AIPG
Hosted by AIPG National and the AIPG Wisconsin Section. Registration is open.
Workshop attendees will learn the history, chemistry, sampling techniques and current treatment options of PFAS, as well as developing regulatory proposals throughout the country. More than 4,700 PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) exist in the world today. Many PFAS transform into highly persistent perfluorinated chemicals in the environment. Short-chain PFAS tend to be more water soluble and move more easily through soil to contaminate ground-water, surface water or drinking water.

American Geosciences Institute
The American Geosciences Institute has been conducting the AGI's Geoscience Student Exit Survey for the past five years. One important measure is the change of hiring by different employment sectors over the past five years for bachelor's, master's and doctoral graduates. In Currents #135, percent stacked area graphs for each degree level show the various sectors hiring geoscience graduates at their degree completion, as well as the change of hiring within these industries over time.
The upcoming Status of the Geoscience Workforce 2018 report, which will be released in early 2019, will have an analysis of the five-year trends from the survey.

The Great Unconformity, a profound gap in Earth's stratigraphic record often evident below the base of the Cambrian system, has remained among the most enigmatic field observations in Earth science for over a century. While long associated directly or indirectly with the occurrence of the earliest complex animal fossils, a conclusive explanation for the formation and global extent of the Great Unconformity has remained elusive.

Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin warned the latest activity at 5:55 a.m. GMT had reached flight levels. The ash cloud is currently moving at a rate of 5kts in a south-westerly direction, according to Volcano Discovery. The worrying development comes after two-thirds of the volcano collapsed, triggering a devastating tsunami on Dec. 22. At least 429 people were killed on the islands of Sumatra and Java after the volcanic activity caused an underwater landslide generating huge waves.

Hours after a space probe from China made humanity's first landing on the far side of the moon, sending images of its surroundings back to Earth, the spacecraft deployed a rover on Thursday to take still more photographs and scan the surface of terrain never before traversed. The rover is programmed to roam across a barren vista toward a distinct crater.

New images and data returned by the New Horizons probe prove Ultima Thule is a snowman-shaped contact binary, the first to be explored by a spacecraft.
Early on New Year's Day, New Horizons passed within 2,200 miles of Ultima Thule — the most distant planetary flyby in history. The Kuiper belt object is currently 4 billion miles from the sun.

Something big lurks beneath Greenland's ice. Using ice-penetrating radar, scientists have discovered a crater larger than the city of Paris. This 31-kilometer- (19.3-mile-) wide pit in northwest Greenland lies buried under as much as 930 meters (3,000 feet) of ice.
It was formed by a meteorite that slammed into Earth. Scientists now calculate that this space rock must have been about 1.5 kilometers (0.9 mile) across. One so big would have caused notable environmental damage across the entire Northern Hemisphere, a new analysis finds.

Geoscience Frontiers
Ore forming processes involve the redistribution of heat, mass and momentum by a wide range of processes operating at different time and length scales. The fastest process at any given length scale tends to be the dominant control. Applying this principle to the array of physical processes that operate within magma flow pathways leads to some key insights into the origins of magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide ore deposits.
