This year’s seminar highlights recent advances in geoscience and hydrogeology research across Kentucky, focusing on karst landscapes, groundwater systems, and natural hazard assessment. The innovative projects discussed include the integration of LiDAR and machine learning to map and monitor sinkholes in the Barren River Area Development District, significantly enhancing hazard evaluation and infrastructure risk assessment, as well as the use of drone-based thermal imaging and subsurface sensors to study groundwater flow and elevation changes across the region.
