AEG Oregon Chapter - April Meeting

Abstract:

There is no reason for engineering geology to exist as a profession if we do not provide society with useful and reliable information about the Earth. This talk will focus on a few case studies that illustrate the "primacy principle" that in our professional work, the health, safety, and wellbeing of the public are paramount. The ethical practice of engineering geology requires a firm commitment to the truth and to the responsible conduct of geoscience in the public interest.
