SUMMARY:Hitting the right frequency - not all conductors are created equal
DESCRIPTION:Date: May 23\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 PM \nEvent Format: In-person Presentation \nLocation: Saskatoon\, SK \nHosting Organization: Saskatoon Geoscience Discussion Group \nEvent Summary: Airborne time domain electromagnetic (EM) surveys are indispensable tools for subsurface exploration\, particularly in resolving conductors at depth. Their depth of investigation depends in part on transmitter frequency and moment\, as well as the noise levels of the receiver. In this study\, we present a comparison of conductor detection and resolution capabilities of the Xcite time-domain EM system operating at frequencies of 15 Hz and 30 Hz. Through detailed modelling of data collected over a study area\, we investigate the effect of these frequencies on the system’s ability to detect and resolve conductors. Methodologically\, we describe the parameters and settings used for both frequencies and outline the data analysis techniques used. Our results reveal significant differences in conductor detection and resolution between the two frequencies. The practical implications of our study extend to improvements in survey design\, suggesting that the choice of frequency can significantly impact survey outcomes. Moreover\, our findings underscore the importance of further research to enhance understanding and optimization of airborne EM survey methodologies. Presented by Vessela Hobson\, Chief Geophysicist Axiom Geophysics & Remote Sensing. \nHow to Register: Click here for more information and to register. \nEvent Contact: Saskatoon Geoscience Discussion Group: https://stoongeogroup.ca/ \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.

This webinar aims to simplify and clarify welding procedures by bridging the gap between welding metallurgy and code requirements. Participants will gain insights into how the behavior of steels under heat—such as phase changes\, hardening\, and heat-affected zone effects—influences procedure design. We’ll connect these metallurgical principles to the creation and qualification of essential documents: the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS)\, Procedure Qualification Record (PQR)\, and Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ). \nPresenter: Dr. Hamed Akhiani\, P.Eng. completed his PhD in Materials/Mechanical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. With more than 15 years of experience in various industries including Agricultural\, Automotive\, Nuclear\, Energy and Oil/Gas\, he served as a sessional lecturer for Welding at University of Calgary and Material Science at the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Akhiani is a Professional Engineer in AB\, SK and BC and a certified Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) Welding Engineer. In 2021\, he founded XPERJY Inc. based on the need for interdisciplinary technical training provided by Subject Matter Experts. His vision is to provide customized training by Subject Matter Experts to clients based on their team knowledge gap to enhance team productivity. He currently works at IMPACT Pump Solution in Calgary. \nWho Should Attend: Engineers (mechanical\, structural\, chemical\, materials\, manufacturing)\, QC/QA professionals\, inspectors\, and code compliance personnel. \n______________________________________________________________________________ \nGeneral Information: There is no cost to attend\, but registration is required.

It operates as a self-sufficient power system that can connect to the main grid when necessary. The University of Regina’s Microgrid Living Lab\, the first of its kind in Saskatchewan\, serves as both a research and teaching facility as well as a testing ground. Funded by Prairies Economic Development Canada (PrairiesCan)\, the lab features real energy infrastructure and resources\, including loads\, an advanced digital control centre\, a battery storage system\, and renewable energy sources. These tools enable researchers\, students\, and companies to simulate and test microgrid operations in real-world conditions. This presentation will briefly introduce the concept of microgrids\, describe the University of Regina’s microgrid and its use cases\, and highlight the benefits and future prospects. It will also discuss the challenges involved in developing such systems. Finally\, a live demonstration of the microgrid control system will be provided. \nPresenter: Dr. Irfan Al-Anbagi\, P.Eng. is a Professor at the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science\, University of Regina\, and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Saskatchewan. He also directs the University of Regina’s Internet of Things (IoT) and Microgrid research laboratories. Dr. Al-Anbagi earned his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Ottawa in 2013. From 2013 to 2015\, he served as a Postdoctoral Fellow and Product Development Manager for the “SecCharge” Project at the University of Ottawa. His research centers on IoT systems\, smart grid communication\, and information systems\, including big data analysis\, system reliability\, optimization\, and cybersecurity. He is a registered professional engineer with APEGS and PEO. \n______________________________________________________________________________ \nGeneral Information: There is no cost to attend\, but registration is required.
