.AIPG NATIONAL NEWS
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!

COVID-19 Impacts Study: Employment status of recent graduates
AIPG
Of all participants in the Geoscience COVID-19 Impacts study, recent geoscience graduates have been the most vulnerable to employment disruptions during the pandemic. However, the study results indicate that the most recent geoscience graduates have either remained employed or gained employment during the pandemic, with the majority of recent graduates employed in non-academic geoscience occupations. In this data brief, we examine how the employment trajectories for recent geoscience graduates (classes 2014–2021) changed over the period between February 2020 and March 2022.

Geoscience COVID-19 study to focus on permanent changes from the pandemic
AIPG
AGI Geoscience COVID-19 Impacts study
We are pleased to announce that this study has been extended into a third and final phase thanks to continued support by the National Science Foundation (Award #2029570). This final phase of the study will track the transition of instructional and work intervention strategies used during the pandemic into their adoption as permanent approaches used within academia and the workforce.

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.

Environment scientists close in on 'golden spike' to define Anthropocene
ScienceDaily
Leicester researchers searching for a 'golden spike' to formally define humanity's current geological period — and acknowledge human impact on our planet — have announced a major step in their analysis at an international conference.
University of Leicester Professors Jens Zinke, Mark Williams and Jan Zalasiewicz and PhD researcher Stephen Himson presented multiple candidates for unique reference points to define the Anthropocene at Haus der Kulturen der Welt's 'Unearthing the Present' conference in Berlin.

Explosive Tonga volcano 'surprisingly intact'
BBC
The Tonga underwater volcano that produced a spectacular eruption in January remains astonishingly intact.
A New Zealand-led team has just finished mapping the flanks of the seamount, which many people thought might have been torn apart in the ferocity of the event.
But structurally, Hunga-Tonga Hunga-Ha'apai hasn't changed that much.

What 40-million-year-old tropical reef corals tell us about climate change
Phys.org
Unusually well-preserved reef corals from the Geological and Paleontological Collection at Leipzig University hold a great secret: They allow us to travel far into the past and reconstruct climatic conditions in our latitudes. Researchers from Leipzig University, the Universities of Bremen and Greifswald, and UniLaSalle in Beauvais have now succeeded in doing just this.

Paleontologists have discovered the jaws of a rare bear in Taurida Cave
EurekAlert!
A group of paleontologists, included researchers from the Ural Federal University (UrFU), discovered the jaws of an Etruscan bear from the early Pleistocene period (2–1.5 million years ago) in the Taurida cave. The remains of Etruscan bears (which is the ancestor of brown and cave bears) as part of the fauna of large mammals of the early Pleistocene were found in Western Europe, Asia, and North Africa. And now it is found in the Crimea.
