Register now for the #webinar “ADVANCEing FieldSafety: Training for diverse and inclusive geoscience teams – A new course and toolkit,” Friday, May 3. ADVANCEing FieldSafety is a program that provides field research teams with the training and tools to promote #safe and #inclusive environments, identify and mitigate unsafe and harmful behaviors, and create a culture within field teams that reduces the likelihood and impact of these behaviors in the future. During this webinar, the next in the AGU/AGI Heads and Chairs series, the panelists will discuss: the development of an asynchronous online training course and an accompanying toolkit of references and resources for field teams, the different certification pathways for training participants, how the training addresses the new NSF PAPPG for safe and inclusive field environments (2E9), and our research plan for studying the effectiveness of the training course and Toolkit resources for participants and field teams. ADVANCEing FieldSafety is an NSF-funded collaboration between CU-Boulder and the ADVANCEGeo Partnership. Learn more and register: https://lnkd.in/eCt5MQt9

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to register for the NYSCPG and Midwest GeoSciences Group two-day collaboration course aimed at guiding professional groundwater scientists, engineers, project managers, and all others who are tasked with subsurface work. Course Elements •Understand how fluid flow and contaminant transport in fractured rock fundamentally differs from granular porous media. •Conceptualize fracture flow and contaminant transport at the field-scale for a variety of rock types, fracture patterns, and tectonic settings. •Distinguish between discrete fracture network and equivalent continuum representations, including simplifying assumptions and suitable applications. •Link fracture attributes such as orientation, density, length, spacing and clustering to fluid flow and contaminant transport behavior. •Apply site-specific fracture information to develop transport predictions and remedial strategies. •The New PFAS Workshop that has been added this year The course will provide 16 PDH credits for NY PGs and PEs, 960 minutes for Pennsylvania PGs, and Certificate from West Chester University for attending the course in its entirety. NYSCPG members will receive a $150 discount when signing up on the Midwest GeoScience’s website using the coupon code NYSCPG-SAV150.

❓ What should you do now that burrowing owl is a candidate for CESA listing? 🗺️Use our interactive mapping tool to determine whether your project site is subject to burrowing owl mitigation measures of an existing HCP/NCCP. https://lnkd.in/gr9sdKEK ⭕If your project site IS in within the boundaries of an existing HCP/NCCP, you'll need to research the plan's mitigation requirements. 🚫 If your project site IS NOT within the boundaries of an existing HCP/NCCP, you will still be expected to address the species and possibly implement avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to reduce impacts to the species.

Full Discussion – Part 2: Producing Indigenous Professional Geoscientists for the E&P Industry We’re excited to share Part 2 of the full discussion from the session, "Producing Indigenous Professional Geoscientists for the E&P Industry (Canadian Case Study)." In this segment, the focus shifts to: ✅ Strategies for adopting self-regulation in Pakistan’s geoscience community ✅ Practical steps for implementing Canadian-inspired professional standards ✅ How these changes can foster innovation and sustainability in the E&P sector 📢 Follow us for more updates and upcoming parts: Facebook: https://lnkd.in/e29Uzspr YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eSf-jwXk LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/eggEJPbs Stay tuned for the next part of this insightful series and more updates! #PAPG #OGDCL #Geoscience #Innovation #Conference

Seismic data doesn’t work in a vacuum, literally. But it doesn’t work figuratively, either, without the perfect blend of geology and geophysics. "Understanding Seismic Data: Time, Depth, and Geology" gets to the heart of that connection. This course unpacks time-depth conversion, velocity models, and uncertainty—giving you practical tools to interpret seismic data with confidence and clarity. Join David Kessler, Ron Kerr, John Byrd, and GeoLogica for an entirely new learning experience. #geology #geophysics
