A Special Message From Scott Burns, President, IAEG
Welcome to our 26th IAEG Connector, the electronic newsletter connecting engineering geologists around the world!
With this issue I am continuing to introduce you to our new vice presidents for the next four years of IAEG. This month I would like to highlight Prof. Eugene A. Voznesensky of Russia who is one of the two new vice presidents for Europe. He is a professor in the Department of Engineering and Environmental Geology at the Lomonosov Moscow State University. He is also Vice Dean of the Faculty of Geology at the university! He will be a superb addition to our new executive committee that starts in January.
Enjoy, Scott Burns, President, IAEG

Dr. Eugene A. Voznesensky, Vice President for Europe
Dr. Eugene A. Voznesensky is a Professor at the Department of Engineering and Environmental Geology, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Geology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia. His primary scope of scientific interest and practice is soil dynamics and seismic liquefaction, small strain stiffness of soils and advanced soil testing. Не is also an expert in geologic hazards risk assessment and in the development of codes of practice in geotechnical engineering. He is the editor-in-chief and co-editor of several professional Russian journals in engineering geology.

 Geology Applied to Engineering represents a thorough and up-to-date textbook for courses in Applied PhysicaI Geology, Geology for Engineers and Engineering Geology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. It
contains appropriate information for geologists and engineers who are involved in designing and constructing
engineering structures, as all structures are located either on the Earth or in the Earth, or composed of earth
materials. This textbook also provides the fundamentals of subject material included in the Examination for
Professional Licensure of Geologists, a growing need for geologists who work in the public sector.

The Joint Technical Committee of the FedIGS has organized in Hong Kong the 2nd JTC1 workshop on "Triggering and Propagation of Rapid Flow-like Landslides."
The workshop, which is co-organized by the Hong Kong Geotechnical Society, the Geotechnical Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, will take place at HKUST Dec. 3-5.
As you know, the JTC1 workshops are intended to deal with advanced scientific topics of interest for the geo-engineering community. A goal of these workshops is also to leave room and enhance the activity of young researchers.
The event will include four keynote lectures delivered by outstanding scientists, the Hutchinson Lecture, a Hungr Oration, eight special lectures presented by young researchers and a bechmarking exercise for landslide runout analysis.

ISEG will organize a three-day National Conference on Prospects and Retrospect in Engineering Geology, Geophysics and Instrumentation at Hyderabad, India, Dec. 3-5 in association with Geological Survey of India on themes of Engineering Geological investigations of various mega civil engineering
works carried out so far and works in progress in the country with a special focus on southern part of the country. As a number of infrastructure projects of national importance are in progress in Southern States, especially
in Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh States, it is apt and pertinent to conduct a National Conference at the moment on related themes at Hyderabad.

In the far North of the globe, hidden under continental sheet ice nearly a kilometre thick, geologists have found evidence that, not so long ago, Greenland was rocked by a collision with a massive meteorite.
The proof? A huge impact crater, 31 kilometers (19.3 miles) in diameter.
