Dr. Michael Hendry of the University of Alberta will present the CGS Colloquium Lecture at GeoOttawa 2017 in October. Dr. Hendry was selected last year – his 2017 presentation was first announced at the GeoVancouver 2016 conference.
Established in 1977, the Canadian Geotechnical Society Colloquium is an annual commissioned presentation (and paper) delivered by a younger CGS member. Its aim is to provide information of particular interest to the geotechnical community on topics of importance to the Canadian geotechnical field, and to encourage and provide an opportunity to pursue studies required for its preparation.
