Drones and Surface Digital Data: 2 Short Courses + a GTW = Expanded Career Opportunities
AAPG Short Courses and Workshop — All in Houston, TX | November 29-30 and December 1-2, 2016
Don't get left behind! Drones and drone-derived digital data are the hottest growth areas around. Combine your geoscience knowledge with new technology, both on the data acquisition side (fly that drone!) and in the project design and data interpretation (make high-powered maps and see what no one else has seen!).
AAPG is offering two courses and a two-day GTW to equip you with practical knowledge you can leverage into a great new career opportunity.
Combining a workshop with two courses is a great way to expand your knowledge and save time in your already hectic schedule."The New Opportunities with Drones: New Needs, FAA Rule Changes, New Technologies" workshop brings together experts, equipment providers, robotics experts, and others knowledgeable in a wide range of commercial drone usage, which includes monitoring in the oil industry, digital outcrop surveying, safety and security monitoring, utility inspection, real estate, agriculture, construction, environmental protection, and more.
"Working with Drone Data 101" short course, is beneficial to anyone interested in learning more about Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and how they can play a part in mapping and information services. Drones are used in the oil and gas industry from upstream to downstream, and in many other industries.
The second course, "Use of Surface Geochemistry in Petroleum Exploration" is a one day discussion of the use of surface geochemistry in petroleum exploration for conventional production. This course will help utilize an additional tool in the toolbox to find conventional oil and gas in mature to unexploited basins.
Start with, "Use of Surface Geochemistry in Petroleum Exploration" course, on November 29, 2016. This course is a one day discussion of the use of surface geochemistry in petroleum exploration for conventional production. Topics will include theory of vertical migration, optimal sampling methods, caveats, statistical analysis of data, radiometrics, iodine, soil gas, petroleum fluorescence, microbial, XRF and trace metals to locate areas of micro-seepage. Several case histories integrated with seismic and subsurface geology both domestically and internationally. Register today.
Next, Working with Drone Data 101, November 30, 2016, is a primer course on processing UAS acquired data, and leveraging it in common business platforms such as ArcGIS, Google Earth, SketchFAB and others. Students are encouraged to bring their own challenges to the course. You'll learn about the types of data that can be acquired by drones, how to render that data into 3D models, orthomosaic and NDVI maps, importing the rendered data into business platforms such as ArcGIS, Google Earth and SketchFAB. Register today.
The Geosciences Technology Workshop, "New Opportunities with Drones: New Needs, FAA Rule Changes, New Technologies" December 1-2, 2016, is a two day event that presents information on commercial drone/Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and how to get started and use the mapping and information services to diversify and expand your business. Register today.
Great information and excellent instructors. Register today for the event that fits best. For information on Laid-off/Student registration, contact Stephanie Brown.
