Professor Pierre Julien and Associate Professor Peter Nelson will each receive an honorable mention at the 40^th World Congress of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) in Vienna next month.

Julien was awarded second place for the 2023 M. Selim Yalin Lifetime Achievement Award. The award is conferred upon an IAHR member whose experimental, theoretical, or numerical research has resulted in significant and enduring contributions to the understanding of the physics of phenomena and/or processes in hydraulic science or engineering and who has demonstrated outstanding skills in graduate teaching and supervision.

Nelson received second place after being named a finalist for the 2023 Arthur Thomas Ippen Award. The award is given every two years to an IAHR member who has demonstrated conspicuously outstanding ability, originality, and accomplishment in basic hydraulic research and/or applied hydraulic engineering and holds great promise for continuing a high level of productivity in the profession.

Congratulations to Pierre Julien and Peter Nelson on this recognition of their contributions to the field of hydraulic engineering.
