AIPG is currently accepting abstracts for oral presentations and poster presentations for the 55th American Institute of Professional Geologists National Conference that will be held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from Sept. 8-11. General topics include, but are not limited to, professional practice, mining, petroleum, water and environmental remediation. The national conference provides opportunities to present and learn from experts in various geology and geoscience fields, with networking opportunities throughout the conference.
To have your abstract considered for a presentation or poster, please go submit an abstract online by May 1. Technical presentations will be scheduled on Monday, Sept. 10, and Tuesday, Sept. 11. Authors who wish to publish a paper in AIPG's The Professional Geologist (TPG) can contact AIPG for additional information at aipg@aipg.org.

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.
Submit an abstract for presentation at the conference. Call for abstracts available now!

This technique provides the contaminant distribution on the 6 in. to 3 ft scale, as desired. It's obtained by diffusion of the dissolved phase into an activated carbon felt strip pressed against the wall by a flexible liner in a sealed borehole.

American Geosciences Institute
The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) announced the publication of its first Geoscience Policy Annual Review, an in-depth summary of the major developments in federal geoscience policy during 2017.
Throughout the year, geoscience issues were the focus of significant action by President Donald Trump and the 115th Congress. The Geoscience Policy Annual Review provides a nonpartisan synthesis of legislative, budgetary and administrative actions across geoscience topics.
"2017 was an eventful year in federal geoscience policymaking. Energy and mineral resources, climate change, natural hazards and research funding were all the subject of significant debate and action," said Maeve Boland, AGI's Director of Geoscience Policy. "This review summarizes the major developments in geoscience policy during 2017 and examines the implications for our science moving forward."

Annual Review compiled and written by: Anna Normand, Geoscience Policy Associate; Michelle Barreto, Geoscience Policy Associate; and Maeve Boland, Geoscience Policy Director. Graphic design by Brenna Tobler.

Days after fatal debris flows devastated Southern California's Montecito community, a team of U.S. Geological Survey geologists joined county, state and federal partners to survey and evaluate the aftermath.

Crystals formed prior to a volcanic event can provide evidence of processes leading to and timing of eruptions. Clinopyroxene is common in basaltic to intermediate volcanoes; however, its ability as a recorder of pre-eruptive histories has remained comparatively underexplored. Here we show that novel high-resolution trace element images of clinopyroxene track eruption triggers and timescales at Mount Etna, in Sicily, Italy.

Geosciences
The physical and chemical structure and the spatial evolution of volcanic plumes are of great interest since they influence the Earth's atmospheric composition and the climate. Equally important is the monitoring of the abundance and emission patterns of volcanic gases, which gives insight into processes in the Earth's interior that are difficult to access otherwise. Here, we review spectroscopic approaches (from ultra-violet to thermal infra-red) to determine multi-species emissions and to quantify gas fluxes.

Minerals
Heap leaching accounts for a fifth of global copper production, sourced primarily from porphyry ores, yet metal recoveries are often not optimal. Gangue, and its interaction with acid, plays an important role in such processes. Thus, a proper understanding of gangue minerals present in the ore, their textural relationships relative to particle size distribution, reactivity with acid under different conditions, and relationship to lithotypes and geological alteration in the orebody, is necessary to predict ore behaviour in the comminution, agglomeration, curing and heap leach unit operations.

Curtin University via Phys.org
Curtin University researchers have discovered rocks in northern Queensland that bear striking similarities to those found in North America, suggesting that part of northern Australia was actually part of North America 1.7 billion years ago. The research paper in Geology, published by the Geological Society of America, concluded that the rocks found in Georgetown, 412 kilometers west of Cairns, have signatures that are unknown in Australia and instead have a surprising resemblance to rocks found in Canada today.

For the monitoring of large landslides, total stations equipped with an Electronic Distance Meter (EDM) are widely used. To obtain the atmospheric parameters, required along the line of sight of every measure, the data collected by a weather station close to the instrument are usually adopted.

Deep geological repositories for nuclear wastes consist of both engineered and natural geologic barriers to isolate the radioactive material from the human environment. Inappropriate repositories of nuclear waste would cause severe contamination to nearby aquifers. In this complex environment, mass transport of radioactive contaminants displays anomalous behaviors and often produces power-law tails in breakthrough curves due to spatial heterogeneities in fractured rocks, velocity dispersion, adsorption and decay of contaminants, which requires more sophisticated models beyond the typical advection-dispersion equation.

University of Leicester via ScienceDaily
Researchers from the University of Leicester, working with an international team of geologists, have discovered an enigmatic fossil of a 450 million year-old creature resembling a tiny ice-cream cone. Fossils of the creature, in which the "body" resembles a scoop of ice cream atop the cone, was located in the Appalachian Mountains, near Hummelstown in Pennsylvania from the Ordovician period.
