Earthquake-Induced Ground Motion
Attended an excellent workshop in earthquake seismology for engineering applications. Offered by ASCE and presented by Dr. Praveen Malhotra, PE. All continuing education should be this caliber!

Very interesting collection of papers in The Leading Edge regarding injection-induced seismicity. Fluid injection during petroleum production can cause crustal movement with significant seismic energy.
"Preliminary hazard models indicate that areas experiencing the highest rate of earthquakes in 2014 have a short-term (one-year) hazard comparable to or higher than the hazard in the source region of tectonic earthquakes in the New Madrid and Charleston seismic zones."
We truly enjoyed participating in the International Day Chorus Day by broadcasting a live audio feed from our offices here in Danville, Indiana. Coordinated by Reveil / SoundCamp, the sounds of daybreak were broadcast for 24 hours, transmitting sounds from live audio feeds supplied by people at different points around the globe. As the sunrise travels West, the audio sources hop from one feed to the next, finally looping back to our starting point near the Greenwich Meridian.

Xenon is excited to work with iTunnel and the rest of the Stantec team on the BWSTE tunnel in Columbus, Ohio. We will be providing geophysical services to characterize the subsurface conditions along alternate tunnel alignments. Great work with a great team.
