Special Welcome Message from Scott Burns and Rafig Azzam, IAEG

|
Prof. Rafig Azzam, President, IAEG
|
Welcome to the 153rd IAEG Connector, the electronic newsletter connecting environmental and engineering geologists around the world!
Our YEG group is really active and are sponsoring a seminar on Rock Hazards on May 21, 2021! Be sure to sign up — it is the first item in the IAEG Connector this week!
We have listed the 43 articles that are in our newest issue of our IAEG Bulletin! It is Volume 80, Issue 5. There are many interesting articles there!
The major current events this week also follow the rockfall hazard theme! There is a great video of a rockfall on Mt. Kechachi in Japan and also a similar landslide in Yangliu Forest Park in South China.
Scott Burns, now Past President, IAEG, and editor, IAEG Connector, and Rafig Azzam, President, IAEG

IAEG creates its own YouTube channel for all past webinars
IAEG
Recently the IAEG has implemented its own communication system by creating its own YouTube channel where we have published all the webinars already present on the specific page of our site and those in progress. (IAEG YouTube channel). This is next to the YEG streaming webinar channel, which is also posted on the IAEG website.
In these pandemic times, many lectures or conferences take place online. Unfortunately, the different time zones do not allow many in the world to be able to follow and learn about the interesting online lessons. In the era of globalization, it is important that more and more people, and especially young people coming from remote regions, can draw on important sources of culture.
I think you have surely given some online lecture or conference that you have recorded, so I ask you to spread your knowledge all over the world, helping many people to grow, through the IAEG platform (https://www.iaeg.info/ webinar and IAEG channel on YouTube).
Sure of your sensitivity towards these issues, send your webinars that you may have registered at the following address: giorgio.lollino@irpi.cnr.it.
