Responding to the pandemic through flexible working arrangements
AIPG
Throughout the pandemic, work environments have shifted between virtual, in-person and hybrid scenarios. Remote-first work policies, which allow employees to choose their work location for any given day, have enabled workplaces to more quickly adapt to changing pandemic conditions. Furthermore, while remote-first policies have been more common for non-academic professionals than for college and university faculty, during the Delta and Omicron surges in late 2021 and early 2022, an increasing percentage of academic faculty and non-academic professionals reported that their employer's had remote-first workplace policies in effect.

Join us for the 2022 National Conference in Marquette on the beautiful shores of the world's largest freshwater lake!
This year's meeting theme is "Geology: The Cornerstone of our Future." Geology plays a significant role in today's society and will become even more important in the years to come. Our reliance on basic resources and building materials such as sand and gravel for roads, limestone for concrete, iron for structural purposes, and other base metals for electronics and other applications will not diminish. In addition, the need for rare earth elements as well as reliable sources of fresh water are in high demand. We will explore these topics and more in what will be the perfect time to visit Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Start making your plans and bring your family! Northern Michigan offers fantastic opportunities for exploration and time away from the daily routine.
Earn CEUs for attending the Executive Committee Meetings, Technical Sessions and Technical Field Trips!

AIPG Mentoring Program
AIPG
AIPG believes mentoring is integral to encouraging geoscientists throughout their careers. This can include discussions on many different topics, including but not limited to:
- specific geoscience topics or questions
- education and experience required for specific career tracks
- any geoscience topic of interest
- geoscience employment search
- selecting the best-suited geoscience career track
- work abroad experiences in geosciences
AIPG is setting up this mentor site to encourage one-on-one AIPG-member discussions. We encourage the mentor and mentee to include others in their discussions and research as needed. A mentor may or may not have applicable experience or knowledge related to a mentee's area of interest, but the mentor will help find information and/or an alternate mentor.
AIPG Members interested in becoming a Mentor can submit the online Mentor form.

Insights into Cenozoic environmental change and ecosystem evolution
Phys.org
The growth of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) during the Cenozoic drove dramatic climate and environmental change in this region. However, there has been a limited amount of research on long-term climate change on QTP. Therefore, the long-term paleoclimatic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau and its main driving mechanisms are poorly understood.
