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.

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!

Reconstructing sea-level rises in the Red Sea
EurekAlert!
A study of the relative contributions of surface winds and atmospheric pressure on sea-level rises in the Red Sea has shown that wind variations over the southern part of the sea are the main drivers of basin-wide sea-level extremes, uniformly driving sea levels up and down depending on wind direction.

Effects of ancient carbon releases suggest possible scenarios for future climate
ScienceDaily
A massive release of greenhouse gases, likely triggered by volcanic activity, caused a period of extreme global warming known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) about 56 million years ago. A new study now confirms that the PETM was preceded by a smaller episode of warming and ocean acidification caused by a shorter burst of carbon emissions.

New model predicts how geographic features influence evolutionary outcomes
EurekAlert!
Biologists have developed a new method to measure the extent to which regional geographic features — including barriers between regions, like mountains or water — affect local rates of speciation, extinction and dispersal for species. As a test case, they successfully used their model to delineate the movement and diversification of neotropical anole lizards.
