Join the AIPG WI Section and the National Executive Committee on this field trip that will illustrate the geology of the PreCambrian Baraboo Range in southern Wisconsin. This area is well known to structural geology classes that travel there from throughout the Midwest to see the synclinal features of the area. Several stops will include structural elements of the range including steeply dipping layers in the quartzite formation, ripple marks, and boudinage and other deformation features. Adjacent geologic terrains will be discussed including the terminal moraine of the Pleistocene Wisconsin Glaciation, Cambrian sandstones of the "Driftless Area" and the Pleistocene Sauk Prairie.

This year the 56th meeting of the American Institute of Professional Geologists National Conference is being held in the beautiful lakeside city of Burlington, Vermont. This years' conference, "Geology in the Green Mountains: Scenic Beauty and Economic Engine," is being held from Saturday, Sept. 14 through Tuesday, Sept. 17, at the DoubleTree in Burlington, Vermont — merely a stones' throw from the University of Vermont campus. The middle of September in Vermont will bring with it comfortably warm days and cool nights, the leaves will have just started turning into a myriad of quintessential fall colors, and the sunsets over the Adirondack mountains to the west will be breathtaking. The Northeast Section is co-hosting this event and we couldn't be more excited!
Vermont's State Geologist, Marjorie Gale, describes the landscape of Vermont as being representative of more than one billion years of geologic history — a confluence of sedimentary deposition, of lava flows, of metamorphism, of several orogenies (valleys and mountains in between), of glacial scour and, fitting to our theme, anthropogenic sculpting. We're delighted that Ms. Gale is not only leading one of our field trips this fall but has also graciously volunteered to deliver a key note address!

AIPG will present a one-day workshop for students and young professionals at the Geological Society of America annual meeting, which will be held in Phoenix, Arizona. The workshop is intended to help students successfully transition from the classroom into the workforce and to guide both students and young professionals as they start careers in the mining industry. Participants will learn about the importance of balancing life and work demands, expectations of employers, how to navigate the hiring process, what techniques can be used to stand out as a candidate, how to prepare a CV and strategies for professional development.

The fellow acts as a science policy liaison, keeping GSA members informed, involved, and represented in national policy in areas such as research funding, energy and natural resource assessments, climate change policy, and natural hazard mitigation and response. The fellow also works closely with GSA's Geology and Public Policy Committee on geoscience initiatives, including developing society-wide position statements.
The GSA Science Policy Fellowship is open to recent Masters or PhD graduates. The ideal candidate will have a strong academic background, excellent oral and written communication skills, be self-motivated, and have a demonstrated interest in public policy and science communication. This one-year position includes a stipend and GSA's benefits package.
The anticipated start date is Sept. 1, although some flexibility exists. To apply, send a resume, cover letter, a nontechnical writing sample, and contact information for three references to kwhite@geosociety.org. Consideration of applications will begin May 20.

Energy Exposition
Attendees represent a wide range of services, including but not limited to, exploration, production, downstream and all phases of support to the industry. We have been privileged to have political attendees from the local community, city, county and state governments as well political luminaries such as former Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney. In 2014 we were fortunate to have Vice President Dick Cheney as our Keynote Speaker. His daughter Liz (now U.S. Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming) also honored us by speaking at a couple of our events.
The Energy Exposition has educated tens of thousands of people in Gillette, Wyoming; Billings, Montana; and just recently Loveland, Colorado, over the last 19 years on procedures, technology, safety, environmental practices and equipment used in the oil and gas industry. Our doors have always been open to industry and non-industry attendees. Most of our exhibitors are from the oil and gas industry. We also welcome our participants from the wind, solar and other energy companies that support the oil and gas industry.

In a study published May 27 in Nature Geoscience a team of scientists, including glaciologists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego, detail how they discovered an ancient geologic structure under Antarctica's largest ice shelf and describe how the ice shelf's stability in future climates depends on local processes occurring in summer near the ice front.

Diamonds growing in the Earth's mantle often trap inclusions of fluids that are highly saline in composition. These fluids are thought to emerge from deep in subduction zones and may also be involved in the generation of some of the kimberlite magmas. However, the source of these fluids and the mechanism of their transport into the mantle lithosphere are unresolved. Here, we present experimental results showing that alkali chlorides are stable solid phases in the mantle lithosphere below 110 km.

Geology
Wind has been an enduring geologic agent throughout the history of Mars, but it is often unclear where and why sediment is mobile in the current epoch. We investigated whether eolian bed-form (dune and ripple) transport rates are depressed or enhanced in some areas by local or regional boundary conditions (e.g., topography, sand supply/availability).

Frontiers in Earth Science
Continental shelf environments are uniquely situated to capture some of the most dynamic processes on Earth including climatic variability and anthropogenic modifications to coastal systems. Understanding how these processes have affected sediment delivery and accumulation on the shelf in the past may provide insight into potential changes in the future. To address this, we investigated shelf sedimentation within Monterey Bay, California.

The 2011 Great East Japan tsunami revealed the limit of using natural or artificial infrastructures as a single tsunami countermeasure. In recent tsunami mitigation strategy, interest in a hybrid defense system (combination of natural and artificial infrastructures) rather than a single defense structure is growing, and a pilot project has already started in Japan. Clarification of flow structures within the hybrid defense system is necessary for designing an improved mitigation system.
