attended and helped make the Workshop a great success.

The Workshop had 107 participants in total. These included 28 students, 39 from academia, 22 from industry and 18 from national and international research centres. The participants represented 19 countries (number of people is given in brackets): Australia (37), Canada (3), China (16), Czech Republic (1), Denmark (5), France (4), Germany (2), Indonesia (2), Italy (1), Japan (1), New Zealand (2), Norway (8), Russia (2), Singapore (1), Switzerland (2), Taiwan (1), UAE (2), UK (6) and the USA (10).

At the end of the proceedings, a vote by the Workshop attendees decided that the next International Workshop on Rock Physics will be held in Trondheim, Norway, in the summer of 2017. The workshop will be organized by Professor Rune Holt of SINTEF and NTNU.
