TC 215 Honour Lecture - K. Rowe Lecture.

In 2012 the ISSMGE and TC215 established the "R. Kerry Rowe Lecture" in recognition of Professor Rowe impact in the field of Environmental Geotechnics and excellence in scholarly achievements. The lecture is to be given at the opening plenary session of the International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics (ICEG) and the International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ICSMGE) held every 4 years. It is also published in the Canadian Geotechnical Journal.

1st K. Rowe Lecturer: Prof. Charles D. Shackelford, who delivered his lecture on "The Role of Diffusion in Environmental Geotechnics" at the 18th ICSMGE that was held in Paris, France, September 2013 (paper), and at the 7th ICEG that was held in Melbourne, Australia, November 2014.

2nd K. Rowe Lecturer: Prof. Mario Manassero, who delivered his lecture "On the Fabric and State Parameters of Active Clays for Contaminant Control" at the 19th ICSMGE that was held in Seoul, Korea, September 2017 (paper) and at the 8th ICEG that was held in Hangzhou, China, 28th October - 1st November 2018.

3rd K. Rowe Lecturer: Prof. Abdelmalek Bouazza, who will deliver his lecture at the 20th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering to be held in Sydney, Australia, in 2022 and at the 9th International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics to be held in Chania, Greece, in 2023.
