Richard Laton, an NGWA Scientists and Engineers Division member and active NGWA volunteer, is currently an associate professor of hydrogeology in the Department of Geological Sciences at California State University, Fullerton. Passionate about teaching students practical knowledge they can apply to real-world circumstances, he teaches classes ranging from hydrogeology, environmental sampling, and groundwater modeling to oceanography and geology. Laton has also taught at the Western Michigan University Field Camp for the past 15 years. Topics covered during these 50-hour, weeklong intensive courses include drilling techniques and sampling, aquifer testing, and remediation technologies.
I'm just a grandma sitting at home, I enjoy these geology classes I've gravited towards. Thanks 😊
Good on you ❤, all the best to you
Man i love this guy. "Water now is better than its ever gonna be, but thats okay, We have engineers whose sole purpose is to clean this shit up"
Well said sir
I was just about to comment the same. He says it with so much ease - real cool!
meanwhile, I'm studying at a malaysian university in which lecturers can't explain as good as a fraction from this lecture.. I love the way of interaction between the lecturer and students.. I really enjoyed the lecture :)
This is a great talk, thank you! I am trying to teach myself hydrogeology, and I appreciate the access to such valuable information and knowledgeable professionals. Thank you for providing this to us
one of the best lectures on hydrology and the funny way prof explained can make any one fall love in this subject really great
If you like geology, you can type in Frank Reiser M.S. on UA-cam for my geology videos. I have made some other videos in other sciences, such as organic chemistry. I have made 86 videos.
Good delivery. Best Hydrogeology lecture i've listened to. Appreciate it !
yup i gained so much knowledge after this,,
Agree!
great video,,studying for asbog FG , NOT PG this is is perfect for getting the fundamentals..
Very good content, very good delivery. Well done!
This helped me understand my hydro geology class better 😅
I can tell this presenter is passionate about their work.
Is it possible to have the link to the entire course offered, specifically the 50 hours mentioned in the description?
Amazing session... Well described, broad concepts made simple, easy to understand. Thanks
Very interesting lecture. Thanks!
Interesting presentation. Informative
He is good to explain the lessons
Well Done , nicely explain
I used to be a Driller myself. I have dilled mostly Oil / Gas Wells. Also drilled some Water Wells, Blast Holes, Environmental Wells, Coal Mine Degassification Wells, etc.
I pretty well understand how we can have Artesian Wells in the Lower Elevations of the Hill & Valley Country.BUT NOT in Flat Ground Country. Are Artesian Wells "even possible' in Flat Ground Country? Could the water flow a Great Distance from the nearest Hill or Mountain to feed an Artesian Well far away? May I "assume" the higher the point of Recharge on a Mountain, the higher the Hydrostatic Pressure to push the Water a farther distance.
BTW, I live in Tennessee in an area with a lot of Karst Topography.
Very interesting!!!
Going over stuff for a job interview so useful!
Hope you got it!
Thank you
Well done. Thank you
wow i liked it....because really i like hydrogeology
We need to focus on the term “true cost” which would emphasize environmental cost, today, and for the future.
i love this professor
very good lecture
this is very good.
Bore recharge how do ?
which job in geology field has hiughest paid job???
i totally teach ground water in grades 6-12
This guy is funny, good lecture
Don't we get minerals from other things so shouldn't we be able to drink the distillate water even if we add flavor
?
Yes , the amount of minerals you get from drinking water is very small. A small amount of food would cover those amounts. I did the math on Na . Very low Na water vs very high Na. Tiny difference in mg per day compared to the amount of Na we get from food.
you are a beast
The lecturer's wordly scars however expresses trough sporadic negativity. Meditate, feel love.
Kevin Côte Bourget I don't think emotional engineering is a real science
nice
23:58 THATS COOL, thats some potential energy shenanigans isnt it
I’m here today April 9th 2024.. I’m a plumber.
I’m very interested and am listening to you. I would love to ask you a question about something I’ve been seeing for the first time in 20 years.
I’ve tried to search but can’t get an answer. It’s not a big deal but I think I’m on the right track and it’s freaking interesting to me
It's clear as mud! Love UKULELE HOLLY BLOE USA
haha soo truee
19:31 "The pressure is into my hole not out of it"... behave
thought it was just me that this statement came over so wrong lmao
At around 42:00 he states that RO cannot remove pharmaceuticals. Yes it can unless they have some sort of organic solvent chemistry. RO removes Na Cl dissolved in water so down to the ionic level. RO has 99% + rejection of chemical warfare , bio warfare and nuclear fail out agents,
Also no water treatment plant outlet is pure water. Its treated to the standard that it has to be so the environment can do the rest by bio action, natural filtering etc.
Thank you for your comment! Please feel free to check out our latest lectures at NGWA.org.
How to become hydrogeology is there any certificate of hydrogeologist Or ground water exploration
Hello! Here's a link to certification options we have through NGWA, as well as FAQs: www.ngwa.org/advance-your-career/certification
@@NGWATUBE ground water exploration course is there sir? And. What is the eligibility
@@patelmuddasirnaushad2066 Here is a list of careers that we can help with: www.ngwa.org/advance-your-career/groundwater-industry-careers
@@NGWATUBE ground water hydrogeologist course is there sir what is the eligibility criteria for and What is the fees
Anyone around Oak Ridge TN has city water because of the Secret City.
I wish this was my professor. Anyone know of a tutor for this subject?

He's playing down the risks and consequences.
Came for the geology, left after a series of bad jokes...
really good intro to hydrogeolgy!!!! Kill the Rich!
