AIPG
The National Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG) along with the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) invite you to submit an abstract for consideration for a session on licensure and certification to be held at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in San Francisco, from Dec. 9-13.
ASBOG and AIPG are seeking presentations on the importance of professional licensure and certification in the geosciences. As graduating students and early career professionals try to establish their careers, it is important to know where licensure is required to work as a geoscientist and what sectors see professional certification as necessary and useful.

Marvin Glotfelty recently announced that his book, "The Art of Water Wells," is now available from the National Ground Water Association Press. It is available online from the NGWA bookstore. "It was a labor of love to write this book, and I hope others find it to be a useful and easy to read," Glotfelty said.

A new study spearheaded by Earth scientists at the University of Cologne's Institute of Geology and Mineralogy has constrained the age of the moon to approximately 50 million years after the formation of the solar system. After the formation of the solar system, 4.56 billion years ago, the moon formed approximately 4.51 billion years ago. The new study has thus determined that the moon is significantly older than previously believed — earlier research had estimated the moon to have formed approximately 150 million years after solar system's formation.

Researchers picking through the contents of fossil clams from a Sarasota County, Florida, quarry found dozens of tiny glass beads, likely the calling cards of an ancient meteorite. Analysis of the beads suggests they are microtektites, particles that form when the explosive impact of an extraterrestrial object sends molten debris hurtling into the atmosphere where it cools and recrystallizes before falling back to Earth.

Nature Scientific Reports
Freshwater reservoirs, in particular tropical ones, are an important source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, but current estimates are uncertain. The CH4 emitted from reservoirs is microbially produced in their sediments, but at present, the rate of CH4 formation in reservoir sediments cannot be predicted from sediment characteristics, limiting our understanding of reservoir CH4 emission. Here we show through a long-term incubation experiment that the CH4 formation rate in sediments of widely different tropical reservoirs can be predicted from sediment age and total nitrogen concentration.

A volcano will not send out an official invitation when it's ready to erupt, but a team of researchers suggest that scientists who listen and watch carefully may be able to pick up signs that an eruption is about to happen.
In a study of Hawaii's Kīlauea volcano, the researchers reported that pressure changes in the volcano's summit reservoirs helped explain the number of earthquakes — or seismicity — in the upper East Rift Zone.

Researchers have developed a new method to allow for the first direct measurement of the submarine melt rate of a tidewater glacier, and, in doing so, they concluded that current theoretical models may be underestimating glacial melt by up to two orders of magnitude.
The team's findings, which could lead to improved forecasting of climate-driven sea level rise, were published in the July 26 issue of the journal Science.

Three lava flows (Buenavista, Xalitzintla and Nealtican) and pyroclastic density currents (Lorenzo and Pink Pumice) from two Popocatepetl Plinian eruptions were sampled for paleomagnetic dating. A detailed rock-magnetic characterization of the lavas, scoria clasts and pottery shards intercalated between the volcanic deposits was also carried out.

Groundwater pumping has caused stream flow in U.S. rivers to decline by as much as half over the last century, according to new research by a University of Arizona hydrologist that strengthens the connection between groundwater and surface water.
The research confirms that groundwater losses, primarily due to pumping water from below the surface for agricultural and municipal uses, decrease the overall surface water supply and have caused some smaller streams to dry up.

Scientists from SMU, The University of Texas at Austin and Stanford University found that the majority of faults underlying the Fort Worth Basin are as sensitive to forces that could cause them to slip as those that have hosted earthquakes in the past.
The new study, published July 23 by the journal Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA), provides the most comprehensive fault information for the region to date.
