SAGEEP 2022 ProgramQuick Links: Full Program (including Technical Program Schedule) Leave your keyboard and monitor at home and start planning your trip for the return of SAGEEP 2022 - live and in-person - March 20-24. The Schedule at-a-Glance outlines the sessions, special events and activities and Short Courses being offered in Denver, Colorado beginning March 20.
Event Schedule:The full schedule for the event and dates, times and room locations will be released later this week. Please see the Schedule-at-Glance for the high-level program schedule. Event Highlights:In addition to a rich technical program and commercial exhibition, this year's SAGEEP will feature several new additions. Collaborations with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Colorado Groundwater Association (CGWA) will include keynotes from influential leaders and scientists. Two expert panel sessions will focus on sustainable engineering and climate change and the geophysics future for unmanned aerial vehicles. A special GeOpen House registration will be offered Tuesday afternoon to engage the broader geoprofessional community, and will include access to the evening Geoprofessional Networking Event and SAGEEP Gala. Short-courses by industry and research experts will bookend the event Sunday and Thursday. Sunday, March 20 Ice Breaker Monday, March 21 OPENING SESSION: AWARDS AND KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Awards Ceremony: This event will feature an Awards Ceremony, where the EEGS/Near-Surface Geophysics Technical Section of The Society of Exploration Geophysicists Frank Frischknecht Leadership Award will be presented. Keynote Presentation: It’s just a bunch of squiggly lines There are a lot of available tools in our tool boxes to understand the subsurface. There are some key consideration to ensure the right tools are selected to aid in guiding further investigation efforts. Upfront communication and setting expectations is critical to the success of any project. However, the work does not stop there. The resultant data is not always readily understood by non-geophysicist and is often perceived as “just a bunch of squiggly lines”. To understand subsurface conditions and make data driven risk informed decisions, there needs to be good communication of the resultant data, often in the form of appropriate visualizations. This presentation is focused on the use of geophysics, remote sensing, along with other investigation tools to aid in understanding subsurface conditions and the need to manage and visualize the resultant data in geospatial models to help evaluation and communication efforts. Dr. Georgette Hlepas is the Principal Geotechnical Engineer for the US Army Corps of Engineers and is the lead for the Geotechnical, Geology, and Materials Community of Practice. She is also the lead for the USACE Instrumentation and Performance Monitoring Community of Practice. She has ~15 years of experience in geotechnical engineering and instrumentation and has worked on a variety of geotechnical projects both nationally and internationally. She has a PhD in Civil and Materials Engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago, a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering from Columbia University in New York, and is a licensed Professional Engineer in Illinois. Outdoor Demonstration - Benedict Fountain Park Brewpub "Field Trip" / Fundraiser
Woods Boss Brewing Company has transformed an early 1900 brick building into a beautiful brewery and tap room. They strive to create an all-inclusive experience in their tap room providing 24 taps with 20 craft beers brewed in house with a gluten-free option as well as a root beer and kombucha. Food also can be ordered from nearby delivery restaurants and enjoyed at the tap room Tuesday, March 22 PANEL SESSION - UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAV) at 1:30pm A panel discussion (detailed description) on the current state of the practice and future developments in the application of small unmanned aerial systems for geophysical characterization of the shallow subsurface also known as the “near surface”. Following the panel presentations, the audience is expected to participate in a question and answer opportunity - this is your chance to pose questions and hear from the experts. PANNEL SESSION - Engineering Sustainability and Climate Change at 2:50pm Experts from government agencies, research institutes, and the private sector discuss impacts of climate change on infrastructure and communities and engineering challenges for sustainability. GeOpen House @ SAGEEP The GeOpen House is a special opportunity for the Denver and surrounding geo-community to learn about geophysics, share perspectives, and network across the aisle. Special panels and sessions will explore how geophysics can contribute to environmental and engineering challenges facing society now and in the future. An evening networking reception will provide a fun and inclusive forum for anyone interested in geoscience and engineering, from students to senior professionals. Evening Geoprofessional Networking Event at 5:00pm Come make new connections and new friends! Join delegates, exhibitors, and attendees of the GeOpen House for hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and conversation at the Conference Evening Networking Event. With an easy to use mobile app, you will be automatically matched to others attendees with complementary interests from jobs, to mentorship, professional experience, and more. Go to app.speednetworking.com and complete your brief networking profile now using event code NETWORK@SAGEEP22 – you must have a completed profile and ticket by March 22nd @ 5pm to receive network matching results.
