COVID-19 work and research activities and restrictions: Non-academic geoscientists
AIPG
This data brief provides insights about work and research activities of non-academic geoscientists during the COVID-19 pandemic. We examine the types of work and research activities being conducted by this study cohort, COVID-related restrictions to facilities, meetings and travel, and to health and safety protocols, and delve into the feedback from non-academic geoscientists regarding the benefits and challenges with their work and research situation during the pandemic.

April 29th - 2020 VOLUNTARY VOLATILIZATION TO INDOOR AIR PATHWAY SCREENING LEVELS
In September 2020, EGLE replaced the rescinded Appendix D.1 of the 2013 Guidance Document for the Vapor Intrusion Pathway – Volatilization to Indoor Air Pathway (VIAP) Screening Levels with Residential and Nonresidential VIAP Screening Level Tables. The VIAP screening levels are provided as a voluntary tool that may be used to determine that site conditions do not present a risk and allow a quick regulatory closure or that site conditions warrant a more site-specific evaluation, at common residential and nonresidential sites. This webinar will cover the purpose behind the VIAP screening levels, the basic exposure assumptions used in their development, what documentation is needed for their voluntary use, and their use.
Each webinar qualifies for 1 CEH/PDH.

Digging deep — NIU geology professor is uncovering the secrets of water quality in prairie restorations
NIU Today
When NIU Biology Professor Holly Jones was awarded a $703,000 National Science Foundation Grant to study prairie restoration on a half-acre site north of the NIU Convocation Center, she and her colleague Melissa Lenczewski (a professor of geology) immediately saw an opportunity for collaboration.
"We immediately asked, 'Has anybody ever looked at the groundwater when people do prairie restoration projects?'" Lenczewski says.

First solid clues uncovered to start of earth's supercontinent cycle
SciTechDaily
Curtin University research has uncovered the first solid clues about the very beginning of the supercontinent cycle of Earth, finding it was kick-started two billion years ago.
Detailed in a paper published in Geology, a team of researchers from Curtin's Earth Dynamics Research Group found that plate tectonics operated differently before two billion years ago, and the 600 million years supercontinent cycle likely only started during the second half of Earth's life.

Indonesian 'mountain of fire' erupts again
NPR
Indonesian officials are monitoring the country's most active volcano after it erupted again Saturday morning, launching hot ash clouds high into the air, and sending lava spewing down the side of the mountain.
Ash plumes shot more than 600 feet into the air as volcanic debris spilled down the slopes of Mount Merapi in Yogyakarta on the densely populated Indonesian island of Java, about 250 miles east of Jakarta.

Cratons, why are you still here?
Eos.org
Most of the rock we see around us, from the ocean floor to the tallest mountains of the Himalayas, is no more than a few hundred million years old. The oldest oceanic rock is about 230 million years old, for example, and little continental rock is more than a couple of billion years old. However, we know that Earth is much older, in part because we know that rocky relics of much older eras survive within the interiors of today's continents.

Why you need A-level chemistry to study geology
Royal Society of Chemistry
Share this article and accompanying worksheet with your students to show them how their current studies are relevant to real-world careers.
A sound knowledge of chemistry is key to studying geology and earth science, and geochemistry itself is a major branch of geology and forms a part of all degrees accredited by the Geological Society of London. Geology has far-reaching applications, from climate change and oceans to the cosmos and archaeology.

Weird earthquake reveals hidden mechanism
Penn State News
The wrong type of earthquake in an area where there should not have been an earthquake led researchers to uncover the cause for this unexpected strike-slip earthquake — where two pieces of crust slide past each other on a fault — in places where subduction zone earthquakes — one geologic plate slipping beneath another — are common.
