Welcome to the the 2023 Kentucky Geological Survey Annual Conference: of Hills and Hazards. This year's program will highlight the work KGS, and our partners, do to monitor, assess, and conduct research on a wide range of geological hazards impacting Kentucky. 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 David Applegate, 18th Director of the U.S. Geological Survey. His talk is titled 'Geohazards and Geological Surveys: Bringing Science to Bear When and Where It Matters Most.' KGS Director and State Geologist William C. Haneberg will also speak on 'Geohazards in the Anthropocene: A Risk Assessment, Climate, and Environmental Justice Perspective.'

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.

Registration is now closed.

You can also follow us on Facebook or Linkedin for updates and speaker announcements.
