- Texas Licensure of Geologists. W. Kevin Coleman
A session designed to present the history and development of the Geo licensure process, justification for licensure, the ASBOG examination and the general rules and expectations of licensed geologists.
Active Gulf Coast growth faults present a serious geohazard. The symposium focus is on the controversies surrounding the causes of active faulting, areas most susceptible to faulting, and standards for evaluating and detecting the faults. On the speaker agenda is a cross section oftwelve geoscientists from universities, state agencies, and the environmental/engineering/petroleum communities. A panel discussion will conclude the all-day symposium. Speaker list: Robert Traylor, TCEQ; Kerry Campbell, Fugro; Roy K Dokka, LSU; Marc Edwards, Consultant; Carl Norman, Consultant; Sherwood Gagliano, Coastal Environments Inc; Ursula Hammes, UT BEG; Jordan Heltz, LSU; Juan Lorenzo, LSU; ; Michael D. Campbell, M. D. Campbell and Associates; Mustafa Saribudak, Environmental Geophysics Associates; Bill Elsbury, Fugro; and others. Actual Program for Growth Fault Symposium (here).

AEG-TX MEETING ARCHIVES
12/18/2002
Dallas Area AEG News - A tentative field trip planned in Dallas on Jan. 18. The plan is to tour a subsurface 90 million gallon stormwater drainage system that has been designed to handle runoff from I-75 during periods of heavy storms. It apparently consists of 13 parallel tunnels 300 feet long by 40 feet wide by 25 feet tall. Marty Flanders is trying to line it up with City officials now.
Also the DFW chapter will not be meeting on the first Thurs. of Jan. since it is Jan. 2. Instead the meeting will be on the second Thurs., Jan. 9. We just aren't sure that many people will be around that close to Jan 1.
Also, the San Antonio Chapter will be meeting the First Thursday of January (1/3) instead of the Last Thursday of December due to the holidays.
