ABOUT CRAIG LANGBEIN CEG

California Certified Engineering Geologist with broad experience and skill base covering: project management, exploration geology, mine geology, geochemistry, geophysics, structural geology, geotechnical, mapping, surveying, UAV photogrammetry, remote sensing and GIS, database administration, research, and reporting.My previous career as a commercial diver and skipper provided experience working and thinking in extreme conditions and the occasional frightening situation. Remember anyone can accidentally get themselves into trouble, but not everyone can get themselves back out!An essential part of my work philosophy is that a range of technical and practical skills are required to be a successful geologist, and these skills need to be developed and honed over an entire career. My favourite geological quote:\"No Geologist worth anything is permanently bound to a desk or laboratory, but the charming notion that true science can only be based on unbiased observation of nature in the raw is mythology. Creative work, in geology and anywhere else, is interaction and synthesis: half-baked ideas from a bar room, rocks in the field, chains of thought from lonely walks, numbers squeezed from rocks in a laboratory, numbers from a calculator riveted to a desk, fancy equipment usually malfunctioning on expensive ships, cheap equipment in the human cranium, arguments before a road cut\"- Stephen Jay Gould
