The BGA is very sad to hear that Dr. Angus Skinner passed
away on 1st April 2024.

Angus was a Lecturer in Soil Mechanics at
Imperial College from 1967 to 1998, making huge and often understated
contributions to the development of the subject through his innovative experimental
research into the behaviour of particulate materials. His contributions to the
teaching of soil mechanics are also renowned among students, researchers and
staff at Imperial College. Angus regularly attended and contributed to lively
discussions at BGA events and he will be missed.

Our condolences go to his
family.
