ATL SENIOR GEOLOGIST PRESENTS AT THE CNYAPG MEETING

ATL Senior Geologist Chris Kelson, PhD, PG, gave a presentation at the CNYAPG (Central New York Association of Professional Geologists) meeting. The conference took place on January 7^th in Syracuse, NY, and consisted of presentations and a panel discussion with members of the State Board for Engineering, Land Surveying, and Geology to answer questions from attendees.

Chris delivered a presentation titled “Pyrite and Pyrrhotite in Shale, Fill Material, and Aggregate: A Potential Geotechnical Concern.” The presentation outlined the mineralogy and geological occurrences of pyrite and pyrrhotite and discussed the geochemical and environmental factors that can contribute to the deleterious effects sometimes associated with these minerals. We’re proud of our employees for sharing their expertise at conferences across the country. Congratulations, Chris!
