Join us for the 2022 National Conference in Marquette on the beautiful shores of the world's largest freshwater lake!
This year's meeting theme is "Geology: The Cornerstone of our Future." Geology plays a significant role in today's society and will become even more important in the years to come. Our reliance on basic resources and building materials such as sand and gravel for roads, limestone for concrete, iron for structural purposes, and other base metals for electronics and other applications will not diminish. In addition, the need for rare earth elements as well as reliable sources of fresh water are in high demand. We will explore these topics and more in what will be the perfect time to visit Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Start making your plans and bring your family! Northern Michigan offers fantastic opportunities for exploration and time away from the daily routine.
Earn CEUs for attending the Executive Committee Meetings, Technical Sessions and Technical Field Trips!

AIPG Mentoring Program
AIPG
AIPG believes mentoring is integral to encouraging geoscientists throughout their careers. This can include discussions on many different topics, including but not limited to:
- specific geoscience topics or questions
- education and experience required for specific career tracks
- any geoscience topic of interest
- geoscience employment search
- selecting the best-suited geoscience career track
- work abroad experiences in geosciences
AIPG is setting up this mentor site to encourage one-on-one AIPG-member discussions. We encourage the mentor and mentee to include others in their discussions and research as needed. A mentor may or may not have applicable experience or knowledge related to a mentee's area of interest, but the mentor will help find information and/or an alternate mentor.
AIPG Members interested in becoming a Mentor can submit the online Mentor form.

Looking for used, older water level data loggers for sea-level rise research
AIPG
How quickly will sea level rise? International and federal agencies (IPCC, WCRP, NOAA, USGS, FEMA, NASA), and others have developed sea level rise projection viewers (Figure 1). Although these sea-level rise screening tools are valuable for insights about the future, the vulnerability related to sea-level rise and extreme rain for low-lying coastal communities is critical to assess at a geospatial and temporal scale useful for local planning and sea-level rise mitigation purposes. The key to increase information for community-based sea level rise mitigation measures is to make local observations and acquire data at an appropriate scale.

Extraterrestrial stone brings first supernova clues to Earth
ScienceDaily
New chemistry 'forensics' indicate that the stone named Hypatia from the Egyptian desert could be the first tangible evidence found on Earth of a supernova type Ia explosion. These rare supernovas are some of the most energetic events in the universe.
This is the conclusion from a new study published in the journal Icarus, by Jan Kramers, Georgy Belyanin and Hartmut Winkler of the University of Johannesburg, and others.

Algae reveal clues about climate changes over millions of years
EurekAlert!
Organisms adjust their cell walls according to environmental conditions such as temperature. Some adaptations involve changes in lipids which may still be preserved long after the rest of the organisms has been degraded. Researchers at the University of Göttingen studied a specific group of lipids called long chain diols which are found in sea sediments all over the world, and which can be preserved for millions of years.
