European Federation of Geologists (EFG) Survey
AIPG
EFG (European Federation of Geologists) is considering launching a coaching scheme in the coming months. They have developed a short survey in order to better understand the general interest within the EFG community. For this reason, they would appreciate it if you could complete this survey and also share it with people for whom it could be interesting. The survey takes less than 5 minutes.

July 17th — Colorado Section Field Trip
AIPG
The Colorado Section is hard at work putting together our first field trip since 2019! This year, our destination is the Dotsero volcano, a very young (in geologic terms) dormant volcano that last erupted 3,800 to 5,000 years ago. The crater is easily accessible by foot, and there is the option to hike down into the crater if you choose.

Stanford research helps explain what causes earthquake foreshocks
Stanford News
On the morning of July 4, 2019, a series of very small earthquakes began to rumble in the Mojave Desert, not far from the southern California town of Ridgecrest.
No one at the time knew these were foreshocks that would soon be followed by two of the biggest earthquakes to strike California in more than 20 years.

Crustal block tectonics offer clues to Venus' geology, study finds
EurekAlert!
A new analysis of Venus' surface shows evidence of tectonic motion in the form of crustal blocks that have jostled against each other like broken chunks of pack ice. Published in the PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences), the study — which includes contributions by Baylor University planetary physicist Peter James, Ph.D. — found that the movement of these blocks could indicate that Venus is still geologically active and give scientists insight into both exoplanet tectonics and the earliest tectonic activity on Earth.

New research unlocks the mystery of New England's beaches
ScienceDaily
Millions of Americans will visit New England's beaches this summer to cool off, play in the waves and soak up the sun. Until now, the factors governing which beaches slope gradually to the sea and which ones end abruptly in a steep drop-off have been largely unknown.

In lonely desert landscapes, hunting for clues about pyroclastic surges
Newswise
Thousands of years ago, at different points in time, clouds of ash, rock and hot gas rushed across the Mojave and Sonoran deserts as two volcanoes erupted.
These destructive events are long over. But their history is written in the lonely landscapes they ravaged. Volcanic dunes and other deposits hold debris from the ancient eruptions, as do craters marking the sites of the blasts — Ubehebe in Death Valley in the Mojave Desert in the U.S., and El Elegante in the Gran Desierto de Altar in the Sonoran Desert in Mexico.

Moderate magnitude 4.0 quake hits 24 km northwest of Nemuro, Japan in the afternoon
Volcano Discovery
An earthquake of magnitude 4.0 occurred in the afternoon on Tuesday 22 June 2021 at 5:10 pm local time near Nemuro, Nemuro-shi, Hokkaido, Japan, as reported by Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate depth of 127.2 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms.

In ten years, this ice sheet could collapse, causing sea levels to rise
The World Economic Forum
The Pine Island Glacier is currently Antarctica's greatest contributor to sea level rise, and, now, a new study warns that it could be closer to collapse than previously thought.
The research, published in Science Advances recently, found that the vulnerable glacier had sped up by 12 percent over the last three years as the ice shelf holding it in place breaks up.
