The AIPG National Office is closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak. At this time, AIPG staff have canceled travel until May 1. In addition, the AIPG National Office Staff have gone to a 85% telework schedule. The AIPG Staff WILL BE AVAILABLE to take your calls, answer your questions and provide the excellent services that our members have come to expect. We are taking every action to insure that member data will not be compromised as we work from home. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at aipg@aipg.org.

This data brief examines the changes in the spot price of crude oil per barrel (BBL) in U.S. dollars and euros from 2018 through March 2020. This period covers the market contraction in late 2018-early 2019 and the beginning of the economic downturn from the COVID-19 pandemic and the oil price war...

The world's most powerful earthquakes strike at subduction zones, areas where enormous amounts of stress build up as one tectonic plate dives beneath another. When suddenly released, this stress can cause devastating "megaquakes" like the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku event, which killed nearly 16,000 people and crippled Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Digital rock physics combines microtomographic imaging with advanced numerical simulations of effective material properties. It is used to complement laboratory investigations with the aim to gain a deeper understanding of relevant physical processes related to transport and effective mechanical properties. We apply digital rock physics to reticulite, a natural mineral with a strong analogy to synthetic open-cell foams.

Researchers have found evidence of rainforests near the South Pole 90 million years ago, suggesting the climate was exceptionally warm at the time. A team from the UK and Germany discovered forest soil from the Cretaceous period within 900 km of the South Pole. Their analysis of the preserved roots, pollen and spores shows that the world at that time was a lot warmer than previously thought.

Energy circulation in geospace lies at the heart of space weather research. In the inner magnetosphere, the steep plasmapause boundary separates the cold dense plasmasphere, which corotates with the planet, from the hot ring current/plasma sheet outside. Theoretical studies suggested that plasmapause surface waves related to the sharp inhomogeneity exist and act as a source of geomagnetic pulsations, but direct evidence of the waves and their role in magnetospheric dynamics have not yet been detected.
