Description:
In this interactive e vent, Aspiring Professionals (and others) will learn firsthand about boreho le geophysical logging, its role in the development and refinement of conce ptual site models (CSMs), and the applications of geophysical logging tools . Instruction topics will include the structural and stratigraphic characte rization of sedimentary bedding and tectonic fractures, and the analysis of borehole geometry and cross flows with respect to the physical nature of w ater-bearing features and zones.
The presentation will be followed by a field demonstration where state-of-the-art geophysical logging tools are deployed in an onsite well that penetrates sedimentary rocks of the Passai c Formation, a geologic unit that underlies many sites undergoing remediati on in New Jersey. Key features of the Leaky, Multi-unit Aquifer System (LMA S) generic CSM described in NJDEP groundwater guidance will be identified i n real time at the wellsite, where attendees will have the opportunity to o bserve the log acquisition process, ask questions of the instructors, inter act with Sponsors and Special Guests, and share their own experience. The f ield demonstration will highlight Princeton Geoscience’s unique field loggi ng van (and learning environment) as it would be used during execution of a commercial geophysical logging project. The geophysical logging field demo nstrations will be concurrent with a well-side dinner offered by Princeton Geoscience’s field logging technician and professional caterer, Matthew Ven ella.
Summit Drilling will have experienced professionals on-hand to discuss how geophysical logging (and other bedrock characterization tasks) can best be completed in tandem with drilling and well construction. Finall y, S2C2 will exhibit their advanced Direct Sensing tools including Geoprobe ’s Optical Image Profiler and Membrane interface Probe with Hydraulic Profi ling Tool. These tools provide high density geologic and/or contaminant di stribution data in the overburden which is unsurpassed by traditional sampl ing methodologies. .
About the Venue:
In 1949 a handful of farsighted community leaders joined forces to form the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, now known as The Watershed Institute . Concerned at the time about agricultural runoff, soil erosion, and stream sedimentation, the Watershed Association became central New Jersey’s first environmental group. Since that time, the focus of the organization has ev olved. Today The Watershed Institute protects clean water and the environme nt through a combination of conservation, advocacy, science, and education. Thanks to the loyal support of their members and volunteers the Watershed Institute has grown into one of the largest and most respected watershed as sociations in the country.
The well that will be used during the fiel d demonstration is part of a radial well network installed by the US Geolog ical Survey in 1966, on what was then designated as the “New Land Research Reserve” portion of the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association propert y. Geophysical logging and aquifer testing performed at the wellfield by US GS and NJGS over the years has contributed significantly to the current und erstanding of hydrogeologic characteristics of the Passaic Formation. Dr. H erman and Mr. Fiore will be available to discuss some of the findings of th ose activities and their importance in the advancement of groundwater scien ce in this important setting.
