October 3-6, 2020 | Sacramento, California| Hilton Sacramento Arden West Hotel
The California Section has been working diligently to build a 2020 Annual Conference that brings students, young professionals, and long-time AIPG members into their future destiny. The AIPG 2020 annual conference theme is "Role of Geoscientists for Resiliency, Sustainability, and Opportunities in the Changing Environment." Sacramento, California, is the host city, and the surrounding area is spectacular. It includes the magnificent Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Tahoe, Sonoma and Napa vineyards and wineries, Pacific Ocean shorelines, and America's western source of nuts, fruits and vegetables. These great attractions are within easy driving distance of our conference location. California is experiencing a high frequency of extreme temperature and precipitation conditions, which has challenged the state's water resources, created geohazards, impacted where we grow the nation's food and is developing vulnerabilities along our rising coastlines.

Scientists at Duke University are studying earthquakes and have devised a "Proposed Melting Rocks" model that will foresee the initial movement of rock begins in several kinds of bedrock. Prior to developing this model for earthquakes, there was much guessing into what is happening under everyone's feet. Most earth sciences dealing with earthquake prediction is very imprecise to this date.

Scientists sampling ice cores from a glacier in China discovered 28 viruses that had been frozen in time for as long as 15,000 years, and were not previously known to mankind.
The find was detailed in a paper posted earlier this month on the website bioRxiv by researchers from Ohio State University, the University of Nebraska and the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute.

Antarctica is the remotest part of the world, but it is a hub of scientific discovery, international diplomacy and environmental change. It was officially discovered 200 years ago, on Jan. 27, 1820, when members of a Russian expedition sighted land in what is now known as the Fimbul Ice Shelf on the continent's east side.

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been in orbit around Mars for almost 14 years. It carries a variety of instruments with it, including the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument. That instrument has collected thousands of images of Mars.
CRISM's main purpose is to created detailed maps of the surface mineralogy of Mars.

Volcanic activity is always accompanied by the transfer of heat from the Earth’s crust to the atmosphere. This heat can be measured from space and its measurement is a very useful tool for detecting volcanic activity on a global scale. MIROVA (Middle Infrared Observation of Volcanic Activity) is an automatic volcano hot spot detection system, based on the analysis of MODIS data (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer).

A University of Dayton geologist has been selected to work with NASA to study how climate change is impacting glaciers.
Scientists are working on a new type of data during the 18-month project using Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR), an imaging tool that can penetrate through clouds and thick snow, which will allow them to detect and understand how climate change is affecting glaciers.

Four hundred years ago, the Pilgrims sailed to New England and encountered Native Americans. The historical narrative from that point tells of Native Americans clearing forests with fire for thousands of years before Europeans arrived in America.
Conservation efforts have widely sought to maintain natural landscapes by mimicking Native American activities with controlled burns for conservation and ecological purposes. However, the importance of burning, long assumed, has never been fully evaluated by ecological and archaeological studies.

It takes a lot of energy to collect, clean and dispose of contaminated water. Some contaminants, like arsenic, occur in low concentrations, calling for even more energy-intensive selective removal processes.
In a new paper, researchers address this water-energy relationship by introducing a device that can purify and remediate arsenic-contaminated water in a single step.

A remarkable new species of meat-eating dinosaur has been unveiled at the Natural History Museum of Utah. Paleontologists unearthed the first specimen in early 1990s in Dinosaur National Monument in northeastern Utah. The huge carnivore inhabited the flood plains of western North America during the Late Jurassic Period, between 157-152 million years ago, making it the geologically oldest species of Allosaurus, predating the more well-known state fossil of Utah, Allosaurus fragilis.
