Geotechnical Engineer
, and Dr.
Norbert Morgenstern’s presentation of
his 2013 Stanley D. Wilson Memorial
Lecture,
In Praise of Inclinometers
.
In addition to his scheduled lecture,
Dr. Scott Burns presented a synopsis
of the recent deadly Oso Landslide in
Washington, before opening the floor
to a timely discussion of both techni-
cal and socio-political issues surround-
ing the recent tragedy.
David Elwood
, Program Chair for
the GSE, oversaw the organization
and execution of the Symposium. He
also served as the master of ceremo-
nies for the event. The Symposium
was deemed a rousing success by
the attendees and invited speakers
alike. The intimacy of the gathering,
surrounded by large posters outlin-
ing the contribution of ten eminent
local geotechnical and hydrological
practitioners, allowed for networking
and reconnecting among colleagues.
There was a palpable conviviality in
the air and it was certainly an event to
remember.
The Executive Committee of the GSE
would like to express their sincere
thanks to the distinguished lecturers
and all of the attendees for their enthu-
siastic support.
