At ARGO-E GROUP, we are committed to preserving the contributions of influential figures in geotechnical engineering. As part of this effort, we are proud to introduce the Richard D. Woods Legacy Website on Geoengineer.org, one of the leading platforms in our company’s network of websites. This dedicated space celebrates his remarkable career and lasting impact on the field.

Professor Woods, a longtime faculty member at the University of Michigan, was a pioneer in soil dynamics and geophysics. His work shaped generations of engineers, and his influence continues to be felt today. This new website brings together a wealth of materials highlighting his research, teaching, and consulting contributions.

Visitors can explore a collection of testimonials from colleagues, students, and friends, as well as a dedicated section preserving moments from his memorial service through text, images, and videos. The site also features an extensive gallery of photos and historical materials, along with a rich archive of videos. Among them is a special four-part, five-hour conversation between Professor Woods and Professor Dimitrios Zekkos, where he reflects on his professional journey, experiences, and the students he mentored.

This is the third legacy website launched on Geoengineer.org, following the tributes to Professors Ralph Peck and James K. Mitchell. We invite you to explore this latest addition and join us in celebrating Professor Woods’ extraordinary legacy. If you have any photos, testimonials, or other materials related to his work, please reach out—we would be honored to include them.
