INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR SOIL MECHANICS AND GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING YOUNG MEMBERS P RESIDENTIAL G ROUP

YMPG MEETING MINUTES (8) January 26, 2015 Minutes Prepared By: Jennifer Nicks, Chair A meeting of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering Young Members Presidential Group (YMPG) was held on January 26, 2015 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time in the USA via conference call. Attendees (in alphabetical order by first name): Abdou Xaadir Gaye Aleksandra Chepurnova Cassandra Rutherford Felix Jacobs Jennifer Nicks Juan Ayala Julien McGreevy Lucy Wu Mehdi Omidvar Roger Frank Vlasta Szavits-Nossan Call to Order and Roll Call: Jennifer Nicks called the meeting to order at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time in the USA. Roll call was initiated to obtain an accurate attendance sheet. Some attendees had intermittent connectivity. Corresponding Membership Map Update: There was one YMPG action item resulting from the last ISSMGE Board Meeting: prepare a geographical distribution of the YMPG corresponding members. A map has been developed by the Membership Task Force; a link is available on the ISSMGE website’s Young Members page. As of this meeting, there were 204 CMs, but only 48 had filled out the membership map questionnaire to get on the CM map. Aleksandra will update the map on a monthly basis based on the new submissions to the questionnaire. All YMPG members should be included on the map: please fill out the questionnaire by February 16, 2015. Young Member Flyer Update: Aleksandra Chepurnova sent out an e-mail prior to the YMPG meeting with a sample flyer that was developed to communicate YM activities within the ISSMGE. It was agreed that the focus should be on the YMPG and outlining the opportunities available

for younger members, not on the structure of the ISSMGE. YMPG members should review and provide any feedback to Aleksandra by February 16, 2015. Proposal to PIC: A proposal has been developed to create a series of short online video clips to explain specific geotechnical concepts and applications. The group indicated that this was a good idea that would be very helpful for teachers. The videos could highlight world famous projects to show how geotechnical engineers are involved in important global issues. It was agreed that it would be helpful if the series also included a short clip on what a geotechnical engineer does in various roles. A similar video was created by ASCE for civil engineers in general and something like this may be good with a geotechnical bent. YMPG should review and provide any feedback to Jennifer Nicks by February 16, 2015. The final proposal will then be sent to the Chair of the PIC, Sherif Wissa, and the Board for discussion at the next Board meeting. It was also shared that Sherif Wissa has granted Aleksandra permission to translate the “What is geotech?” video into Russian. Roger Frank followed up with Sherif to have it translated into several languages. It was discussed that it may be a good idea to translate future videos as well into several languages as not all members can speak English. Young Members’ Arena Articles: The YMPG submitted an article the ISSMGE Bulletin for the February 2015 issue; Cassandra Rutherford wrote and coordinated the submission with two other young faculty describing their research and recent NSF CAREER awards. To continue generating content for the Bulletin and provide a means for younger members to publish and learn more, a repository will be set up. All YMPG members will be asked to review papers as they come in. Guidelines for this process will be discussed at the next ISSMGE Board meeting with Charles Ng, the editor of the Bulletin. It was decided that GeoWorld would be the best forum for this YM Arena repository, with a link from the ISSMGE website to communicate the opportunity to other YMs. Mehdi will coordinate with Dimitrios and his team to discuss options within GeoWorld. YMPG members interested in submitting an article are encouraged to do; please follow the template. Website Updates: Lucy Wu has updated the ISSMGE website’s YMPG page to include all of the task forces. A preliminary list of to-do/desired action items for the different websites has been developed; YMPG should update this by February 16, 2015 with anything they think would be helpful. We can then divvy up the work and start completing them to improve the websites content. A strong link with the IDC is needed as there may be some reorganizations going on, which will be discussed at the next ISSMGE Board Meeting.
