The Icelandic Geotechnical Society and The Icelandic Tunnelling Society are pleased to welcome you to the Nordic Rock Meeting
- the IV Nordic Symposium on Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering in Reykjavik, Iceland 24 - 26 of May 2023.
This symposium gathers Nordic rock mechanics and engineering geology experts to discuss the current state of research, infrastructure, rock caverns, tunnelling, mining, use of underground space for energy recovery and storage, and case histories. Use of underground space for various purposes is a natural choice in Nordic countries and it has made the understanding of rock mechanics and rock engineering vital. Be welcome and meet your colleagues at the Nordic Rock Meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland.

NROCK 2023, The 4th Nordic Symposium on Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, was organized by the Icelandic Geotechnical Society – the National Group of ISRM in cooperation with The Icelandic Tunneling Society. The Symposium has status of the ISRM Specialized Conference and sponsored by ISRM. The Nordic Advisory Committee with experienced members from all Nordic countries had valuable input in the organizing process and the Organizing Committee is very pleased for their support.
This 4th Nordic Rock Mechanics Symposium consisted of four keynote presentations and 22 technical papers from 9 countries. Two excursions were part of the program on Friday afternoon and Saturday. Sixty seven delegates were registered to the symposium.
The Organizing Committee wish to thank all the authors, sessions leaders and other delegates for their contributions and making this symposium possible. At the closing ceremony, Atli Karl Ingimarsson, chairman of the Icelandic Organizing Committee, handed the rock core over to Eyðbjørg Amanda Petersen from the Faroe Islands, who will consider holding the next symposium in four years.

Why Reykjavik Iceland
The Icelandic Geotechnical Society, IGS has hosted the Nordic Geotechnical Conference in 2016, the European Geotechnical Conference in 2019 and it is with great pleasure that we in cooperation with the Icelandic Tunnel Society welcome the Nordic Rock Symposium in 2023.
We offer our guests a venue unlike all others surrounded by inspiring nature. Iceland is one of the most geologically active locations in the world with volcanoes, lava fields, hot spots, earthquake activities, geothermal areas and glacial outburst. This has created both challenging geological environment and magnificent scenery that you cannot find anywhere else in the world.

Reykjavík is a vibrant city with an
excellent infrastructure, which means access to cutting-edge technology,
inspiring meeting venues and warm hospitable people willing and able to render
the best service.
REYKJAVÍK is NATURALLY ECO FRIENDLY
|
Did you know that eco-friendly Reykjavík has the world’s largest geothermal heating system and that green-minded Icelanders have been at the forefront of exploration of alternative fuel and electric cars. A considerable number of the vegetables consumed by Icelanders are also grown in greenhouses heated geo-thermally and illuminated by hydro-electricity. Ever better for the visitor — Icelandic tap water is famous for being pure and untainted with chemicals and minerals, with a healthy high Ph for the human body. The world’s largest geothermal heating system is located in the Icelandic capital. It has been growing and improving since it opened in 1930. All buildings in Reykjavík are heated with geothermal water and the majority of households in the country are heated in the same way, which means less pollution and fewer emissions. All buildings are therefore comfortably warm, even during the coldest winter days.

For half a century emission of greenhouse gases in Reykjavík have been systematically reduced and residents have found use for the surplus water using the 20°- 40°C water that has already heated their homes to keep ice from forming on their driveways and pavements.
Geothermal energy means:
- Less pollution
- Less emission of greenhouse gases
- Health benefits
- Cleaner air
- Comfortable warmth indoor
