Hi SCP! Please join us in person for our biannual meeting of the Society of Concrete Petrographers that will take place in conjunction with the ASTM committee meetings in DC. We will meet on Monday evening at 6 pm after that ASTM C09.65 Task Group meeting in the same room (DuPont). We will briefly go over some administrative tasks, and then will open up the meeting for discussions about remote training of petrographers and for anyone to bring up interesting projects or images. If you have anything you would like to bring up, bring to the meeting and images or ideas that you would like to discuss with others in a casual environment. Looking forward to seeing everyone next week! Daniela

SCP Meeting at ASTM Seattle - June 13 at 6 pm

Hello SCP Members! Please join us (back in person!) for the bi-annual meeting of the Society of Concrete Petrographers occurring in conjunction with the ASTM committee meeting in Seattle. We will meet on Monday evening, June 13 at 6pm immediately after the ASTM C09.65 C856 Task group meeting. The SCP meeting will take place in the same room as the task group meeting - Room 408– Washougal. Please note the meeting has been arranged for Monday evening rather than our previous more typical Tuesday evening time, and we plan to continue with Monday meetings in the future. We are planning to briefly go over some administrative tasks at the beginning of the meeting, after which we can open the meeting up to anyone with recent interesting presentations or findings related to their concrete petrography related investigations. We have one presenter lined up already, but if you would like to present, please let me or another officer know, or bring to the meeting any images or ideas that you would like to discuss with others in a casual environment! Look forward to seeing everyone there, Daniela Mauro

Passing of Jon Asselanis

On April 29th, 2021, Jon Asselanis passed away after valiantly battling his second bout of cancer. Jon originally defeated his first round of cancer five years ago before it returned early last year.

Jon began his path to concrete petrography by obtaining his bachelor’s degree in Geology from Humboldt State University (Arcata, CA). While working as a Research Associate for the University of California, Jon obtained a master’s degree in engineering science from the University of California – Berkeley. Shortly after, Jon joined the ranks of consultants beginning with Schwein Christensen Laboratories, then Applied Materials and Engineering, and finally with Atlas Technical Consultants, formerly CEL-Consulting.

Jon leaves behind a legacy of professionalism, technical service, and numerous close relationships within the California market, as well as in the industry as a whole. Jon is survived by his wife (Tula), son (Peter), and his sister (Kara). Services are scheduled at Ascension Cathedral (Oakland, CA) and will be streamed on YouTube. The stream can be found by searching for Jon’s name and the Church’s name.
