- W1993472011 abstract "Peter Fookes' career began in the 1950s, not in geology but chemistry. This soon changed and the world of applied geology has much to be thankful for. When he began there was a loosely coined ‘geology for engineers’ but no formal career structure in engineering geology. The difference was the move towards practitioners specifically trained in understanding ground problems that arise in civil engineering and in the techniques of ground description, classification and investigation for civil engineering development. He played a leading role in the development of the first engineering geology Masters degree course at Imperial College, helping to establish the subject as an essential component of civil engineering. Less well known to geologists, he was also heavily involved in the development of aspects of concrete technology and engineering geomorphology. In addition, he has made major contributions to the science, especially focusing on the development of geological models. He has published over 180 technical papers (46 since what many would consider to be a normal retirement age!), many books and has participated in numerous national and international committees. A full chronological list of his publications is given in the Bibliography. He is a past-Chairman of the Engineering Group and has initiated and chaired many working party reports in UK and overseas, often milestones in the advancement of the subject. He has been the recipient of major awards in recognition of his contribution to engineering geology, applied geomorphology, civil engineering, concrete technology and geotechnical engineering. Throughout, he has preferred the role of practitioner rather than becoming involved in geopolitics. This paper summarizes his considerable contribution to the science and profession.I have known Peter first as his student, then as a colleague and friend and feel honoured to have been invited to write this account of his contribution to the profession. …" @default.
