Professor David White has been awarded the British Geotechnical Association (BGA) Medal for his paper, co-authored with Dr Johnny Cheuk (a former visitor to COFS, now with AECOM, Hong Kong).

The paper: Cheuk, C.Y. and White, D.J. (2011) Modelling the dynamic embedment of seabed pipelines, Geotechnique , 61 (1): 39-57.

The medal is awarded annually by the BGA for the best geotechnical engineering paper published each year.  The medal will be presented to the authors at a BGA Annual General Meeting in September, at the Institution of Civil Engineers, London, UK.

Professor White has now been awarded the BGA medal on three occasions in his career - a record exceeded only by COFS' Winthrop Professor Mark Randolph, who has won it four times.
