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 23 (2016) 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 2016’ award goes to:
Rouf, M. A., Bouazza, A., Singh, R. M., Gates, W. P. & Rowe, R. K. (2016). Water vapour adsorption and desorption in GCLs. Geosynthetics International, 23, No. 2, 86–99.
The following two papers were selected for runner-up and thus each receives honourable mention as ‘one of the best papers published in Geosynthetics International in 2016’:
Rentz A. K., Take W. A., Brachman R. W. I. & Rowe R. K. (2016). Effect of geomembrane colour and cover soil on solar-driven down-slope bentonite erosion from a GCL. Geosynthetics International, 23, No. 4, 257–270.
Górniak, J., Villard, P. & Delmas, P. (2016). Coupled discrete and finite-element modelling of geosynthetic tubes filled with granular material. Geosynthetics International, 23, No. 5, 362–380.
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. All IGS members have free access to these papers, as they have free access to all papers published in the Journal.
Geosynthetics International is published by Thomas Telford Ltd.
