   Professor Hatheway's PowerPoint and PDF Slide Show Archive
         Dr. Hatheway has begun posting the various PowerPoint "papers" he presented at
       the 2007 AEG "50th" Convention in L.A. and the 2007 GSA Convention in Denver.
                          ( Note: these are large files - not for dial-up connections )

   Related Note: Dr. Hatheway delivered three papers on manufactured gas at the 2006 Symposium of the International Association of Engineering Geology, held at Nottingham Trent University, UK in September 2006. These downloadable papers are as follows:

Geo-environmental classification of the residuals and wastes of gas manufacturing.

Long-term Fate and Transport Characteristics of Manufactured Gas Plant Residuals and Wastes.

Technical history of the town gas plants of the British Isles.
      (with Dr. Briget Doyle, College of Charleston).

A discussion of other manufactured gas technologies that co-existed with mainstream
coal-related manufactured gas systems.

The role of former manufactured gas plants in the arts.

Dr. Hatheway and Dr. Doyle continue to assemble a large collection of maps showing the locations of former manufactured gas plants in all 50 states! This will be a long-term task so check back often to view the latest maps.
