Columnar Jointing in Rhyolite at Hughes Mountain Conservation Area, Washington County, Missouri
AIPG
New AIPG YouTube video -
Loren Bohannon is a graduate student at Missouri State University, and hails from Arkansas. Loren gives us an introduction to the columnar jointed Rhyolite called the Devil's Honeycomb at the Hughes Mountain Conservation Area near Irondale, in Washington County, Missouri. The Honeycomb is part of the larger St. Francis Mountains Igneous Terrane, dating to a time about 1.5 billion years ago, when Southeastern Missouri was part of a large volcanic province that may well have been similar to the modern Long Valley Caldera in eastern California.

WSGS Updates Online Oil and Gas Map of Wyoming
AIPG
The Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) recently released the 2021 version of the Interactive Oil and Gas Map of Wyoming.
Since it was first published in 1943, the oil and gas map has been used by industry, educators, and the general public to explore Wyoming’s oil and gas fields and related infrastructure. Historically, the WSGS released updated editions of the map every 5 to 10 years, illustrating the growth of and changes to one of the state’s most important industries. The WSGS created an online interactive version of the map in 2016. This fifth update to the online Oil and Gas Map of Wyoming highlights the importance of the digital format. The map has been viewed more than 16,000 times in the last 12 months and more than 61,000 times since its inception.

Geologize teaches geoscientists to bring the public to a greater understanding and appreciation of our planet through effective and powerful communication. With falling public engagement and university enrolment we believe this effort is crucial.

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.

The effect of brackish water extraction on the brackish upconing below the Horstermeer Polder
TUDelft
Extensive usage of vital freshwater is highly undesirable in the current era of climate change and population growth. However, the 6 millionm3/y of brackish seepage that occurs in the deep Horstermeer Polder, located in between the cities of Amsterdam and Hilversumin the Netherlands, is mitigated by using up to 207 millionm3/y of freshwater. This is very unsustainable, especially since thepressure on the freshwater reserves in the Netherlands is rising.

Strange gas in Venus's clouds may be a sign of volcanoes, not life
New Scientist
The unexpected discovery of a gas called phosphine on Venus led to speculation that there may be life floating in the planet's clouds — but it may have come from huge volcanic eruptions instead.
In 2020, a team led by Jane Greaves at Cardiff University in the UK saw evidence of phosphine in Venus's clouds, which are primarily made of concentrated sulphuric acid.

Could there be another earthquake on Arkansas' New Madrid Fault Line?
KHBS-TV
When we think about earthquake danger, we're more likely to picture California than Arkansas.
But Arkansas also has a major fault line.
The New Madrid Fault Line runs from the tip of Mississippi up into southern Illinois along the Mississippi River.
The last major earthquakes along the fault happened in December 1811 and in 1812, but University of Arkansas professor Gregory Dumond said scientists can't predict when the next one will happen.
