With multiple stories published per week throughout the year, a biweekly newsletter, numerous international event partners, and a strong presence in social media, Geosynthetica covers much of the world’s geosynthetics field. As we move into the second half of the year, we’ve rounded up our Top 15 stories, in terms of page views (via Google Analytics).
A number of trends can be seen in the list. Videos occupy three of the spots. The International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) is directly tied to three of the most read stories. Geomembrane and containment issues are central to three of the pieces, including the most viewed story–Lee Buchsbaum’s article on the changing regulations for the US coal ash sector.
Also of note in the list, construction quality assurance (CQA) and field-improving measures (e.g., communicating with geotextile suppliers, improving education) appear multiple times.
What will July – December bring? Time, and the field, will tell.
