Nominations for the CGS Colloquium due January 31, 2019

Established in 1977, the CGS Colloquium is an annual commissioned presentation and paper. Along with the honour comes a $5,000 honorarium provided by Canadian Foundation for Geotechnique. It is targeted towards a younger CGS member to provide information of particular interest to the geotechnical community on topics of importance to the Canadian geotechnical field. A younger CGS member is typically regarded as being less than 40 years of age, with preference given to candidates 33 to 38 years at time of age at the time of nomination.

Nominations can be made by any CGS member. Nominations for the 44th CGS Geotechnical Colloquium, which will be presented at the 2020 Calgary conference, are due by January 31, 2019. The selection will be made by the CGS Geotechnical Research Board in April 2019, 18 months prior to the presentation.

The nomination submission should include:

a nomination letter that introduces the nominee with his/her main accomplishments;
an extended abstract of the proposed talk (approximately 2000 words), including a statement of the importance of the topic to the Canadian geotechnical community;
the originality of the nominee’s contribution, and;
the nominee’s resume including practical experience relevant to the topic and publication record.

Contact the CGS National Office at admin@cgs.ca or 1-800-710-9867 for more information or to send in your nomination.

The 43rd Colloquium will be presented at GeoSt.John’s 2019 by Kathy Kalenchuk of Mine Design Engineering.
