Resources for Future Generations
June 16-21, 2018, at the Vancouver Convention Center, in BC, Canada.
www.rfg2018.org
The rapid growth of developing economies and the fundamental needs of many disadvantaged people across the globe are resulting in an increased demand for many resources and changes in the delivery of existing ones. The need for focused environmental priorities and new technologies will add additional requirements and constraints. The International Union of Geological Sciences, the Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences, the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, the Geological Association of Canada and the Mineralogical Association of Canada are partnering to bring industry, academia and governments together to tackle this growing issue. The Resources for Future Generations conference (RFG2018) takes its theme from a new IUGS initiative of the same name designed to mobilize geoscientists, policy-makers and other stakeholders to explore resource and related sustainability issues.

INTRAW
The INTRAW consortium has recently launched three operational reports providing insights on best practices and weaknesses of raw materials research and innovation, education and outreach and industry and trade in the project's five Reference Countries: Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa and the United States.
The findings of these operational reports also contribute to the design of the International Observatory on Raw Materials that is to be launched by the end of 2017. The Observatory will be a permanent international body that will remain operational after the end of the project, aiming at the establishment and maintenance of strong long-term relationships with the world's key players in raw materials technology and scientific developments.
The operational reports and their summaries are available through the project website. We also invite you to follow the project's seven-weeks-long social media campaign that provides further insights into the operational reports on Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin.

The central focus of this CD Rom is, of course, on ethics as a part of geologic professionalism.
AIPG has been at the forefront of promoting a concern with professional ethics and of setting ethical standards for its members and for the geologic profession as a whole. Without a high and rigorously enforced code of ethics, the public, whom we try to serve, will have no faith in our technical competence.
There are not always easy answers to making ethical decisions. This book provides a thoughtful compendium, not only of the Institute's current positions on ethics but also provides an informed discussion of various viewpoints on the application of ethical principles to real life situations.
Five dollars from every CD sold will be donated to the AIPG Foundation.

One structural geologist calls it the "million-dollar question" that underlies all work in her laboratory: what goes on deep in the Earth as strike-slip faults form in the crust? This is the fault type that occurs when two tectonic plates slide past one another, generating the waves of energy we sometimes feel as earthquakes.

Volcanic eruptions such as Mount St. Helens' in 1980 show the explosiveness of magma moving through the Earth's crust. Now geologists are excited about what uplifted granite bodies such as Yosemite's El Capitan say about magma that freezes before it can erupt on the surface.

Rapid nondestructive screening using high-definition (HD) imaging techniques provides a viable solution for superior visualization and detailed quantitative core assessment. These detailed deliverables are available before the core is removed from the inner core barrel and other measurements are commenced. X-ray scanners, popularly known as computed tomography (CT) scanners, are used for such qualitative and quantitative description of cores. Similar to medical applications, CT scanners are used to capture the entire 3-D aspect of rocks when they arrive from the well site and while cores are still in their barrels.

Because of inaccurate, incomplete, and inconsistent waveform records, full-waveform inversion (FWI) in the framework of a local optimization approach may not have a unique solution, and thus it remains an ill-posed inverse problem. To improve the robustness of FWI, we have developed a new model regularization approach that enforced the sparsity of solutions in the seislet domain.

In the harshest of environments in far-east Russia, Monash scientists have played a leading role in the discovery of a new mineral, which could revolutionize the future of the mining industry. The mineral — Nataliyamalikite — is new, and did not exist before, explains Professor Joël Brugger, the lead author in a recently published paper in American Mineralogist.

The lakes of liquid methane on Saturn's moon, Titan, are perfect for paddling but not for surfing. New research led by The University of Texas at Austin has found that most waves on Titan's lakes reach only about 1 centimeter high, a finding that indicates a serene environment that could be good news for future probes sent to the surface of that moon.

Scientists based in America's infamous "Tornado Alley" are using drone technology to better understand how tornadoes and other severe weather phenomena develop. They hope new data could lead to better early warning systems that would increase the current advanced warning time of about 14 minutes to more than an hour.

NASA is using Saskatchewan's wetlands and the North Saskatchewan River as a testing ground for new water mapping technologies.
Researchers said Prairie potholes — thousands of tiny wetland lakes formed by glaciers — around the Saint Denis National Wildlife Area and Redberry Lake, and the North Saskatchewan River near the Petrofka Bridge, offer the ideal locations to study and test AirSWOT — an experimental radar for NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite mission that is scheduled to launch in 2021.
