Our next meeting will be Thursday, July 31st and the usual location – Pizzeria Uno’s in downtown Tempe with socializing at 6 pm and dinner at 6:30. Our speaker for the meeting is Mimi Diaz with the Arizona Geological Survey, who will be speaking about a general geohazards update for Arizona. This will hit such hot topics as the SR 87 landslide (which we hope to have dedicated presentation on later this fall), earth fissures, and flooding. Our sponsor for this meeting is Enviro Drill.
Upcoming planned presentations include ASU’s Dr. Ed Kavazanjian speaking about his current work in China and someone from DMJM speaking about their emergency response and remediation work for the SR 87 landslide.
