Professor Chandler was awarded the Lyell Fund of the Geological Society of London in 1979 for his work on the stability of slopes. He was the first recipient, in 1985, of the Award of the Engineering Group, Geological Society of London for ‘a major contribution relating an understanding of geology to engineering geology’, and received the British Geotechnical Society Prize in 1985 for the paper ‘Recent European experience of landslides in overconsolidated clays and soft rocks’.

In addition to the 3rd Glossop Lecture, on 3 November 1999, other prestigious lectures that Professor Chandler has been invited to give have included invited state-of-the-art lectures at the 4th International Symposium on . . . [Full Text of this Article]
