Geoscience student progress during the pandemic
AGI Geoscience Currents
This data brief provides an update on the experiences of geoscience students during the pandemic, including impacts on degree progress, students’ intent to continue in their degree programs, how advising is being conducted, co-curricular and professional development activities, and concerns driven by the pandemic.
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) 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.

Geologist identifies new form of quasicrystal
EurekAlert!
A UMass Lowell geologist is among the researchers who have discovered a new type of manmade quasicrystal created by the first test blast of an atomic bomb.
The formation holds promise as a new material that could one day help repair bone, insulate heat or convert heat to electricity, among other uses, according to UMass Lowell Prof. G. Nelson Eby, a member of the university's Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department.

How Earth's tumultuous history gave the Mid-Atlantic its beloved destinations
The Washington Post
The 9 1/2-mile loop trail to the top of the Blue Ridge's Old Rag Mountain and back is Shenandoah National Park's most popular hike, according to the National Park Service. The steep climb is challenging — scrambling over and squeezing between boulders in several places — and once you've conquered the Old Rag summit (elevation 3,284 feet), "you feel like you're on top of the world," in the words of the NPS website.

Fagradalsfjall volcano update: Eruption continues, lava effusion rate increases
Volcano Discovery
The eruption goes on with little changes overall, but lava effusion rate has increased to approx. 12.4 cubic meters per second. The activity, however, has remained almost entirely effusive with no more lava fountains from the vents during the past 24 hours.
Most of the time, the erupted magma is going directly into lava tubes, but occasionally, surges of lava also erupt as flows from the rim of the main vent, producing surface flows nearby.

Observations on geology
Cape Gazette
Art Trembanis is a geology professor at the University of Delaware's School of Marine Science. He focuses on how waves, tides and wind currents shape the beach and seabed. Simply put, move sand around. What geologists call "coastal morphodynamics."
We are at Herring Point, Cape Henlopen State Park, low tide. The beach is at its widest. From atop this spot adjacent to the gun battery, he scans the horizon.

Atmospheric metal layers appear surprisingly regular
Florida News Times
Twice a day, at dusk and before dawn, a thin layer of sodium and other metals begins to sink into the atmosphere at a height of approximately 120 km in Boulder, Colorado. This move was captured by one of the most sensitive "rider" instruments in the world and was reported today in the American Geophysical Union Journal. Geophysics Research Letter.
