| 摘要： | The Robert and Mitchell Landreth "Steward of the Environment" award was established in 2021. It is in honor of Robert Landreth (1939-2021) and his wife, Mitchell. The annual award is bestowed by the Geosynthetic Institute (GSI) in recognition of "distinguished engineering achievement related to the environment" by a college faculty member, graduate student or post doctorate working with geosynthetics. Robert E. Landreth rose to the rank of captain in the U.S. Department of Public Health. As the research director at the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), he advocated for research funding that made it possible to spearhead efforts in geosynthetics during the 1980s and 1990s. The pioneering research that transpired changed regulations and the way that waste is managed throughout the world. Landreth's guidance, determination and hard work are a testament to the very best of our nation's public servants. His critical leadership role at the EPA improved the environment by incorporating geosynthetics into waste containment systems. |
