Geo-Congress is the annual meeting of the Geo-Institute - sort of a geotechnical family reunion. Every year in February or March, our community gathers for amazing keynotes, great technical talks, the biggest geotechnical exhibit hall in North America, and a lot of fun! To prepare for the 2024 conference in Vancouver, we bring you a series of live streams featuring case histories from the Pacific Northwest! Our second in the series will be presented Tuesday, November 14, at 2pm ET. Joe Wartman of the University of Washington will present on the 2014 Oso Landslide! The title of his talk is "Shifting Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest: The 2014 Oso, Washington Landslide." Joseph Wartman directs the Natural Hazard and Disaster Reconnaissance (RAPID) Facility, headquartered at the Uns. Over the past two decades, he has investigated and analyzed major geologic hazard events worldwide, including earthquakes, hurricanes, and landslides. Wartman’s research appears in such journals as the ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, Engineering Geology, Geomorphology, GeoHealth, Scientific Advances, and the International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, among others. In addition to his scientific publications, Dr. Wartman’s prize-winning non-technical writing on disasters has appeared in the New York Times, the Seattle Times, and EOS, and other venues. The Geo-Institute is a technical society with about 12,000 geotechnical engineers and geologists as members.
