Professor Idriss has been selected as this year's recipient of the ASCE Peck Award. The ASCE states that "the Ralph B. Peck Award is presented for outstanding contributions to the geotechnical engineering profession through the publication of a thoughtful, carefully researched case history or histories, or the publication of recommended practices or design methodologies based on the evaluation of case histories." Professor Idriss will receive the award, and give the associated lecture, at the ASCE G-I conference in February. This is another wonderful recognition for his many major contributions to our field.
Congratulations Professor Idriss!
