The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) and the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) are offering the next Geoscience Online Learning Initiative (GOLI) webinar titled, "Understanding Professional Geologist License Requirements: California 2019." The webinar will feature Laurie Racca, PG, from the California Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists.
This 90-minute webinar will focus on the qualification requirements to get a Professional Geologist (PG) license in California and upcoming changes that applicants should understand. It will also provide an overview of the California laws and regulations that govern the practice of geology. Knowledge of California's Geologist and Geophysicist Act along with the accompanying regulations is one of the responsibilities that is part of being a licensed professional.

Hosted by AIPG National and the AIPG Wisconsin Section. Registration is open. Program
Workshop attendees will learn the history, chemistry, sampling techniques and current treatment options of PFAS, as well as developing regulatory proposals throughout the country. More than 4,700 PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) exist in the world today. Many PFAS transform into highly persistent perfluorinated chemicals in the environment. Short-chain PFAS tend to be more water soluble and move more easily through soil to contaminate ground-water, surface water or drinking water.

Join the AIPG WI Section and the National Executive Committee on this field trip that will illustrate the geology of the PreCambrian Baraboo Range in southern Wisconsin. This area is well known to structural geology classes that travel there from throughout the Midwest to see the synclinal features of the area. Several stops will include structural elements of the range including steeply dipping layers in the quartzite formation, ripple marks, and boudinage and other deformation features. Adjacent geologic terrains will be discussed including the terminal moraine of the Pleistocene Wisconsin Glaciation, Cambrian sandstones of the "Driftless Area" and the Pleistocene Sauk Prairie.

In Geoscience Currents #138, we examine the trends of starting salaries of U.S. geoscience graduates between 2013 and 2018. With tightening hiring in the energy and engineering sector, salaries declined steadily from 2014 to 2017, but we saw a rebound in those salaries in 2018 with the strengthening of the labor market. Read this Currents to find out more about the recent history of starting salaries.

In Geoscience Currents #139, we examine where geoscience graduates in the United States are finding employment and if they need to leave the region of their university to secure a job. The regional dependencies are striking, both on where the jobs are, and who needs to go far afield for employment, both of which vary by degree level.

Energy Exposition
Attendees represent a wide range of services, including but not limited to, exploration, production, downstream and all phases of support to the industry. We have been privileged to have political attendees from the local community, city, county and state governments as well political luminaries such as former Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney. In 2014 we were fortunate to have Vice President Dick Cheney as our Keynote Speaker. His daughter Liz (now U.S. Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming) also honored us by speaking at a couple of our events.
The Energy Exposition has educated tens of thousands of people in Gillette, Wyoming; Billings, Montana; and just recently Loveland, Colorado, over the last 19 years on procedures, technology, safety, environmental practices and equipment used in the oil and gas industry. Our doors have always been open to industry and non-industry attendees. Most of our exhibitors are from the oil and gas industry. We also welcome our participants from the wind, solar and other energy companies that support the oil and gas industry.

Two years ago a team of scientists visited Costa Rica's subduction zone, where the ocean floor sinks beneath the continent and volcanoes tower above the surface. They wanted to find out if microbes can affect the cycle of carbon moving from Earth's surface into the deep interior. According to their new study, published in Nature, the answer is affirmative — yes they can.

The longevity of Earth's continents in the face of destructive tectonic activity is an essential geologic backdrop for the emergence of life on our planet. This stability depends on the underlying mantle attached to the landmasses. New research by a group of geoscientists from Carnegie, the Gemological Institute of America, and the University of Alberta demonstrates that diamonds can be used to reveal how a buoyant section of mantle beneath some of the continents became thick enough to provide long-term stability.

Eos
During convergence between continental and oceanic tectonic plates, the continental plate usually rides over the top of the oceanic plate, causing the latter to sink (subduct) steeply (at least 30 degrees) into the mantle. This process results in a predictable arrangement of basins and deformation (i.e., mountain range formation) flanking a volcanic arc. However, in some subduction zones, the subducted plate does not enter the mantle at a steep angle. Instead, it subducts as a nearly horizontal slab.

The Arctic shelf is the most promising hydrocarbon production area. However, its development is associated with the solution of a number of problems that are associated with the conditions of relict permafrost and the presence of gas hydrates. Of particular interest is the assessment of methane emissions during the shelf permafrost degradation and the hydrate decomposition due to heat and mass transfer processes. According to many researchers, dissociation of gas hydrate formations in bottom sediments makes the largest contribution to methane emissions on the Arctic shelf.

NASA's Insight Mars lander has recorded its first "marsquake," making waves among Earthling seismologists tens of millions of miles away and kicking off a new era in our study of the red planet. The faint signal, which came on April 6, is the first tremble that scientists believe comes from the Martian interior, rather than from surface forces, such as wind. But researchers are still studying the data to pin down the quake's precise source.

Slope failures can endanger human life and cause infrastructural destruction and socioeconomic loss. Geoscientists have strived to develop constitutive models and real-time slope monitoring models and systems to abate these processes. Most research studies have proposed models which describe the dynamics of wedge-shaped soil masses which do not mimic real field conditions. In this study, failure dynamics of spherical-cap-shaped soil masses on an inclined slope section undergoing purely translational displacement are described using empirical models derived from inertial forces in action for varying hydrological conditions.

The caldera-forming eruption of Campi Flegrei (Italy) 40,000 years ago is the largest known eruption in Europe during the last 200,000 years, but little is known about other large eruptions at the volcano prior to a more recent caldera-forming event 15,000 years ago. A new Geology article by Paul Albert and colleagues discusses a 29,000-year-old eruption, here verified as coming from Campi Flegrei, that spread a volcanic ash layer more than 150,000 square kilometers of the Mediterranean.

Phosphate ore is an important raw material for manufacturing fertilizers and phosphorous chemical products. While most of the phosphate resources cannot be directly treated as feed stock due to the low grade of P2O5 and high content of impurities. In order to obtain a qualified phosphate concentrate, the beneficiation of the low-grade phosphate ore is, hence, of great necessity.
