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 results of the competition for best paper in Volume 29 (2022) based on votes cast by the Editorial Board Members. In this annual competition, the Editor-in-Chief and Editors do not vote.
