AEG Foundation 2026 Annual Meeting Best Presentation Award - This year at our 2026 Annual Meeting in Chattanooga, Tennessee we had the first ever awards for best presentation and best presentation or poster by an early career or young professional. We want to thank Bruce Hilton, AEG Foundation Officer, and all of the many volunteers that made this possible, including our valuable moderators. This year‘s presentations continued to demonstrate the advancement of our profession in science, technology, and presentation skills. The choice for only two of those 126 was extremely difficult, but after thorough evaluation, the winners were:

Nate Bolles, Focus on the Foundation: Integrating Multiple Lines of Evidence in Dam Foundation Characterization in the Dams & Levees Symposium

Matthew Smith, Investigating the Seasonal Variation of Turbidity in the Tennessee River using Landsat Satellite Imagery in the Environmental Geology Applications session.

Both of these recipients were awarded special glass plaques, and a certificate for their fine presentations at the Corporate Business meeting on Friday. Please congratulate both of these fine professionals. Their presentations were fantastic!
