Are you interested in learning about innovations in borehole imagery and acoustics as well as GPR and seismic surface wave surveys? Did you know that Ground Penetrating Radar is a cost-effective method for locating buried non-metallic objects? (Such as victims of crimes) Would you like to attend courses, workshops or seminars to learn how geophysical/geological data is utilized within the GIS based decision process? If these topics, and the many others outlined below, are of importance to you then plan to be at The Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society's SAGEEP 2000 February 20-24, 2000 Crystal City Hyatt, Arlington, VA Visit our website at: <http://www.sageep.com> We invite you to take part in SAGEEP 2000 - the world's premier conference and tradeshow on non-invasive geophysical techniques and their application to engineering and environmental problems. Geophysical methods are used extensively within virtually all Federal Government Agencies, almost all engineering and environmental firms, and universities. Nearly every project concerned with the environment, engineering infrastructure, and hydrology, from unexploded ordnance to the safety of our drinking water, involves the latest geophysical techniques. Highlights of SAGEEP 2000 Invited Keynote Speaker: The Honorable Dan Goldin, NASA Administrator. Goldin's talk entitled "Exploration of the Subsurface of Mars" is scheduled for Monday, February 21, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM. In naming him one of the most influential men in government, the National Journal observed that "most space watchers say that Goldin is a brilliant visionary who brought NASA back from the brink of a black hole." Technical Sessions - See what's new and learn how to keep a competitive edge by attending some of the over 150 oral and poster sessions dealing with the latest geophysical techniques and technologies. Topics include: * Airborne geophysical surveys * Archeology * Borehole techniques * Forensic geophysics * Geomechanics * Geophysics as an element in disaster response (Honduras, Colombia, etc.) * Landfill characterization * Mining * Processing, interpretation, and modeling * Radioactive waste disposal. * Seismic surface waves and ultra-shallow seismics * Shallow-water, transition zone sea-floor characterization * Toxic waste management and mitigation * UXO and land mine detection EEGS Short Courses include - Geophysics in Law Enforcement, Applications of Geophysics in Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering, Signals and Inversion in Geotechnical Site Characterization, and, Nondestructive Methods for Civil Infrastructure. Ice Breaker Reception - Sunday, February 20, 5:00 - 7:00 PM. Held in the exhibition area, the ice breaker is always well attended. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar provide an informal and excellent opportunity to meet people and share ideas. Sailing on the Chesapeake! Sunday, February 20. Seaworthy members or guests interested in sharing the cost of a bareboat charter should contact Terrie Rowley at trowley@erols.com. A sailing lesson can be provided. Student Reception (no charge for students) - Monday, February 21, 6:00 - 9:00 PM. Starting with tips for students on selecting an advisor, finding a job, writing resumes, and interviewing techniques, this meeting will be followed by a buffet supper, free to students. For information on Free SAGEEP Student Registration contact Lynn Cramer at lcramer@compuserve.com. EEGS Business Meeting and Luncheon - Tuesday, February 22, Noon to 1:30 PM. Join the EEGS Officers and Board for a casual lunch and an update on EEGS activities and directions, followed by a dynamic presentation by the Department of Defense. SAGEEP Exhibitor Mixer - Tuesday, February 22, 6:00 - 8:30 PM. Everyone is invited to join the SAGEEP Exhibitors at the Historic National Press Club for a relaxed evening with hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Mount Vernon Archeological Field Trip - Thursday, February 24, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Held at George Washington's home, Mount Vernon, this trip will feature a 20 foot section of the distillery area which has recently been uncovered. GPR equipment will be demonstrated at this archeological geophysical opportunity. Session Breaks - A sponsored beverage station will be set up each day in the exhibit area. At intervals during the technical sessions, attendees gather for coffee, tea, snacks and another opportunity to network. Spouse Program - For information on spouse trips, or just to find time to get together during the conference, e-mail hazman@erols.com Plan to attend. This conference provides an exciting and informative meeting place for worldwide explorationists. See cutting-edge technologies, meet leading manufacturers and service providers and get the inside track on the latest technologies. Come exhibit. Exhibitors return year after year because SAGEEP attracts geophysicists, geologists, engineers, environmental and forensic scientists, military and government environmental specialists, consultants and other geophysics users from around the world.
