SUMMARY:Mineral Sand Mining in the Ga Coastal Plain--Perspectives & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Heavy mineral mining in the Georgia Coastal Plain recently has been in the news as a permit is being considered by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to allow mining near the Okefenokee Swamp\, one of our state’s natural and historic treasures. It is part of the mission of the AGS to communicate science relevant to our community in an open\, accurate\, and understandable way. We are privileged to be joined by hydrologist Dr. Rhett Jackson from the University of Georgia and geologist Jim Renner from The Chemours Company (not involved in the permit request) to help separate the facts and fictions of mineral sand mining in the Coastal Plain. These experts each will give brief talks followed by questions and discussion led by AGS members. The public will have the opportunity to pose questions via Facebook Live. Please join us for this important and informative evening.

SUMMARY:AGS Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: John Clarke\, Retired Assistant Director\, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)\, Ga Water Science Ctr. \nTopic: Georgia’s groundwater wars \nAbstract: Water is the lifeblood of our planet. Throughout history to the present day\, wars have been waged over this precious resource\, and Georgia is no exception.  The presentation will provide an overview of conflicts over groundwater resources of Georgia and adjacent South Carolina\, Alabama\, and Florida. This includes saltwater intrusion along the coast\, groundwater contamination at the Savannah River Site\, and effects of agricultural pumping on streamflow in the Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin. \nSpeaker Bio: John Clarke retired in 2014 after a 35-year career with the USGS Georgia Water Science Center. As hydrologist and Assistant Director for Hydrologic Investigations\, he authored more than 50 papers on Georgia groundwater\, and twice served as president of the Georgia Ground Water Association. Notable project work included assessment of groundwater contaminants at the Savannah River Site; development of a hydrologic overview of Israel\, Jordan\, and Palestinian territories as part ongoing peace initiatives; and design and implementation of the Georgia Coastal Sound Science Initiative to assess coastal area groundwater resources and address issues of salt-water intrusion and resource sustainability.
