Workshop attendees will learn the history, chemistry, sampling techniques and current treatment options of PFAS, as well as developing regulatory proposals throughout the country. More than 4,700 PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) exist in the world today. Many PFAS transform into highly persistent perfluorinated chemicals in the environment. Short-chain PFAS tend to be more water soluble and move more easily through soil to contaminate ground-water, surface water or drinking water.

Featuring the John T. Loucks Distinguished Lecture, David R. Montgomery, "Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life." Montgomery is an author and geomorphologist from the University of Washington who looks at the process shaping Earth's surface and how they affect ecological systems — and human societies. David was awarded a MacArthur Foundation fellowship in 2008, and has authored a series of books on soil health and conservation.

Energy Exposition
Attendees represent a wide range of services, including but not limited to, exploration, production, downstream and all phases of support to the industry. We have been privileged to have political attendees from the local community, city, county and state governments as well political luminaries such as former Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney. In 2014 we were fortunate to have Vice President Dick Cheney as our Keynote Speaker. His daughter Liz (now U.S. Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming) also honored us by speaking at a couple of our events.
The Energy Exposition has educated tens of thousands of people in Gillette, Wyoming; Billings, Montana; and just recently Loveland, Colorado, over the last 19 years on procedures, technology, safety, environmental practices and equipment used in the oil and gas industry. Our doors have always been open to industry and non-industry attendees. Most of our exhibitors are from the oil and gas industry. We also welcome our participants from the wind, solar and other energy companies that support the oil and gas industry.

In order to understand the global carbon cycle, deep-sea exploration is essential, an international team led by geologists from Innsbruck concludes. For the first time, they succeeded in quantifying the amount of organic carbon transported into the deep sea by a single tectonic event, the giant Tohoku-oki earthquake in 2011. The results have now been published in Scientific Reports.

We identify late Paleozoic ice age (LPIA) subglacial megalineations from field and geospatial imagery of the Twyfelfontein area of northern Namibia, and present the results of a geomorphometric analysis of those data. Asymmetric 0.1–1.5 km-long megawhalebacks indicate a paleo-ice flow to the northwest. We infer that an ice stream draining the LPIA Kaokoveld ice sheet existed within the proto-Huab River valley and that was comparable to ice streams in modern Antarctica. Recognition of a paleo-ice stream in northern Namibia supports interpretations of glaciogenic sedimentary successions (Itararé Group) in southern Brazil that suggest the presence of major, terrestrial glacial outlet systems in southern Africa during the LPIA.

Hurricane Maria hit the island of Puerto Rico on Sept. 20, 2017, and triggered more than 40,000 landslides in at least three-fourths of Puerto Rico's 78 municipalities. Researchers write that "the number of landslides that occurred during this event was two orders of magnitude greater than those reported from previous hurricanes."

Waste-rock material used in underground backfill mining has a granular texture and acquires non-linear deformation characteristics when compressed. The deformation modulus of waste-rock measured by a laboratory compression test is significantly different from the true deformation modulus in the field, due to the complete confining effect of the loading steel cylinder. In this study, we performed a series of laboratory-based compression tests on waste-rock samples.

Left to their own devices and given enough time, rivers wander, eroding their banks and leaving their old channels behind. It's a behavior that engineers have to keep in mind when managing rivers or planning projects near them. But new research from The University of Texas at Austin has revealed that old methods for estimating migration rates may be overthinking it.

Temperature-based snowmelt models are simple to implement and tend to give good results in gauged basins. The situation is, however, different in ungauged basins, as the lack of discharge data precludes the calibration of the snowmelt parameters. The main objective of this study was therefore to assess alternative approaches. This study compares the performance of two temperature-based snowmelt models (with and without an additional radiation term) and two energy-balance models with different data requirements in 312 catchments in the U.S.

Modern magnetic microscopy (MM) provides high-resolution, ultra-high-sensitivity moment magnetometry, with the ability to measure at spatial resolutions better than 10−4 m and to detect magnetic moments weaker than 10−15 Am2. These characteristics make modern MM devices capable of particularly high-resolution analysis of the magnetic properties of materials, but generate extremely large data sets. Many studies utilizing MM attempt to solve an inverse problem to determine the magnitude of the magnetic moments that produce the measured component of the magnetic field.

Neptunium and uranium are important radionuclides in many aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle and are often present in radioactive wastes which require long term management. Understanding the environmental behavior and mobility of these actinides is essential in underpinning remediation strategies and safety assessments for wastes containing these radionuclides. By combining state-of-the-art X-ray techniques (synchrotron-based Grazing Incidence XAS, and XPS) with wet chemistry techniques (ICP-MS, liquid scintillation counting and UV-Vis spectroscopy), we determined that contrary to uranium(VI), neptunium(V) interaction with magnetite is not significantly affected by the presence of bicarbonate.
