Day 1 — Wisconsin Geology — Saturday, Aug. 12 — 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
On this day, we will start with the Archean rocks and work our way up looking at: Paleoproterozic Palms, Ironwood Formation, Tyler Formations, then some stops in the Mesoproterozoic Mellen Complex of the Mid-continent Rift, all near Mellen, Wisconsin. Then heading east we will look at the Oronto Group at the mouth of the Montreal River. These rocks span more than 1.7 billion years and represent many different geologic environments and provide many different mineral resources.
Day 2 — Michigan Geology — Sunday, Aug. 13 — 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
On Sunday, we will examines the geology of the rocks of the Keweenawan Supergroup (1.1 Ga) and related intrusive rocks of the Midcontinent rift system exposed around the Porcupine Mountains. The Porcupine Volcanics create much of the area topography and represent a volcanic center that became active late in the volcanic history (about 1093 Ma). The Porcupine Volcanics are distinctly enriched in light rare earth elements (LREE). Economic–grade ore bodies are located on the western and eastern mountain flanks. Transportation: Both field trips will leave from Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park.
Cost: $40 per person includes motor coach transportation to and from the park on both days and a barbecue dinner at the park on Saturday night!

This AGI Critical Issues webinar will focus on efforts to anticipate, mitigate, and respond to coastal storms, erosion, and associated hazards at the federal, state, and local level.
Background
Coastal hazards are a widespread challenge that cost millions (and sometimes billions) of dollars in the U.S. every year due to property loss and spending on mitigation measures. Based on the most recent U.S. Census, over 39% of the U.S. population lives in areas that may undergo significant coastal flooding during a 100-year flood event. Additionally, six of the ten most expensive weather-related disasters in U.S. history have been caused by coastal storms. Reducing risk and responding to coastal hazards is an ongoing challenge that relies on close coordination and cooperation between geoscientists, coastal planners, emergency managers and communities at all levels.
An introductory talk and three case studies from around the U.S. will cover coastal storm and erosion hazards in the U.S. as well as examples of coastal hazard planning from the Pacific, Gulf, and Atlantic coasts, with a focus on how geoscience informs planning at all levels. Speakers from California, Texas, and Georgia will discuss the impacts of coastal storms and erosion, tools used for coastal hazard mitigation planning in their regions, and examples of community engagement and coordination.
Speakers:
- Maria Honeycutt, Coastal Hazards Specialist, NOAA Office for Coastal Management
- Patrick Barnard, Research Geologist, USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center
- Jeff Taebel, Director of Community and Environmental Planning, Houston-Galveston Area Council
- Jennifer Kline, Coastal Hazards Specialist, Georgia Department of Natural Resources

Terry Morse has been selected as the incoming chief executive officer of the National Ground Water Association. He is the successor to Kevin McCray, CAE, who, after 22 years as CEO and 35 years in the groundwater industry, is retiring Dec. 31. Since the Association's founding in 1948, it has had only four full-time chief executives. Jay H. Lehr, Ph.D., served from 1966 to 1991, David Schmitt from 1991 to 1995, and McCray from 1995 to 2017.

Scientists at the Australian National University have found that independent estimates from geology and biology agree on the timing of the breakup of the Pangaea supercontinent into today's continents. Lead researcher Sarah McIntyre said geologic dating of the continental drift and biological dating of the genetic drift provided independent estimates of the break-up dates over the past 180 million years.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.2 damaged scores of homes on the eastern Greek island of Lesbos on June 12, injuring at least ten people. It was also felt in western Turkey, including in Istanbul, and on neighboring islands.
According to Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management, the undersea earthquake's epicenter was at a shallow depth of seven kilometers (some four miles). At least 25 aftershocks have been recorded following the initial quake.

A newly discovered Jupiter-like world is so hot, it's being vaporized by its own star.
With a dayside temperature of more than 7,800 degrees Fahrenheit (4,600 Kelvin), KELT-9b is a planet that is hotter than most stars. But its blue A-type star, called KELT-9, is even hotter — in fact, it is probably unraveling the planet through evaporation.

On Jan. 4, an exquisitely sensitive instrument on Earth detected a disturbance that rippled through space and time. Scientists traced the ripple 3 billion light-years away, back to two ancient black holes on a collision course. This marked the third time in about a year that physicists, thanks to the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or LIGO, discovered gravitational waves from the violent death spirals of merging black holes.

Monitoring active volcanic lakes can be problematic, especially when they undergo frequent eruptions of steam and other gases. These eruptions can make them too dangerous for human inspection by inflatable boat or raft.
However, the recent burgeoning interest in autonomous aerial drones presents researchers with an opportunity. Could a small, inexpensive and easily transportable autonomous boat, equipped with sonar, do the job?

Bones found in a cave in Morocco add 100,000 years to the history of modern human fossils. These bones are from "early anatomically modern" humans — our own species, Homo sapiens, with a mixture of modern and primitive traits, an international team of anthropologists, paleontologists and evolutionary scientists report in a pair of papers published in the journal Nature.

Scientists have pinpointed a new source of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that's more potent than carbon dioxide. The culprit?
Tiny bits of decomposing leaves in soil.
The new discovery, led by Michigan State University (MSU) researchers and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is featured in the current issue of the journal Nature Geoscience.
