From mid-September through mid-October, I had the unique opportunity to represent the Division of Environmental Geosciences at four events, and want to share some of the highlights with you.
One of the most gratifying functions I have had the honor to perform as AAPG president is the interaction with those selected to receive awards from AAPG.
Waste is a significant byproduct of many forms of energy production. The waste from nuclear energy production is especially hazardous due to its radioactivity, which has the potential to cause harm to both human and environmental health.
Induced seismicity in the Heartland raises questions about existing scientific models and industry practices.
The AAPG Executive Committee has approved the following list of honors and award winners. The awards will be presented during the opening ceremony of the 2017 Annual Convention & Exhibition, set for April 2-5 in Houston.
Atmospheric methane continues to rise and the scientific evidence is unclear on whether oil and gas operations are the source of the increase.
Attend the AAPG Drone Workshop and Short Course (Nov 30, Dec 1-2 in Houston) and let AAPG launch your new or expanded ventures. Emerge with a project that will help you land contracts and connections. All attendees will learn how to get started with drone-based mapping, and each attendee will receive his or her own AAPG drone-focused project which can help you build your resume. Use your AAPG project to launch your new line of business and new sources of revenue. We will also discuss marketing your services.
During a downturn, diversify! Broaden your base with drones. New information on Unmanned Aircraft Systems, drones, and how they can be utilized in the detection of methane leaks around unconventional gas and oilfield sites, are of great interest in the oil and gas industry today. Dyan Gibbens of Trumbull Unmanned, in Houston, TX will discuss the challenges, advancements and lessons learned at the New Opportunities with Drones: New Needs, FAA Rule Changes, New Technologies workshop December 1-2, 2016, at the Norris Conference Center in Houston, TX.
This is the fifth year that the event will bring together Arctic experts and practitioners from all over the world to share experiences, ideas and network with one another.
