Changing practice by changing education—IGS North America Educates the Educators

摘要

The North American Chapter of the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS-NA) held its third Educate the Educators (EtE) event on Dec. 9-10, 2019, at the University of California, San Diego. Richard Brachman (Queen's University), John McCartney (University of California, San Diego) and Ben Leshchinsky (Oregon State University) served as the instructors. After a half-day on the fundamentals of geosynthetics, the remainder of the two-day event provided specialized technical training on environmental, transportation and reinforcing applications of geosynthetics.
