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.

Sheveluch volcano (Kamchatka, Russia): Lava dome Dolphin-2 started to collapse
Volcano Discovery
The extrusive eruption of the volcano continues at very steady flow rate.
A field observation from 24 June by volcanologist Alexey Demyanchuk and his team informed that the new extruded lava dome Dolphin-2, about 200 m tall and 170 m wide at its base, started to collapse slowly as cracks occurred at the dome.
The lava dome had grown from the active lava dome and forming the "dome on top of a dome" in mid-May.

Paleonursery offers rare, detailed glimpse at life 518 million years ago
Science Daily
All life on Earth 500 million years ago lived in the oceans, but scientists know little about how these animals and algae developed. A newly discovered fossil deposit near Kunming, China, may hold the keys to understanding how these organisms laid the foundations for life on land and at sea today, according to an international team of researchers.

Geology professor, student make mega discovery
The College Today
It was a dark and stormy night in May 2018 when Bobby Boessenecker's phone rang unexpectedly at 11 p.m. as he sat inside his warm Charleston apartment. The caller needed Boessenecker’s help to collect a muddy skeleton at a construction site in Summerville, South Carolina.
"Just put a tarp over it," Bossenecker told him. "I'll come join you tomorrow in the daylight when it stops raining."

Purdue scientists analyze moon dust collected by Apollo 17 astronauts
WBIW
Humans have not set foot on the moon for nearly 50 years, but the Apollo moon missions aren't over. The echoes from Neil Armstrong's first steps are still helping scientists make giant leaps in understanding the moon's geology.
When Apollo 17 packed up for home in 1972, the astronauts brought rock samples with them.

Boring to study slow earthquakes
EurekAlert!
Slow earthquakes are long-period earthquakes that are not so dangerous alone, but are able to trigger more destructive earthquakes. Their origins lie in tectonic plate boundaries where one plate subsides below another. Though the causal mechanism is already known, there has been a lack of data to accurately model the life cycle of slow earthquakes.
