Online registration is available now!
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.
Submit an abstract for presentation at the conference. Call for abstracts available now!

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.

Geoscience Frontiers
Long-term geological processes are usually described with curves reflecting continuous changes in the characteristic parameters through the geological history, and such curves can be employed directly for recognition of episodic (relatively long-term) events linked to these changes. The episodic events can be classified into several categories according to their scale (ordinary and anomalous events), "shape" (positive, negative and neutral events), and relation to long-term trend change (successive, interruptive, facilitative, stabilizing, transformative, increasing and decreasing).

Geosciences
This study uses the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), the indirect tensile strength (ITS) and the point load tests (PLT) to determine the strength and deformation behavior of previously deformed and altered tonalite and anorthosite. In general, veined samples show higher strength because the vein material has both cohesive and adhesive properties while fractures have no cohesion, only frictional resistance. This implies that each rock category has to be treated independently and absolute strength predictions are inaccurate.

Minerals
In the southern U.S. states, expansive soils are frequently encountered, presenting an important hazard in geotechnical engineering. This research relies on mineralogical and geochemical clues to explain the swelling behavior of smectite-rich, high-plasticity soils, documented in a series of geomechanical swelling tests that were performed on the soils stabilized with the metakaolin (MKG) and fly ash (FAG) based geopolymers.

Geosciences
Kinematic source inversions of past earthquakes in the magnitude range of 6–8 are used to simulate 60 scenario earthquakes on the San Andreas fault. The unilateral rupture scenario earthquakes are hypothetically located at six locations spread out uniformly along the southern section of the fault, each associated with two hypocenters and rupture directions.

Solid Earth
Three-dimensional geological structural modeling aims to determine geological information in a 3-D space using structural data (foliations and interfaces) and topological rules as inputs. This is necessary in any project in which the properties of the subsurface matters; they express our understanding of geometries in depth. For that reason, 3-D geological models have a wide range of practical applications including but not restricted to civil engineering, the oil and gas industry, the mining industry and water management. These models, however, are fraught with uncertainties.
