With many geoscience programs now needing to quickly shift to online teaching, the American Geosciences Institute (AGI) wants to make sure all faculty are aware of the 29 modules in the free-to-take Geoscience Online Learning Initiative (GOLI) platform, which is a joint effort of AGI, AIPG, SEPM, and ASBOG. GOLI courses range in duration from 1 to 10 hours in length, addressing a range of geoscience topics and skills from writing in the geosciences to geoethics to advanced environmental geochemistry, among others. These modules are ready to go and available for your students right now.
GOLI courses are always free-to-take. If a student wishes to earn continuing education credits for successfully completing the course and apply them towards licensing or other professional needs, they have the option to pay a nominal fee. Please visit https://goli.americangeosciences.org for more information about the program in general

American Geosciences Institute
The American Geosciences Institute is offering a free 1-hour webinar, Mapping Displacement and Subsidence with Time-series Radar, will be held on April 15 at 1 p.m. EDT.
In this webinar, experts from Hexagon and the Arizona Department of Water Resources will discuss the use of time-series displacement maps with a high point density for monitoring and mitigating subsidence due to subsurface extraction of resources such as water or hydrocarbons.

With so many people forced to work remotely from campus or work, the American Geosciences Institute (AGI) is rolling out a few efforts to help with this new, and hopefully temporary, reality.
Through March 31, 2020, we have reduced the price of the digital edition of AGI's best selling "The Geoscience Handbook" by more than 50% to less than $20.

A new study has shown evidence of undetected concentrations and flows of dissolved organic matter entering Arctic coastal waters coming from groundwater flows on top of frozen permafrost. This water moves from land to sea unseen, but researchers now believe it carries significant concentrations of carbon and other nutrients to Arctic coastal food webs.

Formation of the first continents belongs to fundamental questions regarding the evolution of the Earth. Though the growth of early crust is often debated, role of the mantle lithosphere that represents the biggest volume of continents is often overlooked, particularly in geologic interpretations of tectonic processes. This is mainly due to difficulties in its imaging and uncertainty in its rheology.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake shook Salt Lake City on the morning of March 18, followed by swarms of aftershocks, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.
The 6-mile deep quake hit near Magna, just west of Salt Lake City, at 6:09 a.m. Pacific time, according to the USGS. Dozens of people from as far away as Idaho and California reported feeling the tremor to the agency.
At least 10 aftershocks, reaching up to 3.9 magnitude, followed in the minutes after the earthquake, the USGS reported.

Tropical forest ecosystems are an important part of the global carbon cycle as they take up and store large amounts of CO2. It is, however, uncertain how much this ability differs between forests with high versus low species richness. New IIASA research sheds light on this question, aiming to enhance predictions of tropical ecosystem strength as global carbon sinks.

A topic of considerable interest to paleontologists is how dinosaur-dominated ecosystems were structured, how dinosaurs and co-occurring animals were distributed across the landscape, how they interacted with one another, and how these systems compared to ecosystems today.

In the Northeastern United States, nutrient pollution is receiving increasing attention, and particularly phosphorus (P), in response to the recent increasing frequency of toxic blue-green algal blooms. This study assesses how land use, seasonal weather patterns, and climate extremes interact to control runoff and nutrient loading from tributaries into Owasco Lake. In 2016, the region experienced a prolonged drought, which resulted in unusual and extreme low flows between August and October. The drought was ended by an intense rain event at the end of October.
