Podcasts about Hydrogeology

Join us for an inspiring conversation with award-winning author and environmental advocate Virginia De Francisco!

Dr. Kanjana Thepboriruk sits down with Dr. Melissa Lenczewski to discuss groundwater quality and testing in Southeast Asia and the United States. Together they bring to light how Arsenic and Microplastics have a strong presence in the water quality of countries that have poor infrastructure for testing and regulation, and the issue of water quality could lead to permanent structural damage if not properly monitored. Dr. Melissa Lenczewski is a professor of Hydrogeology in the Department of Earth, Atmosphere, and Environment at Northern Illinois University, a specialist in groundwater testing, and a Fullbright Research scholar of Cambodia and Thailand.

Flooding, one of the most dangerous natural disasters, is becoming increasingly prevalent due to climate change. Millions of people around the world are impacted by floods and the effects stretch far beyond the physical destruction. This episode features interviews with experts Andreas Deckelmann, Senior Consultant for Hydrogeology and Environment at HPC; Jon Rix, Principal Flood Risk Consultant at Tonkin + Taylor; and Agenor Freitas, Field Technician at Antea Brasil. They share their harrowing experiences during devastating floods in Germany, New Zealand, and Brazil. They also discuss the innovative solutions and strategies they are developing to help communities mitigate the effects of disasters like floods. Despite adversity, their stories of courage and community support offer not only hope and inspiration, but also invaluable insights for a more climate-resilient future.---------Guest Quotes“I think the huge growth there is how can we be ready for the next events? What were the lessons from what we've experienced, and how can we more efficiently respond to the future events, which we know are coming? Because they're going to be getting more frequent.” - Jon Rix“The knowledge of the local people and conducting interviews, for example, in a case of a flooding event, sometimes oral information is really important. Information by a local inhabitant of a municipality about perhaps the former drainage channel can be as valuable or even more valuable as any kind of planning information.” - Andreas Deckelmann“Well, I think no matter how insensitive people can be, if they don't feel something after what happened in the region, well, I'm sorry, but they have no heart. Because it had such a big impact on me. To this day, I still have nightmares about it.” - Agenor Freitas---------Time Stamps*(00:00) Episode Start*(01:45) Andreas Deckelmann on flooding in Germany*(06:35) Disaster preparedness in Germany*(09:20) HPC's role in climate resilience*(12:46) Jon Rix on flooding in New Zealand*(21:19) Emotional impact of natural disasters*(22:52) Tonkin + Taylor's climate resilience efforts*(26:35) Agenor Freitas on flooding in Brazil*(29:38) Reflections on impacted communities*(30:37) Phil's takeaways---------Sponsor copyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

What does it take to survive on the driest inhabited continent on Earth? Indigenous people have tens of thousands of years of knowledge about this, but their place in the conversations about water planning and management are often tokenistic at best, or worse, completely absent. Bradley Moggridge wants to change that. He's a Kamilaroi man and hydrogeologist, and he knows Indigenous knowledge needs to be central to Australia's water future.

Nation, welcome to 2022's very first Pinks and Blues episode. For all of our new listeners, at least once a month, the Scaling UP! H2O podcast answers YOUR questions, and we call these episodes “Pinks and Blues”.  In today's Pinks and Blues, I start answering a very interesting question from one of our listeners: “What are the dos and don't of cleaning a Cooling Tower?”. Before I can answer that question, it is important to know what a Cooling Tower truly is, and why it is important that we clean it.  This is the first episode of the two-part series about Cooling Towers, so buckle your seatbelts because it's going to be a great episode.   Bottom line: WHY we should clean our Cooling Towers proactively. Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.  -Trace    Timestamps:  Completing your goals this year [00:01] If you don't have a standing desk, you don't know what you are missing [02:47] Upcoming Events [04:46] What do we need to know about cleaning a Cooling Tower?

