AIPG
Techniques for developing high resolution light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) conceptual site models
Jan. 18 — 1 p.m. ET. Teacher: Roger Lamb, AIPG Professional Member
Register online. This AIPG-accredited, two-hour course provides 2 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) or .2 CEUs.
This presentation is intended for geologist involved in LNAPL assessment and remediation. This class will provide information on the development of high resolution conceptual site models that can be used to guarantee the project goals are met.
The class will cover developing initial LCSMs for existing data, design of a high resolution LCSM field program, and end use of high resolution data to guarantee results.
Live webinar prices: $125 for AIPG CPG Members; $150 for AIPG Members; $175 for Non-Members.

AIPG
Date: Feb. 9-10
Venue: Royal Belgium Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels
Organizers: EFG, UNECE
Register soon because seats are limited and a confirmation receipt is necessary to access the venue.
This event will provide a unique opportunity to discuss a transparent and harmonized classification framework for fossil and renewable energy sources and minerals in a cross-disciplinary environment, including EU policymakers, UN representatives, international energy experts, national government officials, academics, energy and minerals company executives, as well as finance, industry and environment experts.
Conference aim
The conference will foster the convergence of terminology and the comparability/compatibility of data, thus contributing to the creation of a solid European Knowledge Database on mineral and energy resources. Such harmonization is equally important to government policymakers and to companies and regulators within the energy and minerals industries, including the users and providers of data on energy and minerals reserves and resources and renewable energy. UNFC will be reviewed, including its potential for application in Europe and beyond and its relationship with other classification and public reporting systems.
Speakers
There will be presentations from speakers representing a range of relevant UNECE and European policy areas linked to energy and minerals, as well as from international and European experts drawn from regulatory authorities, industry and nongovernmental organizations. There will also be contributions from representatives of fossil and renewable energy companies, the mining industry and academia.

Japanese scientists believe they have established the identity of a "missing element" within the earth's core.
They have been searching for the element for decades, believing it makes up a significant proportion of our planet's center, after iron and nickel.
Now by recreating the high temperatures and pressures found in the deep interior, experiments suggest the most likely candidate is silicon.
The discovery could help us to better understand how our world formed.

Holidaymakers concerned about fresh volcanic eruptions causing flight-disrupting ash clouds might be reassured by a study setting out the first reliable estimates of their frequency. While the University of Leeds-led research suggests that ash clouds are more common over northern Europe than previously thought, it puts the average gap between them at about 44 years.

The moon is the most obvious and familiar object in Earth's night sky — constant, consistent, predictable in its monthly cycles and its daily rising and setting. Astronomers understand the moon's movements so thoroughly that even a break from the routine, like an eclipse, can be anticipated 1,000 years in advance.
But we don't know the moon as well as we think. In fact, for years, astronomy has been in an uproar over the origin of Earth's only natural satellite, grappling to make sense of a model that seems increasingly unsatisfactory.

A fossilized fruit dating back 52 million years has been discovered in South America.
The ancient berry belongs to a family of plants that includes popular foods such as potatoes, tomatoes and peppers.
The plant family's early history is largely unknown as, until now, only a few seeds have been found in the fossil record.
Scientists say the origins of the class go back much further than previously thought, by tens of millions of years.

Merlin Diamonds has unearthed Australia’s fifth-largest diamond from its namesake mine in Australia’s Northern Territory, currently in the ramp up phase. The company said the 35.26-carat brown diamond was among a number of rough gems found at its Merlin mine, including a 14.6-carat brown rock as well as a number of smaller white diamonds.

A recent study found that the Great Barrier Reef was nearly destroyed roughly 125,000 years ago due to rapid sea-level rise from melting glaciers and polar ice sheets. If left unchecked, the Earth could be headed for similar sea levels in the future.

Researchers have predicted that a new megacontinent — Amasia — will form in the next 250 million years. North and South America will crunch together, with the Caribbean Sea and Arctic Ocean disappearing, while Asia will join the Americas, according to new simulations from Yale University researchers and Japan's Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology.

A new study is helping to answer a longstanding question that has recently moved to the forefront of earth science: Did our planet make its own water through geologic processes, or did water come to us via icy comets from the far reaches of the solar system?
