2009 Jahns Distinguished Lectures
I was the 2009 Richard H. Jahns Distinguished Lecturer in Engineering Geology The distinction was awarded by the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (AEG) and the Engineering Geology Division of the Geological Society of America (GSA). The intent of the funded Lectureship was to encourage student and professional awareness of Engineering Geology through a series of lectures presented to University students and Geology/Engineering/ Professional Groups across North America during the award year (October 2008 to October 2009). During the award year 85 Lectures were presented at nearly separate 70 venues. Seven Lectures were offered.
