Folks, Note that I got the year wrong on the announcement. It is 2017 (next week). That’s the problem with cut and paste and a pounding headache.
Anyway, this is a cool presentation. Some of the Bexar Grotto Members helped with the field work. We’re also going to a meeting with the Witte Museum and this may be incorporated into their new geoscience exhibit. Thanks, Geary From: bexargro...@googlegroups.com<mailto:bexargro...@googlegroups.com> [mailto:bexargro...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Geary Schindel Sent: Wednesday, June 7, 2017 12:29 PM To: Bexar Grotto <bexargro...@googlegroups.com<mailto:bexargro...@googlegroups.com>> Subject: [BexarGrotto] FW: 3D Mapping of Seco Creek Sinkhole - Thursday, June 15 from 12:05 pm Folks, Please note that we have two brown bag presentations next week at the Edwards Aquifer Authority On Tuesday, June 13, Benjy von Cramon will be presenting his film on Madagascar. This is not the cartoon version. The presentation will start at 11:30 am. On Thursday, June 15, Benjy and I will present the results of the 3D mapping pilot project of the Seco Creek Sinkhole. This will occur at 12:05 pm. Both presentations will be in the Recharge Room at the Edwards Aquifer Authority. Thanks, Geary Schindel Edwards Aquifer Philosophical Society – aka brown bag luncheon Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 12:05 PM 3D Mapping of the Seco Creek Sinkhole, A View of an Edwards Aquifer Recharge Feature from the Inside By Benjamin von Cramon and Geary M. Schindel, P.G. At Edwards Aquifer Authority Training Room 900 E Quincy Street, San Antonio, TX 78215 Mr. Benjamin von Cramon and Mr. Geary Schindel will make a presentation on “3D mapping of the Seco Creek Sinkhole, A View of an Edwards Aquifer Recharge Feature from the Inside.” The presentation will occur on Thursday, June 15, 2016 from 12:05 PM 1:05 PM in the Training Room at the Edwards Aquifer Authority, 900 E. Quincy Street, San Antonio, Texas. These are informal presentations so please feel free to bring your lunch. You may also contact the EAA at 210.222.2204 or www.edwardsaquifer.org<http://www.edwardsaquifer.org/> for additional directions. If you are traveling a long distance for the talk, I would recommend that you call our receptionist at 210.222.2204 that morning to make sure that the talk is still scheduled. On very rare occasions, we have had to cancel or move the talk. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Abstract We will present the results of a pilot program to test the feasibility of using 3D photoreal mapping of the Seco Creek Sinkhole located in Medina County, Texas. This presentation will introduce the audience to 3D film and photo techniques utilizing cutting edge technology. The 3D model has multiple uses including an educational model of recharge features, cave geology and hydrology, and also allows tracking and measurement of sediment transport. The Seco Creek (Valdina Farm) Sinkhole is an important recharge site in the Edwards Aquifer. The cave is composed of a 150-foot-deep natural shaft that leads to approximately 1,000 feet of cave. During heavy rains, the cave shaft will fill to the top with rushing water. The 3D photoreal model offers the opportunity to view the Seco Creek Sinkhole without getting dirty or exposed to the vertical drops. It allows for detailed analysis of the cave and model can be easily operated with a game controller. Biography Benjamin von Cramon, film maker — His body of work defies clean titles and easy categories. In 25 years of writing, shooting, and editing for broadcast, institutional, and private industry, von Cramon recalibrates between wildly disparate projects, from documentaries filmed in prisons to stories in Fourth World homesteads to intensely visceral adventure docs deep underground. The auteur is as comfortable developing content around issues of great social import as he is problem-solving advanced technologies used to innovate the art of story-telling. A Fellow of the National Speleological Society and The Explorers Club, a qualified stereo rig tech for Element Technica, and a developer for Autodesk Labs, Reality Capture Group, the arc of his dynamic career reflects a sustained effort to elevate the latest technologies in their usefulness to education for highly visual learning experiences. Each of von Cramon’s projects are informed by broad humanities education, grounded in highly physical experiences, and are inspired by unbound curiosity and tempered hope for the human condition. Geary Schindel is the Chief Technical Officer of the Edwards Aquifer Authority. He has been a caver for more than 40 years and is the President Elect of the National Speleological Society (NSS). Geary is a fellow of the NSS and the Geological Society of America. He holds a BS degree from West Virginia University and an MS from Western Kentucky University. Thank you.
