Drilling, Sampling, Borehole Logging and Sedimentary Correlations
MidwestGeo
(90-minute educational Webinar by Midwest GeoSciences Group)
By Tim Kemmis, Ph.D., PG. and Dan Kelleher, PG., CIPM. Co-Authors of
The Field Guide for Soil and Stratigraphic Analysis.
10 December 2009, 12Noon-1:30pm MST)
This online webinar is designed to teach professionals how to make
adequate soil descriptions on boring logs and correlate geologic units
that have meaningful purpose to hydrogeologic, environmental or
engineering projects.
FREE ‘Field Guide for Soil and Stratigraphic Analysis” with each site
registration.
Benefits and Objectives:
-- Discover how subsurface resolution is dependent on more than the
right sampling method.
-- Learn the consequences of poor boring logs and the benefits of good
ones
-- Define geologic units
-- Understand why depositional environments and weathering zones are
important
-- Begin making accurate descriptions that build a geologic framework
-- Demystify common mistakes and confusing terms
-- Correlate geologic units that provide context for soil
classifications
-- Help field staff think on their feet and help managers weave QA/QC
into the fabric of projects – a financial advantage.
TAKE THE MYSTERY OUT OF THE SUBSURFACE

We as professionals commonly face difficulty in determining the
distribution, continuity, and geometries of geologic units during
hydrogeologic investigations. For example, suitable groundwater
monitoring zones within the sedimentary sequence are those sorted
sediments that occur as laterally extensive sand-and-gravels opposed
to those sediments that occur as isolated lenses. Webinar attendees
will take steps to understand the lateral or isolated nature of
sediments when building the geologic framework (site conceptual model)
and to determining the engineering properties of geologic units.

characterizing sedimentary sequences:

Testimonial from recent webinar:
“SLUG TESTING: Practical Guidelines for Improving Efficiency and
Accuracy”
"By using real-world slug test data during the webinar, I was able to
see right away how Jim Butler’s guidelines improve the efficiency and
confidence in hydraulic conductivity test results. The presentation’s
clear graphics and on-site examples made this a practical learning
experience, and I will certainly be able to implement these ideas both
in the field and in analysis”.
