Tomáš Kadlíček, Jan Jerman, and Gianvito Scaringi participated in the 9th International Symposium on Geotechnical Safety and Risk (ISGSR 2025), held in Oslo from 25–28 August 2025. The event was jointly organised by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute and Oslo Metropolitan University.

The symposium brought together more than 400 participants from across the globe, offering a vibrant platform for sharing advances in geotechnical engineering. Across 22 sessions, the conference showcased state-of-the-art research on topics ranging from probabilistic slope stability analysis and digital twins to risk management practices and the impacts of climate change on geotechnical safety.

Our oral presentation, delivered by Tomáš Kadlíček, generated lively and constructive discussions. We presented our recent findings on how warming slopes—an expected outcome of climate change—may undergo changes in stability due to thermo-mechanical coupling. In particular, we showed that the residual shear strength, often the only available strength along pre-existing shear surfaces in clay soils, is directly influenced by temperature.

The conference proceedings are currently being finalised and will be made available online soon.
