This is a half-day workshop was developed to provide water utility personnel, engineers, hydrogeologists, regulatory officials, and other interested persons in understanding about the sand and gravel and bedrock aquifers their wells are located in and how and why well performance declines over time along with options that are available to rehabilitate your well. The workshop begins with an introduction of the geology and aquifers of New England. From plate tectonics to glacial geology along the effects of weathering that have created the majority of high-yield aquifers located throughout New England. A quick trip through well types, water well terminology, groundwater flow into well screens, and a discussion of specific capacity as it applies to sand and gravel and bedrock aquifers. Specific capacity is easy to calculate and use as a measure of the performance of your well, but something that is often overlooked. Moving forward, there is a segment on declining well performance including a discussion of the chemical, physical, and microbiological factors that are the cause for drop in performance in wells. Improving the performance of your well will be discussed by examining physical and chemical methods to rehabilitate your well and improve specific capacity. Understanding the permitting considerations along with the costs of well rehabilitation services will be discussed. The final segment of the workshop will be case studies on well rehabilitation. This will tie together all of the other segments of the workshop.

Oil prices are down, and government funding for geologists is limited. In spite of a lack of hiring in some sectors, Stephen Baker is optimistic about potentially large water opportunities in California for geologists. Baker is a California Registered Geologist and California Certified Hydrogeologist who has worked in Colorado, Wyoming, California and Arizona, operated his consulting firm, HydroSolutions of California for 29 years and is now applying his skills to working with the public and water stakeholders involved in managing groundwater and other water issues. He will share his professional path as he discovered his abilities to mix technical knowledge in hydrogeology and contaminant transport into managing and negotiating solutions of pollution problems with responsible parties throughout California.

The 2017 Western South Dakota Hydrology Conference will be held April 6, 2017, at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City, and will include technical sessions, a keynote speaker (TBD), and a combined poster session and evening social with free refreshments in the evening. The theme for the 2017 conference is "Feast and Famine: Floods and Droughts." The 2017 conference will also include no-cost field seminars (or trips) on Friday, April 7, 2017, as part of this conference.
This email serves as an abstract call (speakers and posters), vendor call and field trip leader call for the 2017 conference. The 2017 conference is organized by the National Weather Service, RESPEC, South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, U.S. Geological Survey and the West Dakota Water Development District. We have had wonderful speakers and attendance at previous conferences (around 300 people), and hope that the 2017 conference will be no different.

Geologists think there is a chain reaction of quakes occurring up and down the Apennine mountains. The earthquakes that have buffeted central Italy over the last two months could continue in a devastating domino effect with one large quake leading to another along the central Apennine fault system, a leading seismologist warned.

The sound of the Pacific surf pounding the coast of California is rhythmic, hypnotic — and one of several causes of a problem as constant as the waves: erosion. Jonathan Warrick, a research geologist with the USGS, has been studying the effects of erosion on the 160 foot cliffs around Fort Funston, but getting good scientific measurements is tricky. That's where the California Coastal Records Project comes in.

Nepal's army says it has finished draining a dangerous glacial lake near Mount Everest to a safe level. The Imja glacial lake, at nearly 5,000 meters (16,400 feet) high, was in danger of flooding downstream settlements, trekking trails and bridges. The lake, which was originally 149 meters deep in places, has had its water levels lowered by 3.4 meters after months of painstaking work, officials say.

One of the deadliest forces of nature is an earthquake. Daily much of the Earth is being shaken by small earthquakes that most people cannot feel. However, there are some that occur that are strong enough to be felt, even at times being deadly enough to cause death and destruction. One of the vulnerable places has been found to be the Himalayas. A new study reveals the entire Himalayan Arc is vulnerable to earthquakes.

Death Valley, California, boasts that it is home to the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth. In 1913, the temperature there reportedly spiked to a blistering 134 degrees, a world record that has been endorsed by the World Meteorological Organization. But an exhaustive analysis has determined the record is not legitimate.

Record-setting October rainfall is just the start of what's expected to be a wet winter. With the wet weather comes the threat of landslides. The most devastating of those slides came in 2014 when 43 people were killed in a landslide in Oso, Washington. The tragedy sparked King County Department of Natural Resources geologists to do something they haven't done in 25 years, re-map the landslide threat throughout their county.

A delta formed by the Kamokuna lava ocean entry is showing signs of increasing instability, according to Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Geologists say they observed prominent cracks on the surface of the newly formed land, suggesting that a large chunk could collapse into the ocean.

The future of oil and gas drilling won't look anything like the present. Industry scientists imagine lasers, not rotating drill bits, cutting well holes. They envision computers so small they can be injected underground like grains of sand to log well pressure and chemical makeup in real time. They contemplate, one day, the end of oil drilling and the start of oil mining, with robots sent down shafts, two miles deep, to recover oil and gas.

Paleontologists finally have the key to filling in the gaps in sea cow evolution: the fossil of an ancient manatee in a slab of pavement on a Spanish street. The fossil was found in the stone slabs that had been laid down over two decades ago in the town of Girona in northern Spain.