[24:17] The “Quadrinity” of water treatment: the four areas water treaters deal with to have a complete water treatment program [26:30] Why a filter is important [29:00] Thinking On Water With James [35:47]   Thinking On Water With James: Interferences in your water analysis tests In this week's episode, we're thinking about testing interferences. What are the interferences in your water analysis tests you run each and every day? How do you know your test results are not artificially high or low due to an interference? Do you know how to recognize an interference? Is iron an interference? High alkalinity? pH? Chlorine or other oxidizers? Is molybdenum an interference for iron testing in a closed-loop? Read your test procedures, ask your technical support department, and search online. Take this week to think about and research test interferences and which ones may impact you the most.   Quotes: “Scheduling (how often a Cooling Tower needs to get cleaned) deals with a bunch of unknowns.” - Trace Blackmore “We normally find that towers are cleaned as a reactive approach that something's not working right instead of a proactive approach.” - Trace Blackmore “Remember: a Cooling Tower is all about exchanging heat.”  - Trace Blackmore “Less surface area for the water to come in contact with the air means that the Cooling Tower is less efficient as a heat exchanger.” - Trace Blackmore “More energy means more cost to run the Cooling Tower.” - Trace Blackmore “A Cooling Tower is a heat transfer device because it allows air to interface with water, and that interface is the heat exchange.” - Trace Blackmore “If there is dirt and debris in that tower somewhere, it's not allowing us to be efficient.” - Trace Blackmore “A non-efficient heat transfer device is not doing a very good job at transferring heat.” - Trace Blackmore “Mark Lewis said: the dirt that settles out at the bottom of the tower basin should never exceed one quarter inch.” - Trace Blackmore “There's only so much we, as water treaters, can do without our customers committing to all the things they have to do.” - Trace Blackmore “A successful Legionella program is not that you have no Legionella in the system ever, it's that you know how much Legionella is in the system.” - Trace Blackmore “A lot of times, we overclean to overcompensate for not having filtration in the system.” - Trace Blackmore “The 'quadrinity' is the balance of chemical and mechanical working together so we can get the optimal job done.” - Trace Blackmore   Connect with Scaling UP H2O:  Email: corrine@blackmore-enterprises.com (podcast producer) Submit a show idea: Submit a Show Idea Scaling UP!

I asked Michael Loewenstein on the podcast today to talk about his trailblazing presentation at AWT on Legionella Testing, and thankfully, he generously agreed to come on the podcast as my lab partner today. After listening to our cutting-edge conversation, I have a feeling you are going to want to learn more about the Cultural Method vs. the Rapid Method and submit Legionella samples to Michael for the next phase of his study so we've linked his contact information below. You know as well as I that when water treaters come together to share what we know, we can raise the bar for our entire industry, so I encourage everyone to further advance our industry by submitting samples as soon as they can. Buckle your seatbelts because this is going to be one groundbreaking conversation! For those of you who missed his presentation at AWT, Michael Loewenstein is the Vice President of Scientific Consulting at Q Labs LLC in Cincinnati, OH. He earned his B.S. in Microbiology, with a research focus in Molecular Genetics and Cellular Physiology from The Ohio State University. After graduation, Michael obtained a position in Corporate R&D Microbiology at Procter & Gamble where he focused on the development and validation of rapid/alternative microbial test methods and developed and launched preservative systems across a broad range of P&G products.   Throughout the course of his career, Michael has developed a substantial depth of expertise in “end-to-end” Microbiology - from product development and formulation through microbiological control of manufacturing, and he has published several articles on this subject. Michael worked as Site Microbiology Manager for a P&G drug manufacturing facility just prior to accepting the position with Q Labs in December 2018.   Michael currently serves in a volunteer capacity for several professional associations, including the AOAC Microbial Contaminants Expert Review Panel, and both the Microbiology Committee and Manufacturing Hygiene Task Force of the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC). Michael is also looking forward to becoming more involved with the Cooling Water subcommittee of AWT.    Bottom line: Michael Loewenstein is on the show to share the revolutionary results of his most recent scientific study on Legionella testing.

In this week's episode, we're thinking about being stuck in a rut. Are you stuck in a rut in your industrial water treatment career? Are you running the same old pinks and blues in the same accounts day after day? If so and you feel stuck in a rut, what are you missing by just going through the motions at each account? What other water parameters should you be testing? What other value-added projects are just waiting to be done that you currently cannot see while stuck in a rut? What equipment needs to be repaired or replaced? What new things can you learn? How can you take a fresh look at your accounts, testing habits, control equipment, daily routine, and knowledge base to mix things up a little and make you an even more valuable partner for your customers? If you feel stuck in a rut, take this next week to think about it and possibly reach out to someone else within your company and network to help get you out.   Quotes: “In reality, the “Gold Standard” of Legionella testing methods are not the same.” - Michael Loewenstein “Today, the Rapid Methods can distinguish live from dead cells, they are quantitative, and can characterize the Legionella to some degree.” - Michael Loewenstein “Modern technologies have found ways to discount the genetic materials from dead cells, so they now only count the genetic materials from live Legionella in the water sample.” - Michael Loewenstein “PCR is much more sensitive than the Cultural Method, so it puts the water treater in a proactive position rather than reactive.” - Michael Loewenstein “At low levels, the Cultural Method is highly variable and not particularly sensitive.” - Michael Loewenstein “Quantitative - how much Legionella is there? vs. Qualitative - is Legionella there or not?” - Michael Loewenstein “The limits for the Cultural Method are set semi-arbitrarily. There is nothing magic about less than 1 CFU/mL (1,000 CFU/L), except that it's what somebody picked.” - Michael Loewenstein “What would be great is more frequent testing and then set statistically-based action limits. Figure out for your system what is normal.” - Michael Loewenstein “PCR far out-performed the Cultural Method for Legionella testing.” - Michael Loewenstein   Michael Loewenstein's Presentation of Phase 1 of his method study presented at AWT: Technical Paper Presentation   Interested in submitting Legionella samples?  Please connect with Michael Loewenstein to help advance future studies Phone: (513) 207-4943 Email: MLoewenstein@qlaboratories.com Website: qlaboratories.com LinkedIn: in/michael-loewenstein-09693944   Links Mentioned: The Rising Tide Mastermind Submit a Show Idea Q Labs LLC Procter & Gamble AOAC INTERNATIONAL Personal Care Products Council (PCPC)  AWT (Association of Water Technologies) Centers For Disease Control And Prevention: Toolkit ISO 11731:2017 ASHRAE   Events:  National GroundWater Association's Hydrogeology of States Webinar Series: Vermont – February 9  AWT Technical Training Seminar - Feb 23-26 in Seattle, Washington AWT Technical Training Seminar  - March 30-April 2 in Cleveland, Ohio

