We are sad to announce the death on the 27th January 2025 of Emeritus Professor Andrew Schofield FRS FREng at the age of 94. Andrew has been a pivotal figure in geotechnical engineering at the University of Cambridge, in the UK and around the world. His two key contributions were the authorship with Peter Wroth of the seminal book Critical State Soil Mechanics, and his pioneering contributions to the design and use of geotechnical centrifuges for physical modelling. He delivered the 20th Rankine Lecture in 1980. A longer obituary will follow in due course.
The British Geotechnical Association (BGA) is the principal association for geotechnical engineers in the UK.
