CEUs available — AGI/AIPG Geoscience Online Learning Initiative (GOLI)
AIPG and American Geosciences Institute
GOLI on-demand online courses provide learners with the flexibility to self-pace their progress, since on-demand courses do not have a set schedule like traditional academic semester-based courses. Brought to you via the OpenedX Learning Management System (LMS), learners can browse course descriptions, enroll in specific courses, access content, and complete any course completely free of charge. All learners who complete online courses offered through the GOLI platform with a passing grade of 70% or higher are eligible to purchase Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for a nominal charge.

2022 Geological Society of Nevada Symposium
AIPG
The Geological Society of Nevada will host its eighth symposium May 2-5, 2022, in the scenic Reno/Lake Tahoe region of northern Nevada. Symposia are held every five years and draw an international audience from the minerals industry, government and universities. GSN symposia are the preeminent regional venue combining geology and exploration in the U.S. The 2022 theme, Vision for Discovery, emphasizes the goal of science to explore and make new discoveries in the Basin and Range province.

AGI invites applications for new scholarship for advancing diversity in the geoscience profession
AIPG
The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) is pleased to announce its new Scholarship for Advancing Diversity in the Geoscience Profession. The scholarship is a one-time $5,000 award supporting geoscience graduate studies by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who self-identifies as a member of an underrepresented minority (Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color) and is within two semesters of completing a recognized geoscience program.

Organic biomorphs may be better preserved than microorganisms in early Earth sediments
GeoScienceWorld
The Precambrian rock record contains numerous examples of microscopic organic filaments and spheres, commonly interpreted as fossil microorganisms. Microfossils are among the oldest traces of life on Earth, making their correct identification crucial to our understanding of early evolution. Yet, spherical and filamentous microscopic objects composed of organic carbon and sulfur can form in the abiogenic reaction of sulfide with organic compounds.

Geologists produce new timeline of Earth's Paleozoic climate changes
MIT News
The temperature of a planet is linked with the diversity of life that it can support. MIT geologists have now reconstructed a timeline of the Earth's temperature during the early Paleozoic era, between 510 and 440 million years ago — a pivotal period when animals became abundant in a previously microbe-dominated world.
In a study appearing today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers chart dips and peaks in the global temperature during the early Paleozoic.

Episodic exhumation of the Appalachian orogen in the Catskill Mountains (New York State, USA)
GeoScienceWorld
Increasing evidence indicates the eastern North American passive margin has not remained tectonically quiescent since Jurassic continental breakup. The identification, timing, resolution, and significance of post-orogenic exhumation, notably an enigmatic Miocene event, are debated. We add insight by constraining the episodic cooling and exhumation history of the Catskill Mountains (New York, USA) utilizing apatite fission-track thermochronology and apatite (U-Th)/He data from a ~1 km vertical profile.

Kilauea volcano (Hawai'i): Cracks divide active and inactive portions of lava lake
Volcano Discovery
The effusive eruption of the volcano continues and has remained essentially unchanged at moderate levels.
The western fissure continues to supply the lava into the growing Halema'uma'u lava lake.
According to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) a north-south trending line of surficial cracks divides the boundary between the western active portion and eastern stagnant portion of the Halema'uma'u lava lake. Lake depth measurements from 28 January on both sides of the cracks indicate that the eastern portion of the lava lake is 4 m (13 ft) lower than the western portion of the lava lake.

Now and then: Iceland's vanishing glaciers
BBC
Iceland's Skaftafellsjokull is a spur from the nation's Vatnajokull ice cap, which is Europe's largest glacier.
In 1989, photographer Colin Baxter visited the glacier during a family holiday and took a picture of the frozen landscape.
Colin's son, Dr Kieran Baxter, returned to the exact location 30 years later.
