The AGS has been notified that the industry giant and previous ISSMGE President, Professor Michele Jamiolkowski, passed away last week. The loss of Professor Jamiolkowski is a very sad day for the geomechanics profession, both in terms of the experience and expertise lost, as well as the unwavering advocate that we had for our industry.
