Mining Feature: SME Spring 2022 Seminar Series features NIOSH presentations
Monday, March 28, 2022
The NIOSH Mining Program will be delivering a series of presentations at the Spring 2022 Seminar Series coordinated between the Program and the Pittsburgh Section of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, & Exploration (SME). These presentations are based on NIOSH papers accepted and published at the 2022 SME Annual Conference.
The Series will consist of six 90-minute virtual sessions beginning on Tuesday, April 19th and continuing thereafter on a Tuesday-Thursday schedule for three weeks (April 19, 21, 26, 28, May 3 and 5). Each session will begin at 1:00 p.m. EDT and will conclude at 2:30 p.m. During each session, a total of four papers will be presented at 20-minute intervals (15 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions).
Preview the program of sessions, scheduled presentations, and abstracts.
Attendance is free.
For those who wish to earn professional development hours, PDH certificates are available from SME at an extra cost. PDH certificates will be available for 1.5 hours per session up to a total of 9 hours for the complete series. SME will charge $50 per certificate regardless of the number of hours.
Registration is required for attendance and to receive an optional PDH certificate. Upon registration, you will receive an email confirmation containing the Zoom meeting link and additional information.
PDH certificates must be requested from Mary DelRosso (mary412d@comcast.net or 412-835-7387)
