Plan on attending AIPG's 2018 Annual Meeting in Colorado Springs. Our field trips will explore central Colorado including the Cripple Creek & Victor gold mine, the Portland cement plant and adjacent Niobrara Fm quarry, the upper Arkansas geothermal systems, the latest in SW South Park geology and the Wall Mountain Tuff, among others. The technical sessions will cover the full spectrum of geosciences; start thinking about your presentation. We're planning short courses on being an expert witness, the use of Rockware's software and preparing an AIPG/AGI GOLI course. We'll have a Student Career Day on Saturday, Sept. 8. Young professionals start working on a presentation on a project you're working on that will induce your employer to send you to the meeting; remember such presentations are also good marketing for your firm. And we're arranging a trip on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway to the 14,115-foot summit of America's mountain.

AGI
No country in the world produces all of the mineral resources necessary for modern society. International trade plays a critical role in providing these raw materials, forming a global network of production, export, import, and use. This network must continuously adapt to national and international developments in science, technology, politics and economics. As a result, information on the global flow of raw materials plays a fundamental role in improving national and international resilience to potential supply disruptions and market changes.
This webinar will focus on U.S. and EU efforts to gather information and develop tools that can be used to ensure a secure national and global supply of mineral resources; identify and quantify vulnerabilities in this supply; and stimulate national and international co-operation, education and outreach, and innovation in the development, recycling and substitution of key mineral resources.
Key topics to be addressed include:
- How critical materials are monitored around the world from U.S. and EU perspectives
- Examples of how mineral criticality evolves over time in response to demand, politics, and technology
- How these monitoring data can be used to inform decisions in industry, policy, and research
The speakers are Nedal Nassar, Ph.D., National Minerals Information Center, U.S. Geological Survey and Vitor Correia, President, European Federation of Geologists.

The recent dramatic increase (and more recent decline) of seismic activity in Oklahoma poses both scientific questions and environmental/economic challenges. Understanding the controlling factors of seismicity requires significant research efforts in multiple disciplines of geosciences and engineering. Oklahoma represents a natural laboratory of tectonic and induced seismicity. Many researchers from Oklahoma universities (University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, University of Tulsa, etc.), state agencies (Oklahoma Geological Survey, Oklahoma Corporation Commission) and energy companies are investigating a wide range of topics related to these earthquakes (http://earthquakes.ou.edu). In addition, adjacent states with potentially induced seismicity are engaged in activities related to the work in Oklahoma.
We propose to have a two-day workshop, Feb. 20-21, in Norman, Oklahoma. The workshop will allow researchers from Oklahoma and other states, Federal agencies, the energy industry, and other interested parties to meet and discuss models of tectonic versus-induced earthquakes, as well as explore practical procedures to mitigate seismic hazard.
The workshop will address topics such as:
- Regional seismic monitoring, data management and analysis
- Regional subsurface fault structures; seismicity-fault relations; in-situ stress
- Rock mechanical properties of significant Oklahoma rock units
- Modeling fluid flow and solid deformation related to produced water injection
- Hydrological analyses of relevant aquifers and reservoirs
- Geomechanical modeling of ground shaking within the central United States
- Best practices for regulation and management of Underground Injection Control (UIC) Class II disposal wells
- Modeling of earthquake effects on surface or underground structures
- Assessment approaches for seismic hazard
- Innovative methods to distinguish between induced and tectonic earthquakes
At the workshop, we will discuss current progress from individual research groups, main challenges and research needs for understanding the phenomena, and we will seek to coordinate future collaborative research plans, which may lead to medium-to-longer-term multi-disciplinary projects. The workshop is meant to be informal and to facilitate current and future collaboration, so that even projects at early stages of development are invited to discuss plans and objectives. The structure of the workshop will likely involve panel discussions on topical areas, with short (12-15 minute) presentations and extensive discussion periods.
Persons or teams interested in a presentation should submit a title and a 200-word abstract, including whether the presentation will be of work planned, in progress or nearing completion to: jboak@ou.edu. Presenters will be asked to complete a release form to include a web-publishable version of the presentation in the workshop summary report. That version may delete sensitive or proprietary material presented at the workshop. The workshop organizers prefer presentations that can be released publicly.
For additional information on the technical program, contact the workshop organizers: Jeremy Boak, (405) 325-7968; Kyle Murray, (405) 325-7502; Jacob Walter, (405) 325-8497.

Mount Etna volcano (Sicily, Italy) is the place where short-lived radioactive disequilibrium measurements in volcanic gases were initiated more than 40 years ago. Almost two decades after the last measurements in Mount Etna plume, we carried out in 2015 a new survey of 210Pb-210Bi-210Po radioactive disequilibria in gaseous emanations from the volcano.

The Earth is the only body in the solar system for which significant observational constraints are accessible to such a degree that they can be used to discriminate between competing models of Earth's tectonic evolution. It is a natural tendency to use observations of the Earth to inform more general models of planetary evolution. However, our understating of Earth's evolution is far from complete.

Efficiently discovering the interaction of the collector oleate and siderite is of great significance for understanding the inherent function of siderite weakening hematite reverse flotation. For this purpose, investigation of the adsorption behavior of oleate on siderite surface was performed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations associating with atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging.

The response of the terrestrial Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) of CO2 to climate variations and trends may crucially determine the future climate trajectory. Here we directly quantify this response on interannual time scales, by building a linear regression of interannual NEE anomalies against observed air temperature anomalies into an atmospheric inverse calculation based on long-term atmospheric CO2 observations.

A model for the extraction and quantitative characterization of submarine landforms from high-resolution digital bathymetry is presented. The procedure is fully automated and comprises two parts. The first part consists of an analytical model which extracts quantitative information from a Digital Elevation Model in the form of objects with similar parametric characteristics (terrain objects). The second part is a rule-based model where the terrain objects are reclassified into distinct landforms with well-defined three dimensional characteristics.

Gemini surfactants, with double hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, offer potentially orders of magnitude greater surface activity compared to similar single unit molecules. A cationic Gemini surfactant (Propyl didodecyldimethylammonium Bromide, PDDDAB) and a conventional cationic surfactant (Dodecyltrimethylammonium Bromide, DTAB) were used to pre-treat and generate activated carbon.

We examine the feasibility and added value of upscaling point data of soil moisture from a small- to a mesoscale
catchment for the purpose of single-event flood prediction. We test the hypothesis that in a given catchment, the
present soil moisture status is a key factor governing peak discharge, flow volume and flood duration.

Quantitative reconstructions of past land use facilitate comparisons between livelihoods in space and time. However, comparison between different types of land use strategies is challenging as land use has a multitude of expressions and intensities. The quantitative method presented here facilitates the exploration and synthetization of uneven archaeological and textual evidence from past societies.
