SAGEEP 2024 Luncheons/Conference Events/ActivitiesLuncheons:Monday, March 25, 2024 Several questions and uncertainties hinder widespread applications of geophysical methods for environmental and groundwater investigations. This contribution identifies three main impediments to the application of geophysics for environmental and groundwater investigations and presents some strategies for mitigation. To utilize geophysical methods to the fullest capability, we suggest that geophysical surveys should be completed or included before any subsurface investigation to understand earth processes, monitor these processes, and to characterize systems and structures. In academia, innovation and development continues at a great pace; but has the practice and application of geophysics kept up? Is geophysics avoided by scientists and/or project managers who had bad experiences with geophysics in the past? Do potential end users not understand geophysical terminology and what geophysics can and cannot accomplish? Tuesday March 26, 2024 The Education Committee cordially invites you to join us for lunch and a panel discussion to learn about the skills and qualities that public and private sector professionals are seeking from rising geophysicists. Discussions will be catered toward those interested in entry level positions and related early career topics. A Mentoring365 Circle will be made available so that attendees may submit questions before the panel starts. Geophysicist Panel: This event is sponsored by Iris Instruments. Events and ActivitiesMonday, March 25, 2024 Monday, March 25, 2024 The Screamery (0.5mi, 10 min walk from Tucson Convention Center - TCC) After the first day of SAGEEP oral and poster presentations, we invite all attendees to take a short stroll and chill out! Come network with fellow EEGS members and SAGEEP attendees at The Screamery over your favorite scoop (or two) of ice cream! Attention Students: The first 50 students will receive their first scoop FREE after introducing yourself to the Education Committee Chair! (Need to do a bit of research? Hint: Committee Chairs.) This event is sponsored by the EEGS Education Committee. Tuesday, March 26, 2024 Corbett Building, which was designed in 1930 by Tucson architect Roy Place, is located at one of the most historic addresses in Tucson. Enjoy a delicious buffet from the kitchen of Chef Omar Huerta, a complimentary drink, music and the option to participate in one of the fastest growing sports in America: Pickleball. (Be sure to bring sneakers!) SAGEEP attendees will have exclusive use of 2 courts during the evening curtesy of EXPLORATION INSTRUMENTS.
Thursday, March 28, 2024 - THE FIELD TRIP IS FULL and no more registrations will be accepted. The Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society is collaborating with American Institute of Professional Geologists to host a field trip that will be open to conference participants and AIPG Arizona Section members. We will be visiting two different mineral deposits located near the town of Casa Grande, Arizona. The deposits are portions of a large porphyry copper system that has been dismembered and displaced by northwest trending faults. We will stop first at the Cactus Project, which is owned by Arizona Sonoran Copper Company, Inc. The Cactus Project includes the historic Sacaton open pit mine, which was operated in the 1970s and 1980s. The Cactus Project includes the existing open pit and stockpile, plus exploration of an adjacent deposit. The second stop will be at the Ivanhoe Electric Santa Cruz Project, located in close proximity to the first stop, and is believed to be geologically related. The Santa Cruz Project consists of five separate areas. There were a variety of geophysical surveys carried out in 2021 through 2022. |
