COVID-19 Impacts to Academic Department Operations, April 2021
AGI Geoscience Currents
This data brief provides an update on the state of geoscience academic departments during the COVID-19 pandemic, including budgets, staffing, changes to degree requirements and promotion and tenure guidelines, and planning for the next academic term.
We will continue to provide current snapshots on the impacts of COVID-19 on the geoscience enterprise throughout the year. For more information, and to participate in the study, please visit: www.americangeosciences.org/workforce/covid19
Funding for this project is provided by the National Science Foundation (Award #2029570). The results and interpretation of the survey are the views of the American Geosciences Institute and not those of the National Science Foundation.
Please visit the Geoscience Currents webpage (www.americangeosciences.org/geoscience-currents) or refer to the attached PDF for more information.
Geoscience Currents transmit snapshots of the many facets of the geoscience profession, in-depth case studies of how geoscience is applied, factsheets that provide rigorous introductions to a range of geoscience topics, workforce trends, and career paths. These short reports and data briefs represent collaborations with other societies, employers, and professionals. Topics for Geoscience Currents are often inspired by inquiries from the geoscience community.
Don't currently subscribe to the free Geoscience Currents channel? Register for free today at www.americangeosciences.org/geoscience-currents/subscribe.
If you have research related to any of the topics listed above that you would like to share with the geoscience community, please contact us at workforce@americangeosciences.org about guest authoring a data brief, factsheet, or case study for our Geoscience Currents channel.

'Slow slip' earthquakes' hidden mechanics revealed
Phys.org
Slow slip earthquakes, a type of slow motion tremor, have been detected at many of the world's earthquake hotspots, including those found around the Pacific Ring of Fire, but it is unclear how they are connected to the damaging quakes that occur there. Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have now revealed the earthquakes' inner workings using seismic CT scans and supercomputers to examine a region off the coast of New Zealand known to produce them.

This popular gemstone is the crystal ball for Earth
Inverse
Diamonds may be the hardest of gemstones, but it's zircons that last forever. So durable are these birthstones of December that they represent Earth's oldest known material: Some zircons from Australia date back more than 4 billion years.
But zircons aren't just old. Much like tree rings, they can record time, revealing the ages of the rocks surrounding them and the geologic processes they have witnessed.

The driving force behind tropical mudslides
ScienceDaily
In April 2017, a landslide in Mocoa, Colombia, ripped through a local town, killing more than 300 people. Nicolás Pérez-Consuegra grew up about 570 miles north in Santander, Colombia, and was shocked as he watched the devastation on television. At that time, he was an undergraduate intern at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama.

Radioactivity may fuel life deep underground and inside other worlds
Quanta Magazine
Scientists poke and prod at the fringes of habitability in pursuit of life's limits. To that end, they have tunneled kilometers below Earth's surface, drilling outward from the bottoms of mine shafts and sinking boreholes deep into ocean sediments. To their surprise, "life was everywhere that we looked," said Tori Hoehler, a chemist and astrobiologist at NASA’s Ames Research Center.

Clues from soured milk reveal how gold veins form
Phys.org
For decades scientists have been puzzled by the formation of rare hyper-enriched gold deposits in places like Ballarat in Australia, Serra Palada in Brazil, and Red Lake in Ontario. While such deposits typically form over tens to hundreds of thousands of years, these "ultrahigh-grade" deposits can form in years, month, or even days. So how do they form so quickly?
