Geosynthetics International is an official journal of the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) and serves the mandate of the society to disseminate important technical developments to its members.
We are delighted to announce the best paper in Volume 22 (2015) based on votes cast by the Editorial Board Members. In this annual competition, the Editor and Editorial Board Chairman are not eligible for this award and do not vote.
The ‘Best Geosynthetics International Paper for 2015’ award goes to:
Fox, P. J. & Stark, T. D. (2015). State-of-the-art report: GCL shear strength and its measurement – ten-year update. Geosynthetics International, 22, No. 1, 3–47.
The following paper was selected for runner-up and thus receives honourable mention as ‘one of the best papers published in Geosynthetics International in 2015’:
Take, W. A., Brachman, R. W. I. and Rowe, R. K. (2015). Observations of bentonite erosion from solar-driven moisture migration in GCLs covered only by a black geomembrane. Geosynthetics International, 22, No. 1, 78–92.
We thank the members of the Editorial Board for participating in the best paper selection process and congratulate the authors of these excellent papers. Each paper reflects the high standards of the journal and is an important contribution to our geosynthetics discipline.
