Dr. Lance Yarbrough presented ongoing work on mapping mining-induced subsidence using InSAR near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico. The project brings together researchers from the University of Mississippi and the U.S. Department of Energy to explore how satellite-based remote sensing can help identify and monitor ground deformation in complex geologic settings.

Great to see Ole Miss Geological Engineering research being shared with the broader engineering geology community and contributing to conversations about remote sensing, geohazards, and the future of engineering geology.

Congratulations to Ole Miss Geological Engineering student Asher Staubach on receiving the AEG Foundation 2026 Lemke Scholar Award at the AEG Annual Meeting in Chattanooga!

Asher also presented his research, “Remote Sensing-Derived Geological Strength Index for Slope Stability Assessment: A Case Study Near Paonia Reservoir, Colorado,” highlighting the application of remote sensing to engineering geology and slope stability assessment.

It is always exciting to see our students representing Ole Miss GGE, sharing their research, and being recognized for their accomplishments at national professional meetings.

Congratulations, Asher! Hotty Toddy! 🔴🔵

Ole Miss GGE connections at AEG 2026! 🔴🔵
Dr. Thomas Oommen and Dr. Lance Yarbrough from the Ole Miss Department of Geology & Geological Engineering enjoyed catching up with two of our GGE alumni at the AEG Annual Meeting in Chattanooga: Igor Jaramillo, P.G., Senior Project Engineer with Fugro, and Bill Walker, Geotechnical Engineer with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
Always great to see our GGE family reconnecting in the profession and to see where our alumni are making an impact!
If you’re at AEG this week, be sure to connect with Thomas and Lance and say hello!
Hotty Toddy! ❤️💙

Today, the Ole Miss Department of Geology and Geological Engineering kicked off the Fall semester with our faculty and staff retreat, followed by a welcome lunch with our graduate students!
It was wonderful to reconnect, welcome new faces, and prepare for the semester ahead. We can’t wait to welcome our undergraduate students back on Monday.
Wishing our students, faculty, and staff an excellent Fall semester ahead! Hotty Toddy!
