   Introduction
 
The Glossop Lecturer this year is Professor Martin Culshaw.

Martin is the British Geological Survey's Chief Engineering Geologist and he manages the BGS's Urban Geoscience and Geological Hazards Programme. Previously, he managed the Survey's Coastal and Engineering Geology Group, and the Engineering Geology and Geophysics Group. He has been involved in engineering geological research and consultancy, environmental and engineering geological mapping, geo-hazard assessment and site investigation for over thirty years. During this time he has spent a number of years overseas in Asia, Africa, Europe and Central America.

He has been a project team member, project leader and programme manager on a large number of projects in the UK and overseas. Many of these projects involved geohazard assessment. These include:

Two years in Indonesia carrying out engineering geological mapping and landslide hazard assessment
A year in Sri Lanka working on investigations for small dams
Geotechnical assessment projects in Indonesia, Kenya and Dominica
Seismic hazard projects in Greece, Costa Rica and China
Advised on the setting up of geotechnical laboratories in Chile, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Ethiopia.

He has worked extensively throughout the UK on engineering and geohazard projects including:

Setting up a series of national geohazard databases
Devising a geohazard rating system for the whole of Britain for use by the British insurance industry
Developing an environmental information system for planners.

He received the Engineering Group's Award for 1989 and he is a former Chair of the Engineering Group and currently represents UK interests in the International Association of Engineering . . . [Full Text of this Article]
