"I just finished the final course module of the (Challenges and Strategies for Implementing Environmental Sequence Stratigraphy) class. Thanks for providing such a detailed and well organized class actually geared for geo-professionals. It really drilled into the core topics and was a perfect class for my NYS PG continuing education credits."
- Andy Judd, PG, Hydrogeologist/Project Manager

"The online course, Implementing Environmental Sequence Stratigraphy, has given me a new perspective on conceptualizing the geology at the sites I work at for environmental investigations.

I've been mostly focused on correlations using lithology... but looking at correlations from a stratigraphic perspective seems much more powerful.

I have an upcoming project with a deep boring and I plan to work with our field geologist to add descriptions that will aid in developing a stratigraphic interpretation.

We do our homework looking at USGS and other reports regarding the regional geology but not really brought it to the borehole description level. The goal will be to add a stratigraphic column on the boring log like what was presented on the slide during Course Module 2.

Special thanks to Tim for getting us through Module 2. It was a long session, but it's good to keep us engaged in one session contrasting the three depositional settings (marine, glacial, and alluvial)."
- Joe Lysonski, Sr. Environmental Consultant,
   Anderson-Mulholland & Associates, Inc., Bedford Hills, NY

"This course clarifies the meaning of Environmental Sequence Stratigraphy for me. Each step is spot on and I appreciate the video tutorial about how soil core management can make stratigraphic identification easier or more difficult.

The 3 Phases of ESS are more obvious to me now and I liked the examples of how each phase was applied to three different depositional settings, Marine Sequences, Glacial Sequences, and Fluvial Sequences. I look forward to the rest of the course."
- Jerry Greer, PE, PG, Senior Consultant.

"I had an incredible learning experience with 'Taking The Mystery Out of the Subsurface' online course. The Midwest GeoSciences Group presented the course in a manner that:

• (Began) with basic geologic principles in a manner that was easy to understand,
• Expanded with more advanced principles were as the webinar progressed,
• Included reference materials are suitable for field use,
• Allows practice with hands-on activities, and
• Provides availability to Dan Kelleher for assisting in understanding the information present.

I highly recommend Midwest GeoSciences Group and Dan Kelleher to anyone interested in expanding their personal and professional growth in geology."

- Stephen Bochenek, NYS PG, Terracon Exploration Group Manager/Geologist

"The course is far more than just a review."
- Scott F. Martin LEP, CHMM, Senior Project Manager,
  Environmental Engineering and Technology, AECOM

"I benefited greatly from the content and perspective offered by the Midwest GeoScience Group Taking the Mystery out of the Subsurface course. The course teaches USCS from a geologic perspective and focuses on understanding the geologic foundations and associated depositional environments to bring full circle the training of geologists to the applied environmental and engineering geology that necessitates accurate borehole logging."
- Matthew W. Pendleton, PG, QSD/QSP, Project Geologist,
  EKI Environment & Water, Inc.

"The course is an eye-opener. I learned the key concepts about how good boring logs can positively impact an entire project."
- Tyler Bexton, Hydrogeologist

"I highly recommend the Taking the Mystery out of the Subsurface Course to anybody who wants to develop or refine their understanding of soil classification and boring logs. It was a practical course that drove home the essentials of this work and included interesting tips and perspectives from the experienced instructors. I especially appreciated the individualized attention that was given to each student to ensure that personal course goals were being met and every question was answered. Highly recommend this course!"
- Annie E. Tucker, Environmental Scientist, Environmental Partners, Inc.
