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!

AIPG
SME Arizona Conference organizes a field trip annually, and this year they have kindly invited AIPG to join them. There is no charge for the field trip, because the conference organizers use part of the proceeds of the annual December SME Arizona conference to pay for the buses, and the mine site acts as host for the lunch. Please mark your calendar for Saturday, April 14, for this year's trip, which will be a tour of the Grupo Mexico Buenavista del Cobre operations located in Cananea, Sonora.
The day will start early, with several full-size tour buses leaving from Tucson at 6:30 am at a central Tucson location (details will be provided closer to the date). There will be some general presentations and then opportunities to select a part of the mine operations to visit in smaller groups. It's a large operation, since it is not feasible to see all of the operations during a one-day visit. Following the excursion to the area of your choice, the mine will host a lunch. Buses will arrive back in Tucson about 4:30 p.m.
Dinner after the Field Trip
AIPG has also organized a dinner that evening at a fabulous Mexican restaurant located in St. Philip's Plaza. We will gather at 7 p.m. at Reforma Cocina Cantina (4340 N Campbell Avenue, Tucson AZ, 85718). We have reserved an outdoor patio for our group. Food and drinks are available to be ordered off the menu. There will be an informal section business meeting as part of the get-together. The timing between the field trip return and the dinner event is tight, but we aren't being held to a strict schedule, so participants shouldn't worry about late arrival to the restaurant.
Field Trip Registration
A formal invitation with registration instructions for the field trip will be emailed separately. SME hopes to have the registration information ready prior to the end of February. AIPG will email it out as soon as it is ready. AIPG members will need to respond to SME regarding registration for the field trip, whereas a separate registration for the dinner will be made to AIPG.
Dinner Registration
Persons who want to attend the dinner on April 14 should email Dawn Garcia at dawnhgarcia@q.com or call 520-471-9387. Please include your name, email address and phone number, plus the number in your party. Registrants are not required to attend both the field trip and the dinner.
Lodging in Tucson
For out-of-town members, there is a hotel located in St. Philip's Plaza (Homewood Suites by Hilton). It is next to the restaurant where we'll have the evening event. Rooms are about $140 per night. AIPG has not reserved any hotel rooms for this event. Anyone wanting a hotel room should make their own arrangements. Homewood Suites by Hilton, 4250 N Campbell Avenue, 520-577-0007.

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.

As part of the United Nations' Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, an International Monitoring System was built to detect any nuclear explosion on Earth — underground, underwater or in the atmosphere. Within that system is a network to detect atmospheric infrasound — sound waves with frequencies below the lower limit of human audibility — which scientists can also use to track volcanic eruptions in remote locations. A new case study by an international team of scientists examined data from the 2015 eruption of the Calbuco volcano in the Los Lagos Region of Chile.

Geosciences
Developing quantitative and objective approaches to integrate multibeam echosounder (MBES) data with ground observations for predictive modelling is essential for ensuring repeatability and providing confidence measures for benthic habitat mapping. The scale of predictors within predictive models directly influences habitat distribution maps, therefore matching the scale of predictors to the scale of environmental drivers is key to improving model accuracy. This study uses a multi-scalar and hierarchical classification approach to improve the accuracy of benthic habitat maps.

Geoscience Frontiers
In the Earth's upper crust, where aqueous fluids can circulate freely, most mineral transformations are controlled by the coupling between the dissolution of a mineral that releases chemical species into the fluid and precipitation of new minerals that contain some of the released species in their crystal structure, the coupled process being driven by a reduction of the total free-energy of the system. Time-lapse nanoscale imaging using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) can monitor the whole coupled process under in situ conditions and allow identifying the time scales involved and the controlling parameters.

Scientific Reports
Understanding the effects of climatic variability on sediment dynamics is hindered by limited ability of current models to simulate long-term evolution of sediment transfer from source to sink and associated morphological changes. We present a new approach based on a reduced-complexity model, which computes over geological time: sediment transport from landmasses to coasts, reworking of marine sediments by longshore currents, and development of coral reef systems.

Global seismic discontinuities near 410 and 660 km depth in Earth's mantle are expressions of solid-state phase transitions. These transitions modulate thermal and material fluxes across the mantle and variations in their depth are often attributed to temperature anomalies. Here we use novel seismic array analysis of SS waves reflecting off the 410 and 660 below the Hawaiian hotspot.

Agricultural soils in Canada have been observed to emit a large pulse of nitrous oxide (N2O) gas during the spring thaw, representing a large percentage of the annual emissions. We report on three years of spring thaw N2O flux measurements taken at three Alberta agricultural sites: a crop production site, cattle winter-feeding site and a cattle winter-grazing site.
