The International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) is launching its first Webinar of the year on February 2. This upcoming webinar on Cone Penetration Testing will be given by CGS Member Prof. Peter Robertson (from Gregg Drilling – California USA). All ISSMGE webinars are offered free of charge in an effort to assist geotechnical engineers worldwide and to promote our profession. You are welcome to attend and highly encouraged to invite all geotechnical & civil engineers and students to participate. This Webinar will be launched on February 2 at 12 noon GMT (4:00 am PST and 7:00 am EST in Canada). lt will then be followed by a 2-day Q&A session that, like the webinar video, can also be viewed anytime later on the ISSMGE Website. Find more details about the webinar at the ISSMGE website. [Source: The Canadian Geotechnical Society. Image: ISSMGE]

ASCE G-I: Proposed “Journal of Geotechnical Engineering Practice”
Most geotechs are familiar with the Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering (JGGE), one of the (if not the) premier journal in the industry. It’s published by the ASCE’s Geo-Institute (G-I) and accounts for about 20% of the revenue of the G-I organization.
The G-I’s President, Dr. Jean-Louis Briaud, convened a task force in early 2009 to investigate if the JGGE is “adequately serving as a venue for practice oriented papers.” According to the final report from the Proposed "Journal of Geotechnical Engineering Practice" Task Force, the reason for the task force is that:
