All-Stars Visit Target Field During Midwest GeoSciences Group Courses

Course attendees from Minnesota and Wisconsin dominated the Owner's Boardroom at Target Field during two ground water courses during the first week in June.  Their all-star dedication to emerging technologies coupled with DNAPL issues were matched by those traveling from across the United States, Canada and Sweden.

The 2014 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be played at Target Field in July. Midwest GeoSciences Group extends a hearty thanks to Target Field for allowing access into the Owner's Boardroom for three-days of ground water courses.

Course Venue Location
Ken Bradbury and David Hart started the week with their industry-vision of emerging technologies and conceptual approaches for ground water in fractured rock settings.  Allen Shapiro and Maureen Muldoon were the headliner with their 2-day course dedicated to the Fate and Transport of DNAPL in fractured rock aquifers.

Allen Shapiro and the other instructors gave a glimpse into the future of ground water remediation.... and clean up limitations.  Attendee feedback was powerful - thank you to the course attendees for your interactive participation and especially for your positive feedback and encouragement for future courses.  We never take your registration  - or words -  for granted...and we appreciate your support.

We listen and learn from you .... plus we are practitioners too.  We respond to you and industry trends by developing courses, webinars and field tools that aim for best practice procedures and meaningful technical approaches.  As a result, a special 23-webinar series called The Contaminants of Concern Webinar Series was developed and you're invited to experience it.

What is this webinar series all about?
The Contaminants of Concern Webinar Series includes emerging contaminants that are just now receiving public attention; challenging, fast-moving, persistent contaminants; and managed contaminant sources in the environment like: 

Emerging Contaminants

  • 1,4-dioxane
  • Perfluorchemicals (PFCs)
  • 1,2,3-trichloropropane
  • Pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and antibiotics
  • Perchlorate
  • Viruses and bacteria

Challenging, persistent chemicals

  • MTBE/TBA
  • Coal tar and wood-treatment chemicals
  • Arsenic
  • Chromium

Managed contaminant sources

  • Landfill leachate/landfill gas
  • Road Salt
Why is this webinar series important?
Remediation technology is ever increasing, and with it, the demand for the latest up-to-date information. Midwest GeoSciences Group meets the need with the Contaminants of Concern Webinar Series for professionals working in the fields of environmental consulting, site remediation, groundwater investigations, water quality issues, and brown field developments. The series highlights Instructors who are recognized experts from government and industry.

Regulators, consultants, engineers and hydrogeologists will appreciate the webinars for providing an overview of the various contaminant's origin, chemistry, means of site characterization, environmental fate and transport, remediation technologies, and discussion of real-world cases studies.


What are some advantages of MidwestGeo Webinars?
Our webinars are designed to be the highest quality webinars available in the environmental and engineering industry, period. I realize that's a bold statement, but its our goal.  We are selective about our instructors and how they teach their material.  Our instructors don't read a chapter out of a text book during a webinar nor will you find yourself "out of luck" if you miss it or have an unforeseen circumstance if you cannot access an event, for any reason.
