Call for Abstracts — 2022 AIPG National Conference
AIPG
AIPG is currently accepting abstracts for oral presentations and poster presentations for the 59th American Institute of Professional Geologists' National Conference that will be held in Marquette, Michigan, on the beautiful shores of the world's largest freshwater lake.
This year’s meeting theme is "Geology: The Cornerstone of our Future". Geology plays a significant role in today’s society and will become ever more important in the years to come. Our reliance on basic resources and building materials such as sand and gravel for roads, limestone for concrete, iron for structural purposes, and other base metals for electronics and other applications will not diminish; rather, it will become a greater concern as existing deposits are depleted or rendered inaccessible.

Earth's insides are cooling faster than we thought, and it will mess things up
Science Alert
Earth formed 4.5 billion years or so ago. Ever since then, it's been slowly cooling on the inside.
While the surface and atmosphere temperatures fluctuate over the eons (and yes, those external temperatures are currently warming), the molten interior — the beating heart of our planet — has been cooling this entire time.

Remember when life was found in a Martian meteorite? Turns out, it was just geology
Universe Today
The Alan Hills meteorite is a part of history to Mars aficionados. It came from Mars and meteorite hunters discovered in Antarctica in 1984. Scientists think it's one of the oldest chunks of rock to come from Mars and make it to Earth.
The meteorite made headlines in 1996 when a team of researchers said they found evidence of life in it.
Did they?

Rocks found in Greenland reveal Earth was once covered in an ocean of magma
Study Finds
Earth was nothing more than a giant ocean of lava 3.6 billion years ago, according to new research. The planet's oldest rocks show that the planet's magma sea was hundreds of miles deep and stretched across Earth's surface. The rocks also contain the earliest evidence of microbial life and plate tectonics.
