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.

New video shows movement of earth's tectonic plates over past billion years
Sci News
Plate tectonics is a unifying theory of modern geology, explicitly connecting the evolution and processes that bridge Earth’s mantle, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere.
Tectonic forces control the rates of uplift and erosion where continents collide or separate and modulate the flow of energy between oceans, lithosphere and mantle as continental configurations evolve.

Geologists discover strange creatures living deep beneath Antarctic ice shelf
UPI.com
Scientists have discovered a collection of strange sponge-like sea creatures living on a boulder under some 1,650 feet of Antarctic ice.
The unidentified lifeforms, detailed in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, were found by a team of geologists drilling through the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, which stretches across part of the Weddell Sea.

Photo captures rare 'smoke ring' from volcanic eruption in Guatemala
The Independent
A rare "smoke ring" has been captured blowing from Guatemala's Fuego volcano, an active stratovolcano 15 km west of the city of Antigua.
Matthew Watson, a professor of volcanoes and climate at the University of Bristol, shared a photo of the sighting on Twitter as part of a virtual "field trip" he is conducting online after having a real-life trip to Guatemala cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The colossal weight of cities is making them sink, even as sea levels are rising
ScienceAlert
Cities don't just have sea level rises to worry about — they're also slowly sinking under the weight of their own development, according to new research, which emphasises the importance of factoring subsidence into models of climate change risk. Geophysicist Tom Parsons, from the United States Geological Survey agency, looked at San Francisco as a case study of how large urban developments could be affecting and depressing the actual surface of the Earth.

A geologist's dream: A short journey to the center of the earth
SciTechDaily
Beneath Earth’s crust lies 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) of viscous mineral and rock known as the mantle. Famous and fanciful literature aside, no human is likely to visit the mantle or deep interior of Earth. But at Gros Morne National Park, people can step on fragments of the mantle without having to dig an inch.
On October 3, 2017, the Operational Land Imager on Landsat 8 acquired natural-color imagery of Gros Morne National Park.
