The 74th Highway Geology Symposium
The 74th Highway Geology Symposium in Morgantown, West Virginia was held from August 11th through 14th, 2025. We thank every one that could attend for sharing your knowledge, experiences, and being there with us. We hope you enjoyed Morgantown, and look forward to seeing you in Reno, Nevada.
Calling Young Authors
The Highway Geology Symposium has existed for nearly 70 years and over the years has had much participation by what might be considered “Young Authors”. This participation by our younger professionals has been fabulous and is a true benefit to the Symposium and the Mission of HGS. In recent years, HGS has taken participation of Young Authors to another level by sponsoring a competition with both financial, registration and award recognition. This is an annual and perpetual award with up to three awards presented. We are very excited about this continued opportunity for participation by Young Authors and we encourage you to submit your paper and to present your work at the Symposium. If you know a Young Author that should join this competition, encourage them to check out the guidelines and submit their abstract. HGS is all about sharing our geologic technical experiences and we look forward to hearing about and learning from your experience. So please see the links for guidelines and participation requirements as well as award details.
