The ASCE Seattle Section Geotechnical Group/Geo-Institute Seattle Chapter is pleased to announce our 37th annual Spring Seminar, which will be held on Saturday, May 13, 2023 at the University of Washington campus in Seattle, Washington.
This year’s seminar will honor the career of Professor Steven L.

The seminar program will include presentations from Dr. Kramer’s colleagues, research collaborators, and former students including:
- Pedro Arduino, University of Washington

- Ellen Rathje, University of Texas at Austin
- Jonathan Stewart, University of California, Los Angeles
The invited speakers will present on a range of topics relevant to Professor Kramer’s contributions, including performance-based earthquake geotechnics, liquefaction hazard evaluation, site response analysis, and advances in earthquake reconnaissance and construction monitoring.
Planning for the spring seminar is currently underway. We will provide updates with more details in the coming months. We hope you will save the date and to see you on May 13, 2023!
