Introduction
The Geo-Institute (G-I) is a specialty organization focused on the geo–industry. Created by the American Society of Civil Engineers in October 1996, our 9,700+ members and 36 member organizations now include scientists, engineers, technologists, and organizations interested in improving the environment, mitigating natural hazards, and economically constructing engineered facilities.
Our organization pools the talents and perspectives of members to enhance a geo-professional's career development through technology transfer via specialty conferences, journals and practice-oriented publications; educational programs; networking and coalition-building; and leadership on emerging issues. The G-I's numerous award programs, such as the Karl Terzaghi, Ralph B. Peck, and Wallace Hayward Baker offer members numerous opportunities to be recognized for their outstanding contributions to the geotechnical engineering profession.
The G-I's numerous networking events, technical committees,and cutting-edge annual conferences and exhibitions also provide members some of the best forums in which to tackle today's toughest geotechnical challenges. Geo-Strata, the official bi-monthly magazine of the Geo-Institute, is enjoyed by members at no additional charge. It features articles written by and for engineering professionals covering timely topics such as the use of new technologies, construction techniques, business management, unique projects, and industry news. The magazine is recognized by industry experts as providing leadership on educational, professional and public policy issues.
