Registration Open for the 16th Annual Technical Forum on Geohazards Impacting Transportation in Appalachia

Geohazards Impacting Transportation in Appalachia

The 2016 Annual Technical Forum will be held in Knoxville, TN on August 2 to 4. This year’s Forum will include a pre-conference field trip on Tuesday August 2, 2016.

The Appalachian states are tied by common geographical and geological challenges. Multi-modal transportation in the Appalachian Region is essential for economic development. The coalition includes members from Departments of Transportation and State Geological Surveys from Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, U.S. Geological Survey, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, CSXT and Norfolk Southern Corporation.

This grassroots organization’s objectives include sharing of resources and information, exchange of methodologies and experiences, and collaboration on geologic projects and research activities.

It is an exciting prospect to work with federal, state and private entities faced with prevention, correction or remediation of similar geologic problems in the Appalachian region.
