AIPG Mentoring Program
AIPG
AIPG believes mentoring is integral to encouraging geoscientists throughout their careers. This can include discussions on many different topics, including but not limited to:
- specific geoscience topics or questions
- education and experience required for specific career tracks
- any geoscience topic of interest
- geoscience employment search
- selecting the best-suited geoscience career track
- work abroad experiences in geosciences
AIPG is setting up this mentor site to encourage one-on-one AIPG-member discussions. We encourage the mentor and mentee to include others in their discussions and research as needed. A mentor may or may not have applicable experience or knowledge related to a mentee's area of interest, but the mentor will help find information and/or an alternate mentor.
AIPG Members interested in becoming a Mentor can submit the online Mentor form.

Request for Geologists in Action Videos
AIPG
AIPG has started our very own YouTube Channel! Our first series of YouTube videos will focus on "Geologists in Action." Here's where you come in. We want you to make a short (1-5 minute) video of yourself being a geologist. Whether that's in the field, the lab, the office, or some other place, we want AIPG members to be the stars of the show. Be sure to introduce yourself (I'm John Doe, a Certified Professional Geologist with AIPG) and to give a short description of what it is you’re doing. You could be removing leaky storage tanks, making a geologic map, analyzing samples in the lab, or talking with clients. We want to share videos of you doing what you do!
Why? Because we know that the general public isn't aware of what we geologists really do. We think this effort can help to change that. And you can be at the center of that action!
You can upload your short videos directly to us online. If your video is chosen for our channel, we'll let you know, and we will be sure to let you know when your video will premiere.

2022 Call for Abstracts
AIPG
AIPG 2022 National Conference
Call for Abstracts
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.
The ever-increasing number of applications of rare earth elements has created a greater demand on extraction and several of these elements will be needed in ever greater quantities to assist in the transition to a reduced carbon emission future. Geologists will be needed to identify, quantify, and yes, help with extraction of these mineral deposits.
A reliable source of clean freshwater is a basic necessity for life, and the onset of climate change is impacting these resources. Changing climate patterns mean that widespread areas may become stricken with drought. This will mean that significant depletion of groundwater aquifers and surface water reservoirs will occur in these areas as withdrawals exceed natural replenishment. This is already affecting agricultural practices and driving migration of human populations to areas where this precious resource may be found, resulting in conflict and/or political unrest. In addition, anthropogenic activities have contaminated some water resources and have made these resources locally unusable or require expensive treatment.
The national conference provides opportunities to present and learn from experts in various geology and geoscience fields, with networking opportunities throughout the conference. Earn CEUs too!

.AIPG SECTION NEWS
A Tectonic Reconstruction of SW North America and Implications for Minerals Exploration
AIPG
The North American Craton began forming in the Archean (2.4+Bya) and a lot has happened since then. Tectonic reconstructions provide important context to Economic Geologists. The North American Craton contains numerous metallogenic terranes and being able to interpret mineralization in the proper context is important.
We will step through the development of Western North America and discuss several Mines from the different metallogenic terranes. Arizona Projects will be the focus of this talk; Early Proterozoic through Tertiary Rocks are exposed in The Copper State.
Earn 0.1 CEU / 1 PDH for attending! Certificates will be emailed after the webinar.
Cost: Members - $10, Non-Members - $25, Student Members - $0
All proceeds go to the TX Section Scholarship Program.

Scientists detect rejuvenated uplift near South Sister volcano
USGS
Using satellite imagery and sophisticated GPS instruments, Cascades Volcano Observatory geophysicists have detected a subtle increase in the rate of uplift of the ground surface about 3 miles (5 km) west of South Sister volcano, Oregon. Episodes of increased uplift have been observed in this area before, and the volcano’s alert level and color code remain at NORMAL / GREEN.

How fault lines in a kitchen sink are changing what we know about geology
Science Daily
In a new paper recently published in the journal Geology, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst unveiled a physical model that yields an unprecedented, high-resolution look at the slip rates of faults, which determine the likelihood of earthquakes.
When most of us picture a fault line, we imagine a giant crack in the earth where two tectonic plates smash into each other.

Study: As tectonic plates pull apart, what drives the formation of rifts?
University of Buffalo
At the boundaries between tectonic plates, narrow rifts can form as Earth’s crust slowly pulls apart.
But how, exactly, does this rifting happen?
Does pressure from magma rising from belowground force the land apart? Or is a rift just a rip, created mainly by the pulling motion of tectonic plates that are drifting away from each other?

Mountain-sized rock hidden underneath Japan could be a magnet for megaquakes
Science Alert
A mountain-sized mass of igneous rock beneath the coast of southern Japan could be acting as a sort of magnet or lightning rod for huge earthquakes.
According to a new 3D visualization of the feature, known as the Kumano Pluton, the tectonic energy from megaquakes seems to be diverted to several points along its side.
