Series: AGI/AIPG Geoscience Online Learning Webinar
CEUs: 0.10
Professionalism refers to the attitudes and behaviors that impact interpersonal relations in the workplace, the foundations of which are based on the concepts of power, trust, respect, responsibility, justice, and fairness. The nature of the Geosciences (e.g., working with an incomplete record, temporal and spatial scales beyond human perception, uncertainty in natural systems), and the geoscience work environment (e.g., in the field, laboratory, with extensive travel) presents many situations where ethical dilemmas may arise. Recent high-visibility transgressions have brought special attention to sexual harassment and bullying in the workplace. Everyone has a right to a safe, inclusive, supportive, and productive work environment and a high bar must be set for both students and faculty to ascribe to the highest professional standards of the discipline. This webinar will introduce topics that contribute to workplace "climate" (e.g., microaggressions, implicit bias, empowering bystanders), and will provide suggestions for personal and institutional actions that can be taken to ensure that everyone can succeed in your department.

September 8-11, 2018 - Colorado Springs, Colorado
Colorado Springs Marriott, 5580 Tech Center Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80919 - (719) 260-1800
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!

RFG 2018
Exploration is fundamental to the supply of resources, whether we need to find water, minerals or energy. This conference offers an array of opportunities for participants to explore, seek new ideas or connections with people, acquire cutting-edge skills through short courses or field trips, or find inspiration in other aspects of geoscience. Pushing boundaries in all these ways will help us reach our collective goals of sustainability and build a prosperous future that is based on responsible resource development.
The plenary and keynote sessions will provide fertile ground for new ideas; everything from history of the earth, to how minerals and energy are linked, and a dialogue on ownership of resources. The diverse group of big thinkers and experts will provoke, inspire and challenge us to view resources in new ways.
- What does responsible mining look like?
- Who owns resources?
- What is the future of energy?
- What are the innovations and frontiers?
All these and more will inform the discussion at the Resources for Future Generations 2018 conference. The extensive program includes sessions and events organized by our partners, Geological Association of Canada (GAC), Mineralogical Association of Canada (MAC) and Association of Applied Geochemists (AAG), representing their annual meetings for 2018, a collaboration that adds depth to the conference breadth. Join us, along with our many technical partners, for an extraordinary event.

In Geoscience Currents #125, guest contributors Blair Schneider, Mary Anne Holmes and Erika Marin-Spiotta present follow-up results from a 2016 workshop on sexual harassment and assault in the sciences, convened by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Participants agreed that professional societies must address the systemic, structural problems that enable harassment in the sciences and that societies should implement transparent and accessible codes of conduct and/or ethics policies. To determine the impact of these efforts on AGI member society codes, we visited each member website. In 2016, 17 AGI member societies out of 50 previously surveyed had publicly available codes. Only two specifically addressed sexual harassment. As of January 2018, 24 AGI member societies have a code. Of these, 12 had a direct link on the front page compared to seven in 2016. Eight of the codes today address harassment. Five have clear disciplinary actions for sexual harassment violations.

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics
Accurate estimates of infiltration and groundwater recharge are critical for many hydrologic, agricultural and environmental applications. Anticipated climate change in many regions of the world, especially in tropical areas, is expected to increase the frequency of high-intensity, short-duration precipitation events, which in turn will affect the groundwater recharge rate. Estimates of recharge are often obtained using monthly or even annually averaged meteorological time series data. In this study we employed the HYDRUS-1D software package to assess the sensitivity of groundwater recharge calculations to using meteorological time series of different temporal resolutions (i.e., hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly averaged precipitation and potential evaporation rates).

Hydrologic modeling of semi-arid watersheds is imperative for the development of appropriate water and soil conservation plans. In the current study, the efficiency of Kinematic Runoff and Erosion model-version 2 (K2) model was used to evaluate water discharge and sediment load simulation of Bar watershed, located in the north-eastern part of Iran. The K2 model relies on the kinematic wave approach to route surface flow. The drainage network and planes are discretized to represent the watershed. In order to evaluate the model, 3 and 2 reported rainfall incidents in various dates were selected for K2 calibration and validation, respectively.

The metamorphic core of the Himalaya is composed of Indian cratonic rocks with two distinct crustal affinities that are defined by radiogenic isotopic geochemistry and detrital zircon age spectra. One is derived predominantly from the Paleoproterozoic and Archean rocks of the Indian cratonic interior and is either represented as metamorphosed sedimentary rocks of the Lesser Himalayan Sequence (LHS) or as slices of the distal cratonic margin. The other is the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS) whose provenance is less clear and has an enigmatic affinity.

Atmosphere
A new approach for wind resource assessment in the Southern Plains of the U.S. is proposed here. This new approach establishes the baseline frequency of occurrence of large-scale atmospheric circulations (weather regimes) by cluster analysis, using 38-yr NCEP-NCAR reanalysis daily data from 1979–2016. These baseline frequency values can help quantify the departure of wind resource from the long-term mean for a given month.

Ore forming processes involve the redistribution of heat, mass and momentum by a wide range of processes operating at different time and length scales. The fastest process at any given length scale tends to be the dominant control. Applying this principle to the array of physical processes that operate within magma flow pathways leads to some key insights into the origins of magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide ore deposits.

The tectono-magmatic relationships along obliquely convergent plate boundaries, where strain partitioning promotes strike-slip structures along the volcanic arc, are poorly known. Here it is unclear if and, in case, how the strike-slip structures control volcanic processes, distribution and size. To better define the possible tectono-magmatic relationships along strike-slip arcs, we merge available information on the case study of Sumatra (Indonesia) with field structural data.

The microwave assisted leaching of the vanadium bearing-high carbonaceous shale process was investigated using surface response methodology (RSM) based on Box–Behnken design (BBD). The effect of important factors such as CaF2 usage, H2SO4 concentration, leaching time and microwave power, as well as the interactive coefficients, the signification of the model and factors were analyzed. With the condition of 9.8 wt percent CaF2, 23.0 vol percent H2SO4, 170.6 min and 350 W, the actual values of vanadium (V) leaching efficiency in microwave heating (MH) and conventional heating (CH) were 85.43 percent and 79.64 percent, which agreed well with the predicted values.