Why can’t we treat ocean water and put it in the ground ?
Hello! We asked our director of science and technology, and he said: "Desalination of ocean water is increasingly used by coastal communities but is a very energy-intensive process. It's the most expensive source of drinking water. It is possible to recharge groundwater with treated ocean water, but much more likely to use the treated ocean water in lieu of groundwater and thereby reduce groundwater withdrawals."
@@NGWATUBE
Good day . If we treat more ocean water and put it in the ground and then started recycling the ground water as in wells won’t that be a one time cost activity. We’ll only need maybe 3% of ocean water to keep us going for more than 3 generations.
@@twotimes629groundwater injection is a thing, but is energy intensive, and in places where groundwater is most affected, such as the ogallala aquifer, that would require MASSIVE infrastructure to account for the loss that the aquifer takes,
You also have to factor in the actual rates the water can be filtered. If you stick a well into this salt saturated water it won't just magically be filtered. It needs time to move, and that can be especially slow and imperfect, and whilst I don't have numbers, I am pretty sure if money was not an issue, then the pulldown rates and the aquifer withdrawal would far exceed the capacity of truck water deliveries, and possibly even a small pipeline. It's incredibly energy intensive
you have left the primary water cycle. check out primarywater.org and incorporate this newfound knowledge into your teaching . there is no such thing as a drought! wake up people primarywater.org
So TRUE Bear,im in S Africa,n we enterin water crises!
On the same page sister!
bear morningsun, first of all, you could still have a drought with the primary water cycle as this primary water cycle won't be present everywhere. And a drought is defined in terms of rainfall, not available water. Secondly, off it is renewable, how is the water broken up into oxygen and hydrogen later on? For it to be renewable, you would have to have the water broken up and reintroduced in the beginning process.
I listened to more of it and had to stop, there is no science at all in it. No science. Just some poor misguided attempt at using logic to understand the world. This is the hydrological equivalent of the flat earth theory.
Not to mention the obvious bias of the Lady performing the interview. She had already made up her mind that there was a conspiracy about water and she was looking for anything that would substantiate that. The reason it isn't taught in schools isn't a conspiracy, it's because it's not science. My favourite part was at the beginning that went something like this
Interviewee: "all secondary water is polluted from humans just by their existence"
Her: "so like chemical companies dumping..."
Interviewee cuts her off: "yes but not really, it's comes from all humans just by living"
Her: "so like waste water injection wells"
Interviewee: *sigh* "you're missing the point, but we're just going to move on"
bias much?
As much as I appreciate the prof. saying "make your own opinion, find out about it".
I think it is extremely irresponsible on his part to not affirm strongly that human indused/ amplified global warming and climate change are real.
As a scientist or anyone in any field of science, it is necessary to be assertive about this. Especially in the USA where so many people will look at him not saying "humans are responsible" and go "see, it is all a hoax".
Is it still irresponsible if he doesn't yet know if data confirms that humans have impacted the change? Learn to look at things from a different lenz. Just because you feel emotionally strong about a given topic does not mean he's being "extremely irresponsible". Engineering is an applications in science field. If you feel strong about it, take that feeling and apply it to your career.
@@marcsimm1 @Marc Simm Is it still irresponsible if he doesn't yet know if data confirms that humans have impacted the change?
- This video was uploaded just 5 years ago, and let's assume it was recorded within a span of a year before that.
6 years ago, in 2014 there was already overwhelming amount of data and consensus among scientists about anthropogenic amplification of clinical change. It wasn't a little data. It wasn't some data. It was not a lot of data.
It was an OVERWHELMING amount of data.
Now whether he knew about this data and didn't strongly affirm in it or whether he just didn't know about the availability of this huge amount of data, especially being in earth sciences is clearly ignorance at best and irresponsibility at worst.
Learn to look at things from a different lens. Just because you feel emotionally strong about a given topic does not mean he's being "extremely irresponsible".
-I'd look at it from any lens available, but all I can see is an earth science professor not telling his students "human amplification of climate change is real". Which isn't an opinion, it's a verified fact with a huge amount of evidence backing up the claim, in a country where a large number of people are still denying climate change.
And this isn't about how I feel, emotionally on the subject of globally accepted science. How an individual "feels" is irrelevant in science, and that includes me.
My emotions are irrelevant to the topic.
Engineering is an applications in science field. If you feel strong about it, take that feeling and apply it to your career.
- I don't understand your point about engineering. What were you trying to say?
And just because I feel strongly about it does not mean I have to apply it to my career. I feel strongly about a lot of things, like everyone else, and we can't go about having a dozen careers, can we?
That being said.
Me career is actually in Earth sciences. And I am infact doing research on related subjects.
@@AdmiralSP You're taking it wrong, he says "make your own opinion" but then he strongly suggests that climate changes happen and there's a lot of industrialization happening, it's not really that hard to guess his opinion on this topic.
Also I do know professors who DENY global warming, so it's not really the most homogenic topic out there.
100 years ago, everyone _knew_ Alfred Wegener was wrong about continental drift. Global Warming is real, but so is global cooling. Climate change _has_ been going on since the formation of the Earth, and humans most likely impact it, but in the sense of pushing an already moving cart along.
@@CthulhuAndarielsame here, I am currently a geologist, and here the same thing
eey?
Eh?
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
i wonder what this man thinks of the current state of man made climate change
Took forever to get to content. Bye. I'm gone.
I know. If only there were a way to fast forward these videos...
bruh is a climate denier 💀
Great Video! (Jesimiel Millar Fernåndez) 1M1K624
