We are excited to have the 2018-2019 Jahns Distinguished Lecturer- Deborah Green presenting “Let’s Talk – A Conversation on How We Communicate about Science”. Please RSVP below, payment will not be accepted at the door! There will be food and drinks offered throughout the event. This social will be held outside of GSA conference hours, thus a GSA pass is not required for entry.
Date and Time: Monday, September 23rd, 2019 from 5:00 to 8:30pm
Fall Meeting, October 15th 2019
Join us at Fate Brewing Company in Scottsdale for our Fall Meeting on Tuesday, October 15th. We welcome Kimberly Martin, a Dean’s Fellow pursuing her doctorate in geotechnical engineering at Arizona State University, to present her topic: “Benefits of Risk-Based Communication in Geological & Geotechnical Engineering”. Her abstract and biography are below. Free food and drinks (2) will be served from 5:30-6:30 and will be a good time to mingle with other students and professionals. The talk will begin at 6:30 and usually lasts one hour. Please RSVP below, cash or credit card payment is accepted at the door.
Abstract: Benefits of Risk-Based Communication in Geological & Geotechnical Engineering
This presentation demonstrates the benefits of taking a risk-based communication approach with project management and clients. An example will be presented where ineffective communication regarding cost and schedule risk associated with a geological/geotechnical decision led to an undesired outcome. Based on lessons from that case, two examples will be given where these risks were communicated correctly and innovative solutions were accepted. Examples will be provided from an oil sands project in Canada and a liquefied natural gas project in Papua New Guinea. The goal of this presentation is to raise awareness of how risk-based communication, especially early in a project, can lead to risk tolerance regarding geological/geotechnical engineering options and decisions.