The Bible gives us a record of God's judging the evil and violence of man with a flood. Skeptics say modern geology proves the flood didn't happen. Christians affirm the reality of the flood but often become entangled in debate over whether or not the flood covered the entire world or just a local area in and around the ancient Near East.  Many Christians are also divided on the issue of how old the earth is. We explore this issue by looking at science and young-earth creationism. This episode begins an investigation of the biblical flood from a scientific perspective.  On this episode we feature the research of geologist Dr. Timothy Clarey of the Institute for Creation Research. You can find out more about Tim's work on his ICR website at https://www.icr.org/tim_clarey/.   Dr. Tim Clarey received a Master of Science in Geology in 1984 from the University of Wyoming and a Master of Science in Hydrogeology in 1993 from Western Michigan University. His Ph.D. in Geology was received in 1996 from Western Michigan University. From 1984 to 1992, Dr. Clarey worked as an exploration geologist at Chevron USA, Inc. He was Full Professor and Geosciences Chair at Delta College in Michigan for 17 years before leaving in 2013 to join the science staff at the Institute for Creation Research.    Podbean enables our podcast to be on Apple Podcasts and other major podcast platforms.  To support Good Heavens! on Podbean as a patron, you can use the Podbean app, or go to https://patron.podbean.com/goodheavens.  This goes to Wayne Spencer.

National Oceanic Atmospheric and Atmospheric Administration - NOAA - This is the government entity KT mentioned that she wish she'd applied to when younger. You can search for NOAA job openings at USAjobs. Research on Women in Science & Gender Bias Women in the Geosciences: Practical, Positive Practices Towards Parity by Maryanne Holmes Women and Pre-Tenure Scholarly Productivity in International Studies: An Investigation into the Leaky Career Pipeline by Kathleen J. Hancock, Matthew A. Baum, and Marijke Breuning Science faculty's subtle gender biases favor male students by  C.A. Moss-Racusina, J.F. Dovidiob, V.L. Brescollc, M.J. Grahama, and J. Handelsman Gender and Letters of Recommendation for Academia: Agentic and Communal Differences by J.M. Madera, M.R. Hebl, and R.C. Martin Beyond Gender Schemas: Improving the Advancement of Women in Academia by V. Valian Personal finance books recommended for college students/recent grads Automatic Wealth for Grads by Michael Masterson - There are lots of gimmicky books out there about finance. If you're looking for a no non-sense guide, I think this book is a great place to start (especially if you are new to having serious conversations about personal finance, and wealth building).   STEMxm is available on iTunes & Stitcher:

Matt Reeves teaches in the Geological Sciences Department at UAA . This presentation coincides with the audio podcast of his talk at the event "New UAA Faculty discuss their exciting work in Hydrology, Resource Economics, and Climate Change" which begins 03:56-24:50 min with Q &A until 35:55 min. Matt Reeves received ah.D. in Hydrogeology from the University of Nevada, and worked as a Research Professor at Desert Research Institute.

Jim Currens and Mike Farwell go to work at the Kentucky Horse Park on a regular basis, but they're not horse trainers. They're hydrogeologists that work with the Kentucky Geological Survey to monitor groundwater in the Cane Run Watershed, which includes surface streams and underground water systems that run from north Lexington to the North Elkhorn Creek in Georgetown, Kentucky. They collect data at the Kentucky Horse Park - or, perhaps more accurately, from below the Kentucky Horse Park. During Spring of 2012, we joined Farwell and Currens to see their research station at the Kentucky Horse Park, and got a sense of what a typical visit to the KGS hydrogeology research station is like. Also, check out the photo essay of the trip. This podcast was produced by Cheyenne Hohman.

Alberta Geological Survey and Alberta Environment partnered to map the nonsaline groundwater resources of Alberta, starting in the Edmonton-Calgary corridor. This podcast is on the progress of the project.

By measuring the spring's changes in flow volume over time and the chemical constituents in the water, we can tell a great deal about groundwater flow and the rocks or soil hosting the water. Knowing the locations of the springs throughout the province provides the first step in understanding groundwater - all without drilling a well.
