Jahns Distinguished Lecturer

Richard H. Jahns: 1915-1983

This award was established in 1988 in co-sponsorship with the Engineering Geology Division of the Geological Society of America to provide funding for a distinguished Engineering Geologist to present an annual series of lectures at academic institutions in order to increase awareness of students about careers in Engineering Geology. The award includes a plaque presented at the Annual Banquet preceding the award year. Additionally, an honorarium is supplied to offset lecturer costs.

The Richard H. Jahns Fund of the AEG Foundation supports the travel expenses or honoraria, of the selected speakers who present information about engineering geology and environmental geology to diverse practitioners, student, faculty, and public audiences.
