Within 72 hours and after auditing participation, PCPG will circulate a PDH certificate documenting registrant’s participation time, not to exceed 60 minutes.
Level: Basic/General with more intermediate material in case histories.
Webinar Overview: Geophysics helps save time and money (as well as maximize safety and minimize liability) by detecting what’s beneath the surface, often before work ever begins. Geophysicists use safe, cost-effective methods and emerging technologies to identify subsurface features (rock depths, sinkholes, weak zones) and infrastructure (utilities, unknown targets) to help clients use their resources most wisely. This presentation will introduce the applied science of geophysics as it relates to environmental, engineering, and geotechnical markets and cover case studies to illustrate these concepts.
Who should attend: This webinar is for any level of geologist but may be of particular interest to those new in the field who want to gain a better understanding of geophysical techniques and applications through real-life project examples. This webinar is suited for those who want to know the value of using geophysics for a wide variety of projects (environmental professional, engineers, archaeologists, to name a few).
