Dear Members,
Join us for a special evening presentation by Rolando Orense, who in 2025 received the Geomechanics Lecture Award in recognition of his long-standing contributions to the geotechnical profession in New Zealand.
The NZ Geomechanics Lecture is the premier award of the New Zealand Geotechnical Society. It is presented by a person prominent in Geomechanics who can, in the presentation, contribute a statement of significance and value relevant to New Zealand.
The NZGS Committee would like to specifically mention the exceptional academic work Rolly has carried out through the years and the mentorship to younger generations.
