9th Euroconference on Rock Physics and Geomechanics Trondheim Norway 17-21 October 2011 Title Author11, Author22, Author33,... 1Affiliation1, 2Affiliation2, 3Affiliation3,... Corresponding author’s e-mail: nn@??.?? ABSTRACT The abstract should be 1-2 pages, preferably including one figure. Layout and fonts should be as in this document. Indicate name of authors as e.g. L. Messi, and affiliation as e.g. Football University of Barcelona, Spain. Colours may be used in figures, but please notice that the abstract may be reduced to B5 format before being printed. Before uploading your Abstract, remember to indicate your preferred format of presentation (Oral / Poster / Indifferent), and select which of the topics numbered below that your abstract should sort under (multiple choices are accepted). 1. Computational rock physics and geomechanics from pore to field scale 2. Laboratory measurements of rock mechanical and rock physical properties under in situ conditions 3. Geomechanics and rock physics aspects of monitoring of subsurface processes 4. Physics and mechanics of near surface rock and soil 5. Physics and mechanics of rock at depth 6. Rock mechanical behaviour of shale and clay 7. Initiation, activation and propagation of fractures and faults 8. Rock burst and induced seismicity Abstract submission deadline is 31 May. Notification of acceptance will be given by 10 July. Approved abstracts will be printed in a booklet to be distributed at the conference. Full Papers are invited after the conference, and we aim for publication in a peer-reviewed Journal or a Monograph. References should be given in the text as Fjær et al (2008). See References (below) for how references to books, journal articles and proceedings should be listed. Fig.1 Figures should be inserted as Picture (Enhanced metafile).
