INTRAW
 During seven weeks, the INTRAW projet took its followers on a world tour around five mining industries, allowing them to know the project better and learn how to build a strong mining industry. The campaign, called #DiscoverINTRAW, took them to Australia, Canada, South Africa, Japan and the U.S. and focused on three man topics: Trade and Industry, Research and Innovation, Education and Outreach, each of them being based on the projects operational reports.

Since its inception, AGI's Geoscience Student Exit Survey has investigated internship participation among recent geoscience graduates. Over the past few years, participation rates have been lower than expected, especially among bachelor's and doctoral graduates. A few additional questions were added to the survey to investigate the efforts of recent graduates to obtain an internship before graduation. The assumption behind these questions was that students were applying but not selected for an internship. However, in 2015 and 2016, higher than expected percentages of graduates, particularly bachelor's and doctoral graduates, did not apply for an internship.
Geoscience Currents #118 shows the participation in internships by 2016 geoscience graduates and the number of applications these graduates filled out while they were still students. AGI recognizes the importance of these experiences for students' academic and professional development and recommends further investigation into the availability of geoscience internships or internship-like experiences.

The Western Slope Conservation Center invites community leaders and restoration professionals to attend a two day community river restoration and mining reclamation workshop on June 1-2. Many communities with mining legacies across the country are faced with major challenges of transitioning their local economies while also stewarding their lands and watersheds. Creative, community oriented reclamation can turn environmental liabilities into community centerpieces, generating valuable economic, environmental and recreational opportunities. The Paonia River Park in Paonia, Colorado, is a prime example of a successful and sustainable postmining reclamation project. Formerly an instream gravel mine, the Paonia River Park is now a fully functioning public access park with a boat ramp, beach and swimming holes, picnic areas, new trail network and ADA accessible features.
At this workshop, attendees will tour the river park, learn about the technical aspects of restoration, social impacts of the park, discuss WSCC's successes and lessons learned, explore creative funding techniques, network with fellow practitioners and community leaders from mining regions and leave with an overall sense of what it means to undergo a community directed reclamation project. Stay for our 17th annual Float Fest on June 3 and tour the improvements along the North Fork of the Gunnison River.

AGI Pardee Symposium — Earth Anatomy Revealed: Geologic Mapping for Our Future, 8 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, Oct. 25.
Our need for information on earth materials, processes and history is escalating. Solving issues from public health to emergency preparedness, resource management and global hydrological and tectonic modeling require not only geologic maps at a full range of resolutions and formats, but also 3-D grids of physical properties from lithology to hydraulic conductivity. This session will highlight efforts to address these ongoing and urgent challenges, including innovative applications of geologic maps to social needs, new and evolving technologies and lessons from cutting-edge science such as extraterrestrial mapping.
More information available soon.

Geologists have created a computer model of tectonic activity so effective that they believe it has potential to predict where earthquakes and volcanoes will occur. Scientists focused on the deep mantle and its relationship to plate tectonics.

Scientists have discovered an extra layer of tectonic plates in the Earth's mantle. The newly detected tectonic plates have been found in East Asia and could help in explaining mysterious earthquakes between Fiji and Australia.

Geologists and engineers crowded a conference room in San Luis Obispo on May 24 to address the latest assault upon California’s most revered roadway.
Yet another stretch of Highway 1, that improbable serpentine hemming the continent's western edge, had abruptly disappeared.
No one in the room was shocked or surprised. The scientists and builders knew what they were up against.

The geology of the Gulf of Mexico is dynamic, driven not by plate tectonics but by the movement of subsurface bodies of salt. Salt deposits, a remnant of an ocean that existed some 200 million years ago, behave in a certain way when overlain by heavy sediments. They compact, deform, squeeze into cracks, and balloon into overlying material. Such salt tectonics continue to sculpt the geologic strata and seafloor in the GOM like few other places on Earth. Now a new regional seafloor data set created by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management reveals that dynamic environment with stunning new clarity.

President Donald Trump has proposed a $922.2 million fiscal year 2018 (FY18) budget for the U.S. Geological Survey. This highlights the administration's commitment to increasing efficiency across the federal government and science supporting national objectives and priorities. The president's proposed FY18 request reflects a savings of $137.8 million in appropriated funds from the fiscal year 2017 CR baseline and a continued commitment to the bureau's core mission.

When rocks get hot, they do what people do: shed a few layers.
And the hottest hours of the day — during the hottest months of the year — are prime time for unexplained rockfalls and cracking, according to a new study of the granite domes and cliffs in the Sierra Nevada, which finds that hikers, tourists and wildlife are at less risk of being flattened during cooler times from this mechanism.

Scientists say they've turned a mineral called ilmenite into titanium dioxide, a valuable part of numerous consumer products, in a pilot project on the Iron Range.
The successful pilot could open the door to more than 100 years of mining, though not on the large-scale of northeast Minnesota's taconite industry. Scientists announced the results of the project on May 25, one year after the Natural Resources Research Institute of the University of Minnesota-Duluth received $600,000 in research grants.
