Association of Engineering Geologists 2015 Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh

Engineering geology is among my favorite geoscience subjects.  The applied nature of designing structures based on the subsurface require a true mastery of multidimensional disciplines.  Engineering geologists truly inspire me because of the process where lessons are learned from project to project based on the critical nature of constant improvement for engineering success.

The annual meeting in Pittsburgh this week is chock full of great examples of how engineering geologists prioritize protection of human life ranging from mechanical factors of safety to simple love for people.  For example, today a keynote speaker shared a research project about identifying a high probability for a potential landslide will likely save many lives. 

Midwest GeoSciences Group is honored to contribute to the 2015 AEG Annual Meeting through our exhibitor booth, technical presentations and teaching a short course about rock core logging.  It's our priveledge to contribute to such a thoughtful and meaningful organization.

NOVCARE 2015 is an bi-annual international conference dedicated to NOVel site ChARactEriation technologies and approaches.   This year the conference was held at Kansas University for the first time and it was spectacular.

Evening Banquet topped off the day of Field Demonstrations

Multiple key note speakers anchored each thematic segment.  The power of this conference is it's thoughtful design to select applied researchers who are essentially visionaries within their area of expertise.  I once described how NOVCARE presents a glimpse into the future about subsurface characterization tools in the same way the AutoShow presents both new and futuristic cars.  I wasn't far off.

Thank you to the small army of organizers, facilitators, and hosts.  You made it fun and fruitful for the attendees.  See you again in 2017!

ON-DEMAND WEBINARS: Milestone Achievement with Thanks

Thanks to all of the webinar participants who access our ON-DEMAND WEBINARS!   It is a privilege to serve you while promoting best practices among professionals on a global scale.

Midwest GeoSciences Group recognize the difficulty in keeping up to date with technical advances in our environmental and engineering industry.  What we strive to do is provide meaningful education and training that you can readily use in your own work.  We are motivated to serve you and hope that our collaborative efforts fulfill our human purpose and global stewardship.  

Midwest GeoSciences Group reached another milestone offering 70 webinars in the on-demand library!   We are thrilled to grow our library of on-demand webinars that show case some of the most valuable attributes:

• Meaningful Subjects
• Recognized Expert Instructors
• CEU certificates available from Northern Illinois University
• 90-minute sessions that include the unlimited Question and Answer (post-webinar) session
• Unlimited attendance at one location from one computer site.
• Candid and expert insights that are found no where else on the web 

 Every webinar includes at least TWO FREE HANDOUTS:

1. Webinar Session Slides
2. Record of Attendance Forms

Every participant has the option to order a webinar completion certificate from Northern Illinois University for 90 minutes showing 0.15 Continuing Education Units (1.5 PDH equivalent).

We learn that most participants order MidwestGeo Webinars to increase their knowledge and skills from nationally and internationally-recognized experts....and they grab their CEUs along the way.  If you join one of our webinars solely for CEUs, we believe that you'll return for the high-quality and meaningful instruction.

Thank you again to all those who have ordered on-demand webinars ... and live webinars too!  We never take your participation for granted and we want you to always achieve your educational and training objectives whether you take a webinar or an on-site short course!
