Mark,

I thought some of Washington members may be interested in the Soil
Stratigraphy for Trench Logging short course that the GB section is
putting on in cooperation with the Basin and Range Province Seismic
Hazards Summit II.  Please advertise to your membership if you feel it
is appropriate.  Please contact myself if you have any questions.

Attached is the announcement.

Thank You,

The upward mobility of professionals in the geotechnical field requires advanced degrees, but not all are willing or able to take an extended leave of absence to attend a university.  Web based education will allow students to continue their work, while taking virtual classes at their convenience.  This degree will apply to professionals in government, consulting, mining, oil, and educators, from both the USA and other countries.
