ABOUT THIS EVENT

The Geo-Institute of the ASCE provides the Cross-USA Lecture Tour to local G-I chapters and GSOs as an ongoing program to enhance the prestige of the geoprofession. The Cross-USA G-I Lecturer will be a nominated distinguished geoprofessional. Since 2010, our Cross-USA lecturers have traveled the country, and since 2020, delivered lectures on the G-I Youtube channel.

The 2024-25 lecturer is Richard Bathurst of the Royal Military College of Canada. His topic in June will be "The Contribution of Numerical Modeling to Improve Understanding of MSE Wall Behavior."

Dr. Bathurst is Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at the Royal Military College of Canada, where he has taught since 1980. He also holds a cross-appointment with the Civil Engineering Department at Queen's University and an appointment as a Visiting Research Fellow at the Port and Airport Research Institute in Japan (2016-2026). He was the President of the Engineering Institute of Canada (2016-2018), Past-President of the Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) (2013-2014), Past-President of the International Geosynthetics Society (1998-2002), and Past-President of the North American Geosynthetics Society (1998).
