Geoengineer Website receives the Emerald Award and the Geoengineer Newsletter exceeds 1000 subscribers!

Every month more and more geotechs are visiting our site. It seems that a lot of our visitors spread the word about the existence of the Geoengineer website and we are greatful for your enthousiatic support. Also, the members of the Geoengineer Newsletter are now more than 1000 making this newsletter maybe the most popular newsletter in Geotechnical Engineering. Also, the site was awarded four stars by Emerald Civil Engineering Coolsites for "its style, structure, ease of use, quality of information and usefulness to the practitioner" and was the August 2002 Geotechnical Engineering Emerald Coolsite. This is the third prize won by the website. You can read the e-mail award here!

There are a lot of new ideas that will soon enhance the quality and quantity of the information provided by the Geoengineer website by contributions of distinguished members of our community. We are always looking forward to hear your suggestions and receive your contributions. Thanks again for your support,

The editor
