Geotechnical News • December 2019
(Karma-Link), but you can be assured
that this wealth of information will not
be lost. I understand also that Karma-
Link will have a great online compan-
ion to the new magazine.
I really look forward to the oppor-
tunity of doing my own part to help
spread technical knowledge on geo-
technical instrumentation and monitor-
ing, and I truly believe that it will be
even more an integral part of proper
designs and the observational method
in geotechnical engineering in future
years.

Tribute to John Dunnicliff by Barr Engineering in Minneapolis
Aaron Grosser, Ivan Contreras, Joel Swenson
The geotechnical engineering staff at Barr Engineering Co. are eternally grateful to John Dunnicliff for the
mentoring and enthusiastic support he has provided through training short courses and long distance cor-
respondence. John’s excitement and critical eye with respect to the research and publication of the Fully
Grouted Method for Piezometer Installations was inspiring for us to continue to build upon work we learned
of from him and Erik Mikkelsen at one of the early Geotechnical Instrumentation for Field Measurements
short courses. His critical eye for detail, gentle goading and reminders for publications, and email responses
at all hours with his typical British humor were well received by all of us. Many thanks to John and the effort
he has expended on teaching the geotechnical community the important steps of instrumentation and moni-
toring.
