I am honoured to receive the Editor of Distinction Awards 2025 from Springer Nature, in recognition of my editorial leadership and long-standing service to the International Journal of Geosynthetics and Ground Engineering (IGGE).
It has been my privilege to serve as the Founding Editor-in-Chief since the journal’s launch in 2014. Over the years, we have worked together to grow IGGE into a respected international platform for advancing knowledge in geosynthetics and ground engineering.
I am happy to share some key metrics for the journal:
•CiteScore: 4.6 (2024)
•Impact Factor: 2.4 (2023)
•SJR: 0.68 (2024)
•Downloads: 115.4k (2024)
IGGE is indexed in Scopus and Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) — a result of the collective efforts of our editorial board, authors, reviewers, and readers worldwide.
Thank you all for your continued support. Let us keep working together to build a more sustainable and resilient future through high-quality research, which our world needs today and in the years to come. @SpringerGeo@SpringerEng@CGIPerth#Geosynthetics#GroundEngineering#EngineeringResearch#EditorialLeadership#IGGE#Sustainability#AcademicPublishing#CivilEngineeringlink.springer.com/journal/40…
2025 marks 100 years of Soil Mechanics!
In 1925, Karl Terzaghi, recognised as the father of soil mechanics, published his groundbreaking book “Erdbaumechanik auf bodenphysikalischer Grundlage”, the first to define soil mechanics as a scientific discipline.
A century later, his legacy continues to shape geotechnical engineering worldwide. Let us celebrate this milestone by honouring the past, advancing the present and inspiring the future of ground engineering.
My textbook, ICE Core Concepts: Soil Mechanics (2025), 2nd Edition, published by Emerald/ICE Publishing, London, contributes to this legacy by providing a clear and practical foundation in soil mechanics for future generations of students, engineers and researchers.
