This year’s seminar theme is Of Hills and Hazards. Kentucky Geological Survey works to monitor, assess, and conduct research on a wide range of geological hazards. Geohazards potentially threaten lives, livelihoods, and communities and may cause millions of dollars in damage. Our speakers will address various Kentucky geological hazards in topics such as post-flood landslide reconnaissance, Google Earth for geohazards, seismic hazards research, geologic controls on radon, and methane monitoring. In addition to oral presentations, we will also have a poster reception featuring KGS research and time for discussion and networking.

We are honored to welcome keynote speaker Dr. David Applegate, 18th Director of the U.S. Geological Survey, to our seminar. His talk is entitled 'Geohazards and Geological Surveys: Bringing Science to Bear When and Where It Matters Most.' KGS Director and State Geologist Dr. William Haneberg will also present on ‘Geohazards in the Anthropocene: Focus on Kentucky,’ which will be one of his last talks as KGS Director and Kentucky State Geologist.

The KGS annual seminar will be held in-person only in the Jacobs Science Building on the University of Kentucky campus. The seminar is free to attend, but registration is required. Please register here: https://bit.ly/3naFkK. KGS will provide refreshments and a boxed lunch for attendees.

The agenda will be posted soon. You can also follow us on Facebook or LinkedIn for updates and speaker announcements.
