SAGEEP special session reminder and location update: March 25-29, 2018, Renaissance Nashville  Downtown
Additional information regarding technical submissions will be coming soon.

Dear colleagues,

SAGEEP 2018 (March 25 - 29) technical Co-Chairs Andrew Parsekian and Oliver Kuras are currently soliciting recommendations for topics for Special Sessions and persons willing to help develop and chair those sessions (July 31 deadline). If you would like to help coordinate a session, please contact the technical co-chairs at aparseki at uwyo.edu<mailto:aparseki at uwyo.edu> and oku at bgs.ac.uk<mailto:oku at bgs.ac.uk>.


The Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP) 2018 annual meeting of the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society will be held in Nashville Tennessee March 25-29 (Renaissance Nashville Downtown), a region of North America with numerous attributes of interest to near surface geophysicists. Karst features, including Mammoth Cave, are abundant within a short distance of Nashville; a few hundred miles west lies the New Madrid fault zone, site of two of the largest earthquakes in the continental US (1811-1812), and east Tennessee has issues related to coal mining as well as chemical and nuclear wastes. The Tennessee river flows east to west across most of the state with numerous dams and levees. These features, along with topics of national and international interest (infrastructure, renewable and unconventional energy, water, geohazards, unexploded ordnance, etc.) will form the core of a timely and relevant technical program.

Questions or recommendations related to the conference can be sent to General Chair William Doll, William.doll at tetratech.com<mailto:William.doll at tetratech.com>.
