Geoscience Currents
Several geoscience occupations, primarily engineering and managerial positions, are reported more rapidly than all geoscience occupations. For these early reporting geoscience occupations, total employment was 115,784 for March 2020, which is a 20% increase over March 2019, but a 7% decline since the start of 2020.
Geoscience employment shows strong seasonality cycles. These reported numbers are not seasonally adjusted and the non-adjusted data for early reporting occupations do not show statistically significant predictive power for all geoscience or solid-earth geoscience employment. In the next report, AGI expects to be able to report these trends accommodating for seasonality to give a better sense of the structural employment trend in the geosciences.

American Geosciences Institute
In this webinar, current and former federal agency fellows will provide insight into federal grant proposal opportunities available for geoscience students pursuing careers within academia. Speakers will discuss the nuances of each of their individual programs as well as provide some advice on how to submit successful applications. This webinar will be broadcast with closed captioning in English, Arabic, Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Japanese and Spanish. For more information, click here or contact Leila Gonzales at .
Geological Society of America
This webinar will provide an overview of geology licensure qualification requirements in the United States. Having a license to practice geology is a requirement in the majority of U.S. states, Canada and other countries. Learn about professional licensing requirements and how becoming licensed can influence your career opportunities and career success.

An enduring question in geology is when Earth's tectonic plates began pushing and pulling in a process that helped the planet evolve and shaped its continents into the ones that exist today. Some researchers theorize it happened around four billion years ago, while others think it was closer to one billion. A research team led by Harvard researchers looked for clues in ancient rocks (older than 3 billion years) from Australia and South Africa, and found that these plates were moving at least 3.2 billion years ago on the early Earth.

Hydraulic fracturing is one of the most important techniques for enhancing oil/gas production. The permeability-based hydraulic fracture (PHF) model, which is based on the smeared-crack method and considers the interaction between the pore pressure and solid phase, is adopted in the present study for a fully-coupled simulation of the hydraulic fracture in a heterogeneous rock formation.

A new study published in Science Advances indicates that geological heterogeneity may be at the bottom of at least some slow-slip events. This study focused on the Hikurangi subduction zone off of the coast of New Zealand’s North Island, where the Pacific tectonic plate slides under the Australian plate. The Hikurangi subduction zone is one of the shallowest sites where researchers have observed slow-slip events

Biogeosciences
Lakes and reservoirs contribute to regional carbon budgets via significant emissions of climate forcing trace gases. Here, for improved modelling, we use eigjt years of floating chamber measurements from three small, shallow subarctic lakes to separate the contribution of physical and biogeochemical processes to the turbulence-driven, diffusion-limited flux of methane (CH4) on daily to multi-year timescales.

A team of researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey, the Lunar and Planetary Institute and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology has released a seamless, globally consistent, 1:5,000,000-scale geologic map of the moon. The new digital map, called the "Unified Geologic Map of the Moon," will serve as the definitive blueprint of the moon's surface geology for future human missions and will be invaluable for the international scientific community, educators and the public-at-large.
