The M2S2 webinars have proven to be valuable forums to share information across our munitions response industry, on a wide range of topics and presented by a variety of subject matter experts representing multiple perspectives. In April 2023, the Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP), in conjunction with the National Association of Contractors and the 2nd Munitions Response Meeting, held 3 days of technical talks focused on lessons learned, case studies, and emerging technologies in support of MMRP. The talks that best fit a wider audience of project managers and stakeholders were selected to be presented during this M2S2 webinar. Talks will focus on Advanced Geophysical Classification (AGC), underwater research and development, alternative positioning systems, recent lessons learned, and novel applications of technology. The webinar will include the following presentations:

  1. "SERDP/ESTCP Munitions Response Program Overview"- David Bradley, SERDP/ESTCP
  2. "Update on the Novel Application of AGC at Redstone Arsenal MSFC-003"- Amy Walker, USACE
  3. "Complex Seed Scenarios- Does AGC Work as Assumed in Multisource Scenarios"- Jenn Weller, Jacobs
  4. "Estimating Site-Specific Effective Classification Depths Using UX-Analyze"- Craig Murray, Parsons
  5. "What We Have Learned From Using SLAM in Challenging Environments"- Jake Vera, Weston Solutions
  6. "You Missed a QC Seed, Now What?"- Harry Wagner, Weston Solutions
  7. "Are Cued AGC Surveys Necessary?"- Kevin Kingdon, Black Tusk Geophysics
  8. "Warwick Furnace- Lost and Found Using UAS"- Greg Schultz, White River Technologies
