Oct. 24 and 25 at the ODNR H.R. Collins Core Laboratory Conference Room, in Delaware, Ohio.
The AIPG Ohio Section is pleased to announce an upcoming Vapor Intrusion Short Course. Vapor intrusion (VI) is the migration of undesirable chemical components into indoor airspace. Vapor intrusion into buildings is one of the primary routes of human exposure to volatile organic compounds released to the subsurface. This short course will cover VI aspects including the physical processes governing subsurface vapor transport and entry into buildings, VI assessment, monitoring and mitigation strategies, VI risk analysis, legal aspects, case studies and field demonstrations. CEUs will be available, and we are working with Ohio EPA to get VAP PDHUs for Certified Professionals that attend. Topics of discussion will include:
- History of Chlorinated Solvents & Soil-gas Sampling
- Regulatory Framework
- Vapor sources
- Predicting Vapor Intrusion to Indoor Air
- Measuring Indoor Air Samples
- Data Interpretation
- Exposure/Receptor Types
- Mitigation Approaches
- Post-Mitigation Sampling & Long Term Monitoring
- Case Studies
- Community Involvement
- Legal Liability & Obligations
Please view the full course information here: AIPG Ohio 10-2017 VI Course Flyer.
Please register on our payment page here.
Attendance will be limited to the first 50 paid registrants, so please register today!

Save the date — Nov. 7 — for the launch event of the International Raw Materials Observatory and join us in a discussion to unveil strategies for tackling future challenges of metals and minerals' provision.
This event is organized in the frame of the European Commission's Raw Materials Week, and will be integrated in a session of the Conference EU-Advanced Mining Countries, organized by DG Grow. In addition, as one of the services the Observatory will provide in the future, an international match-making session between industry and research organizations active in the raw materials sector will be organized at the end of this Conference.
The International Raw Materials Observatory is a new independent, apolitical, international not-for-profit organization, set up to support international cooperation on mineral raw materials' research and innovation, education and outreach, industry and trade and recycling, management and substitution of strategic raw materials.
More information to follow soon via http://INTRAW.eu and @intrawproject.

Volcanologists are gaining a new understanding of what's going on inside the magma reservoir that lies below an active volcano, and they're finding a colder, more solid place than previously thought, according to new research published June 16 in the journal Science. It's a new view of how volcanoes work, and could eventually help volcanologists get a better idea of when a volcano poses the most risk.

The last time Earth had a supercontinent was about 200 million years ago. All the landmasses that form the present continents sat together like pieces of a puzzle in a conglomerate called Pangaea. Pangaea was preceded by a number of other supercontinents that seem to have formed and broken up again about once every 600 million years. Now researchers from Australia and California report that reconstructions of Earth's magnetic field strength over time show a correlation with this cycle, all the way back to roughly 3.6 billion years ago.

For more than 400 million years, the Salina formation was sealed away from human engineering. But as gas and oil drill bits pounded past to fuel-bearing layers, geologists grew intrigued by its salt zones.

The Sierra Nevada and Coast ranges are pushed down by fractions of an inch each winter by the weight of rain and snow and then rise after melt and runoff, tugging on California's earthquake faults and triggering small temblors, according to a new study by seismologists at UC Berkeley and Bowling Green State University.

For the past eight years, Kimberley Stone Company has been operating a boutique mine near the Western Australia–Northern Territory border, producing significant amounts of the rare striped and spotted rocks. Zebra rocks have only been found in the Lake Argyle catchment of northern Australia and are believed to have formed 1.2 billion years ago. The mine is owned by couple Ruth Duncan and Kim Walker, who have discovered a large, horizontal seam of zebra rock. But in an unusual move by a mining company, has decided to leave it alone.

CGG has unveiled its JumpStart multi-client geoscience programs at the 2017 EAGE conference and exhibition in Paris.
These are designed to improve the industry's understanding of petroleum systems and support exploration efforts.
Currently CGG has seven JumpStart programs in operation for individual areas offshore Mexico, Gabon, Australia, Norway, Indonesia and Timor Leste, with two areas off Brazil and more programs in prospect. JumpStart is said to integrate all available data in a geographical area and frame it within a geological context.

A wet spring season has experts predicting that summer water levels for the Great Lakes could be higher than normal and above last year's mark through early fall.
The Great Lakes Hydraulics and Hydrology Office at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Detroit district announced Monday in its six-month water level forecast that summer water levels on lakes Superior, Michigan-Huron, St. Clair and Erie will be at their highest since 1996-1998.

Nepal is to spend two years measuring Mount Everest because its official height may have changed following the devastating April 2015 earthquake in the region.
The country's Department of Survey says the mountain, measuring 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) based on previous surveys, may also have shifted its geographic position.
