HGS Events Update -- November, 2004

HGS Events UpdateNovember, 2004

The pre-registration deadlines are fast approaching for some excellent HGS technical programs:

• Thursday: Dr. Roy Dokka from LSU is shows results from analysis of 100+ years of Gulf Coast geodetic survey data. His data shows that coastal subsidence is regional, deep-seated and long-term, directly contrary to the popular idea that all subsidence is related to petroleum or groundwater withdrawal.  This should be a fascinating, dynamic talk, and one that has enormous social, economic and regulatory implications. Nov. 11, Petroleum Club.  Preregistration for this joint HGS/HEC luncheon is closed, but walk-ins are welcome.

Note: The Petroleum Club luncheon will end promptly at 1 pm to accommodate people planning to attend Michel Halbouty''s funeral at St. Martin''s Episcopal Church, Sage & Woodway, 2 pm.
