FINAL CHANCE TO REGISTER FOR BOOK LAUNCH OF ‘ENGINEERING GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY OF GLACIATED AND PERIGLACIATED TERRAINS’, 1st JUNE 2016. Publicity for the book launch has initiated considerable interest and discussion across the ground engineering community. However, with the current number of delegates registered, we may regrettably have to cancel the event. We know that as busy professionals we like leaving registration until the last minute, but please can we urge you all to spread the word and register to attend *by Friday 20th May* so that we can make a decision on the event viability? This important state-of-the-art publication is the outcome of four years collaboration between Quaternary geographers, geomorphologists, engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers. The book will have a significant impact on the way that ground models are developed in the UK and similar environments overseas, which will influence future ground investigation specification, modelling, design and construction practice. The book launch seminar will provide a concise overview of the report structure and proposed methodology, with the opportunity to hear directly from the leaders in the field *(including four Glossop Medal Lecturers)*and discuss the implications for UK practice. The panel discussion at the end of the seminar will include representatives from key client organisations, as well as the working party members and lead authors. This is the one and only time that you will be able to get an overview presented of a piece of work that will change ground engineering in practice. As such, attending the book launch will be of immense value to team and section leaders within industry who will have to offer the opportunity of being up to date on this subject to their clients, and supervise those under their current practice as they embrace this work. This one day could save many days of work in the office. Please email the convenor ([log in to unmask]) if you are planning to attend the event but have not yet registered, or if you have any other queries. -- Dave Giles BSc (Hons), PhD, CGeol, FGS, FHEA Principal Lecturer in Engineering Geology Chartered Geologist School of Earth & Environmental Sciences Burnaby Building University of Portsmouth Tel. 023 92842248 *[image: twitter icon] @Davyg50 *[image: browser, earth, globe, internet, url icon] www.geohazards.info
