EFG 2020 Employment Survey

AIPG

In our annual "EFG Employment Survey," we aim at taking a snapshot of the current labor market for geologists in Europe and beyond:

Which industries are professional geologists working?
What is their current employment state and security?
Do their professional activities align with their training?
Are they exploiting job opportunities in other European countries?
What are the prospects for the future?

To help us produce a comprehensive report about the evolution of our profession, we would appreciate if you could take our short survey. Answering the survey takes approximately 10 minutes.Thank you in advance for your time!

Giant tectonic plate under Indian Ocean is breaking in two

Live Science

The giant tectonic plate under the Indian Ocean is going through a rocky breakup ... with itself.In a short time (geologically speaking) this plate will split in two, a new study finds. The plate, known as the India-Australia-Capricorn tectonic plate, is splitting at a snail's pace — about 0.06 inches (1.7 millimeters) a year. Put another way, in 1 million years, the plate's two pieces will be about 1 mile (1.7 kilometers) farther apart than they are now.

Study: Earth's inner core is rotating

Tech Explorist

Geologists don't completely understand how the Earth's magnetic field generator works; however, presume it is firmly connected to dynamic procedures close to the inner core-outer core boundary area.A new study based on seismic data from repeating earthquakes and new data-processing methods has revealed that Earth’s inner core is rotating. The findings could give detailed insights into the processes that control the planet's magnetic field.

Caves tell us that Australia's mountains are still growing

University of Melbourne via ScienceDaily

Research shows Buchan Caves to be about 3.5 million years old and that Victoria's East Gippsland has remained tectonically active for long times, even into the present-day, which is why residents occasionally report earthquakes. Basically, the uplifting Southern Alps in New Zealand have made stress and strain on the Australian tectonic plate, stress that is then expressed as earthquakes and rising landscapes in Victoria. It's rather amazing that the caves recorded this geological signal all the way from New Zealand.

The occurrence of permafrost within the glacial domain

Geosciences

The occurrence of permafrost within glacial environments has never been comprehensively defined based on scientific evidence, despite its importance in determining how all the components of the cryosphere associate and interact. Here, the relation between glaciers and permafrost is discussed based on what scientific field they have been traditionally associated with.

Tasting groundwater reveals reserves of valuable minerals

CSIRO via Phys.org

CSIRO researcher Dr. Nathan Reid led a team of scientists analyzing samples of groundwater from the Capricorn region in Western Australia, where layers of sediment and weathering are believed to hide potential ore deposits from view. The researchers discovered broad "halos" of altered water chemistry around known deposits of gold, uranium and other minerals where interaction with the ore systems had left distinctive traces in the water.
