Kentucky Geological Survey to host 63rd annual seminar

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 9, 2024) — The Kentucky Geological Survey (KGS) at the University of Kentucky will host its 63rd annual seminar on May 15 at the Jacobs Science Building, Room 121, on the UK campus. For this largest annual gathering of geologists in Kentucky, the theme is “KGS for the Commonwealth.” The seminar will explore the breadth of KGS research impact and include behind-the-scenes presentations of KGS collaborations and research resources.  

“This year’s annual seminar aims to really shine a light on all the great research and collaborations going on at the Kentucky Geological Survey,” said KGS Acting Director William “Drew” Andrews, Ph.D. “I’m hopeful that this year’s seminar will increase awareness and engagement of students, community members, scholars and researchers interested in the Kentucky Geological Survey and its impact on Kentucky.”

Gina Lukoczki, Ph.D., assistant professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist, will discuss ongoing KGS critical minerals research. Jason Dortch, Ph.D., assistant professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist, and Meredith Swallom, KGS surficial geologist, both in the KGS mapping section, will discuss their flood and lidar modelling work. Matt Crawford, Ph.D., adjunct professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist, will present on the KGS landslide program and outreach. Steve Greb, Ph.D., adjunct professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist and energy and minerals acting section head, will discuss KGS carbon management projects. Marty Parris, Ph.D., adjunct professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist, will offer insights on the collaboration with Kentucky Division of Oil and Gas in measuring methane from orphaned wells. Liz Adams, KGS archives manager, will provide an overview of the Paul Edwin Potter summer internship program and recognize the incoming 2024 interns.

These KGS experts will be joined by Brad Lee, Ph.D., professor in the UK Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment , who will offer insights on the UK-CAFE/KGS Edge-of-Field projects and Stacy Stanifer, Ph.D., assistant professor in the UK College of Nursing , who will discuss cooperation in radon research. Ethan Davis, 2024 UK Earth and Environmental Sciences MS graduate, will present his thesis on Kentucky meteorites.  

KGS staff will present posters throughout the day with a range of topics from digitizing physical geologic specimens to variations in trace element distributions.  

Unique to this year’s seminar, there will be an opportunity for seminar participants to provide feedback on KGS research and data products. KGS will also host a jobs table where employers can advertise their job openings. Students and job seekers are invited to bring resumes.

The seminar is free and open to the public, but registration is required by May 10. Check-in will be from 8-8:30 a.m. Opening remarks will start at 8:30 a.m. Lunch is provided from noon-1 p.m. The seminar will conclude at 4 p.m. Participants can park at Parking Structure No. 2, 301 Hilltop Ave., Lexington, Kentucky 40506. 

Certificates for continuing education credits will be available.

As the state’s flagship, land-grant institution, the University of Kentucky exists to advance the Commonwealth. We do that by preparing the next generation of leaders — placing students at the heart of everything we do — and transforming the lives of Kentuckians through education, research and creative work, service and health care. We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.   

In 2022, UK was ranked by Forbes as one of the “Best Employers for New Grads” and named a “Diversity Champion” by INSIGHT into Diversity, a testament to our commitment to advance Kentucky and create a community of belonging for everyone. While our mission looks different in many ways than it did in 1865, the vision of service to our Commonwealth and the world remains the same. We are the University for Kentucky.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
