CLAIRE P. HOLDREDGE AWARD

This award, first established in 1962 by the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists, is named in honor of Claire P. Holdredge, a founding member and the first President of the Association. The award is presented for a publication by an AEG Member(s) within the 5 previous years that is adjudged to be an outstanding contribution to the Engineering Geology profession. Nominations for this award are made by the membership at large to the Awards Committee. The Committee, at its discretion, selects a candidate from the nominees for confirmation by the President. The award, not necessarily conferred annually, consists of an engraved plaque which is presented at the Annual Banquet.
