An Introduction to Landslides or Mass Wasting
This stand-alone short course highlights factors contributing to the occurrences of land slides, particularly in poorly consolidated sediments such as sand and clay, and deals with prediction, control and prevention techniques. Types and classification of landslides are covered along with the equations applicable to various field conditions. Case histories are presented.
AIPG accredited - 3.5 CEU's max
Engineering Geology of
North Central Texas Shales
This course covers both the problems and solutions related to highly problematic, heavily over-consolidated Cretaceous shales with low slope stability, low shear strength and low bearing capacity, as well as high potential volume change and high shrink-swell properties. In particular, the Eagle Ford Shale, the Pepper Shale and the Del Rio Clay are emphasized, along with the Austin Chalk.
AIPG accredited- 0.5 CEU
Understanding Natural Geologic Hazards --
What Everyone Should Know
This is also a comprehensive survey course (AIPG sponsored) in the form of approximately 500 Powerpoint slides covering our knowledge of geologic hazards and of the techniques we can use to mitigate, control, predict, and even prevent these events. This course has been taught as a semester-long course at the college level and as an AIPG-sponsored seminar in Alaska, being accredited by the State for continuing education requirements for realtors.
The Igneous Environment
This new course addresses the genesis, composition and tectonic processes related to volcanic activity and the emplacement of plutonic bodies. The illustrations reflect extensive travels by the author and igneous rocks and activity in various parts of the globe. Volcanic hazards, mitigation efforts and eruption forecasting techniques are also discussed.
