Welcome to the latest edition of AGS Magazine, where we continue to explore, inform, and celebrate the ever-evolving world of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering.

In this issue, we examine the analytical challenges and evolving methods of interpreting historical soil data, delve into material management plans, and look at increasing and emerging environmental disputes.

We also present the Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Industry Accident Statistics for 2024, providing valuable insights into safety performance and highlighting the continued importance of diligence and improvement across the sector.

Looking ahead, nurturing future talent remains central to the AGS mission. This edition proudly features the Early Careers flyer and article, Securing the Future of Geoscience. Entries are also open for the AGS Early Careers Poster Competition on the theme of “Top Five Industry Insights.” Additionally, we spotlight the Ground Forum Undergraduate Mentoring Programme – a fantastic opportunity for experienced professionals to inspire and guide the next generation of ground engineers.

Finally, we’re delighted to unveil the winners of the AGS Photography Competition 2025. Congratulations to all!
