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.

The Anthropocene period is considered important by researchers in many fields as it effectively marks a milestone for humanity's impact on Earth's environment and ecosystem.

Dinosaurs took over amid ice, not warmth, says a new study of ancient mass extinction
ScienceDaily
Many of us know the conventional theory of how the dinosaurs died 66 million years ago: in Earth's fiery collision with a meteorite, and a following global winter as dust and debris choked the atmosphere. But there was a previous extinction, far more mysterious and less discussed: the one 202 million years ago, which killed off the big reptiles who up until then ruled the planet, and apparently cleared the way for dinosaurs to take over.
