Both gentlemen will be recognized at the 2015 CGS conference banquet scheduled to be held in Quebec City on September 21st.
The College is delighted to hear the news on this special award.
“On behalf of the entire faculty at RMC, the Principal, Dr Kowal, passes on his sincere congratulations to Dr Bathurst for this very prestigious recognition. Well done!”
Winning the R.M. Quigley award is nothing new for Professor Bathurst. This is the fourth time that he has won this award for the best paper in the Canadian Geotechnical Journal (plus once as runner-up). Based on CGS records, only one other person has done better (i.e. 5 times) since the award was started, and that is Dr. Nordie Morgenstern from the University of Alberta.
