Designed as a series of webinars, participants can login for the entire course or any of the individual topics. Attendees will learn current advances and trends in geosynthetics for a variety of civil engineering applications, including landfills, coal combustion residuals (CCRs), CQA procedures, geomembrane durability and service life, wrinkles, and more. Course attendees can earn up to 6 professional development hours (PDH).

Each presentation will last approximately one hour (40–45 minutes for the presentation and 10–15 minutes for questions and answers).
