Holdredge Award
The Holdredge Award, first established in 1962 by the Association of Environmental & 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 judged 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, is presented at the Annual Banquet. Nominations are due March 15 each year and should be submitted to Headquarters.
