The Geo-Institute’s GeoCongress 2022 conference in Charlotte North Carolina is well underway. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend this year, but I don’t have to miss out on this year’s keynote speakers, and neither do you! The GI is live-streaming four prestigious keynote presentations, including the Karl Terzaghi Award Lecture, The H. Bolton Seed Lecture, The Ralph B. Peck Lecture, and the Carl L. Monismith Lecture.

See the entire playlist of recorded and upcoming live lectures!
