6th Annual GSE (Apr 26-27, 2001)
N.R. Morgenstern Symposium
In 2000, Professor Norbert R. Morgenstern marked 40 years of graduate teaching and research excellence in geotechnical engineering. To celebrate Professor Morgenstern's career GSE has organized a special two-day symposium. Former students of Professor Morgenstern, now prominent geotechnical engineers, will deliver state-of-the-art lectures in their areas of expertise to honour his contributions to teaching and research over the past four decades. A special banquet will be held Thursday evening to reflect on his contributions and thank Professor Morgenstern in a more relaxed setting. In addition GSE has organized a 'U of A Geotechnical Alumni Reunion' for Friday afternoon.
