Proposal to Eliminate Geology Board |
Presentations on April 12, 2012 On Thursday April 12, oral and poster presentations will take place at the Madren Center located on the Clemson University campus. The presentations will cover a diverse assortment of topics including characterization, monitoring, remediation and many others at various scales (lab to watershed). You can directly influence the content and tone of this event by submitting an abstract and giving a presentation of your work. Abstracts are due March 1. We are actively encouraging participants to propose theme sessions, solicit abstracts and moderate their session. Click here for more info. The keynote speaker will be the 2012 Darcy Lecturer : Dr. S. Majid Hassanizadeh. He will present his research and talk about "Transport of Viruses in Partially Saturated Soil and Groundwater". This years field trip will explore the connections between geology and botany in the Eastatoe Valley area. The field trips will be led by Jack Garihan of Furman University and Tom Goforth. All field trips are identical in nature. A panel discussion on the Sustainability of Geology as Profession will convene in the BellSouth Auditorium form 4-5 PM. This panel will discuss the identity issues faced by geologists, expecially in light of the current efforts to eliminate the SC Board of Registration for Geologists. A special offering this year is a workshop about managing projects given by Tom Temples. Registration in this short course given during the afternoon sessions is free if you register for the whole day event. Each event earns you 8 continuing education (CEC) hours for SC Professional Geologists. If you attend both the presentation and one field trip you would earn 16 CECs. The registration cost for the event includes refreshments and lunch. Pre-registration ends on March 23rd. You can register online after that date and/or at the event (register at door: $160). The post-Symposium mixer at the Geology Museum is made possible by the generosity of alumni and other sponsors. The Clemson Hydrogeology Symposium is an on-going effort to engage and educate the hydrogeological community at large whether from industry or academia. Our primary focus is on geologic and hydrologic issues in the southeast US but it is not restricted to any geographic extent. Our long term goal has been to offer an opportunity for industry related projects to intermingle with academic research and bridge the gap that has traditionally separated these two endeavors.
