Dr. Lorne G. Everett was presented the ASTM International Technical Editors Award by Dr. Jack T Germaine, the Chairman of the ASTM Soil and Rock Committee (D18). The Award was presented during the Annual ASTM International Meeting held in June 2015 in Anaheim, California. The Award recognizes the book: Continuous Soil Gas Measurements: Worst Case Risk Parameters (ASTM Special Technical Publication STP 1570) edited by Dr. Everett and Dr. Mark Kram. This volume assembled papers from an earlier international symposium that was also co-chaired by Drs. Everett and Kram. The book is seen as an important contribution to the field of vapor intrusion because it is the first volume to focus on the dynamic behavior of soil gas and its effect on vapor intrusion.
