The Upper Mississippi Valley Lead-Zinc District Revisited:
Mining History, Geology, Reclamation and Environmental Issues
30 Years after the Last Mine Closed
Supported and attended by the same experts who headed up this trip in 2009!
Bruce Brown (WI Geological Survey), Dave Johnson (WI-DNR), Daniel Reid (WI-DOT)
9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 5
The Field Trip will begin at the Badger Mine & Museum Parking Lot,
279 W. Estey Street, Shullsburg, WI 53586 (30 minutes NE of Galena, Illinois).
This one-day field trip is intended to provide a brief introduction to the geology, mining history, cultural history and related environmental and reclamation issues of the historic lead-zinc mining region of southwestern Wisconsin. The Upper Mississippi Valley mining district, which includes parts of adjacent Iowa and Illinois, is important in the history of economic geology because it is the type area for the class of carbonate-hosted base-metal deposits known as Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposits. The district is of significant historical interest because it has been a lead producer since the French explorers first visited the Mississippi Valley in the seventeenth century, and the district was the scene of one of the earliest mineral rushes in the United States in 1827. The area continues to be of interest because of ongoing environmental issues, including reclamation and water quality issues related to the widespread metallic mineralization that occurs throughout the region.
Attendees will earn 8.0 Professional Development hours.
Registration Fee is $45 and AIPG Student Members are Free of Charge. (Includes lunch, snacks and guidebook.)
Contact Craig McCammack at 630-936-0332 (mobile) or cmccammack@v3co.com.
Please make checks payable to AIPG IL-IN Section and mail them to Craig McCammack at 738 S. Forest Dr., Barrington, IL 60010 by July 27.

Our need for information on earth materials, processes and history is escalating. Solving issues from public health to emergency preparedness, resource management and global hydrological and tectonic modeling require not only geologic maps at a full range of resolutions and formats, but also 3-D grids of physical properties from lithology to hydraulic conductivity. This session will highlight efforts to address these ongoing and urgent challenges, including innovative applications of geologic maps to social needs, new and evolving technologies and lessons from cutting-edge science such as extraterrestrial mapping.

A meteorite, which landed in Holland could help scientists understand the origin of the solar system.
People across the Netherlands and Belgium saw its fiery trail on Jan. 11. The stone crashed onto the roof of a shed, breaking its frame but causing no injuries. Scientists are thrilled. Meteorites land every few years, but are rarely recovered. This is only the sixth stone recovered in two centuries. Scientists at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden are examining the 1.1-lb. space rock.
Senior geologist Leo Kriegsman said the rock is 4.5 billion years old.

Familiar clouds like cumulonimbus, cirrocumulus and nimbostratus have some new company. The World Meteorological Organization has published a new edition of its International Cloud Atlas, the first revision since 1987. The updated version compiles recent observations and introduces about a dozen new terms, such as "asperitas," which refers to a cloud whose sweeping undulations resemble the surface of a stormy sea, as well as names for clouds induced by wildfires and by human activity.

Despite its global impact on ecosystems, the Triassic/Jurassic boundary event had only a modest effect on the carbonate depositional systems of the Southern Alps, whereas a fundamental reorganization of the same palaeogeographic area took place during the Sinemurian Age. This paper investigates whether or not the well-documented demise of Sinemurian carbonate platforms in the Tethyan region was a response to a global event by examination of carbon-isotope anomalies in successions of different facies that record this interval of time.

Robert Hazen's field — mineralogy — might seem like the most appropriate scientific specialty for studying what's happening below Earth's surface. But, he says, that job requires partnering with scientists from as many different disciplines as possible.

Digging for Rome's new subway has unearthed the charred ruins of an early 3rd-century building and the 1,800-year-old skeleton of a crouching dog that apparently perished in the same blaze that collapsed the structure.
Archaeologists on June 26 said they made the discovery on May 23 while examining a 10-meter (33-foot) -deep hole bored near the ancient Aurelian Walls as part of construction work for the Metro C line.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory says seismic activity at an Aleutians Island volcano has diminished.
Bogoslof (BOH-gohs-lawf) Volcano about 850 miles (1,400 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage erupted at 3:17 a.m. June 27 and sent an ash cloud to 30,000 feet (9,100 meters).
The eruption lasted 14 minutes.

A sinkhole opened up on the edge of Wickiup Reservoir — possibly due to a collapsed lava tube.
Photos shared by the Deschutes National Forest showed water draining into the sinkhole. During a visit to the area on June 27, the hole was just above the water line. Dave Walsh, spokesman with the Bureau of Reclamation, said the hole is roughly 10 to 12 feet across and about 4 feet deep. He said a geologist who examined it on behalf of the bureau on June 26 estimated water was flowing down the hole to parts unknown at around 900 gallons a minute.
