August 16, 2022 — Webinar: Some Interesting Swedish Ore Deposits: A Survey of the Geology and Importance of the Mineral Deposits of Bergslagen
AIPG
Abstract
In the seventeenth century, Sweden became for 100 years one of the great powers of Europe. Her expansion was funded from the profits of her Iron and Copper mines in the Bergslagen District of central Sweden and by exports of tar and timber. This presentation will discuss the regional geology of Bergslagen and the detailed geology and ore genesis of some of the most famous mines: Dannemora (Fe), Falun (Cu), Zinkgruva (Zn, Pb, Ag), as well as of the Alum Shale, whose exploitation helped Sweden survive the Second World War. I will also discuss the roles of the State, Walloon immigrants, and the Swedish environment in facilitating the success of these industries.
Cost: Members - $10, Non-Members - $25, AIPG Student Members - free
Earn 0.1 CEU / 1 PDH for attending! Certificates will be emailed after the webinar.

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 Arabian plate is holding steady
Phys.org
A comprehensive study suggests the Arabian plate is geologically stable and capable of withstanding long-term forces from surrounding tectonic activity.
To better understand the earthquake hazards facing the Arabian Peninsula, KAUST researchers have completed a comprehensive analysis of motion measurements for the entire Arabian tectonic plate.

Meteorite provides record of asteroids 'spitting out' pebbles
ScienceDaily
In 2019, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft sent back images of a geological phenomenon no one had ever seen before: pebbles were flying off the surface of the asteroid Bennu. The asteroid appeared to be shooting off swarms of marble-sized rocks. Scientists had never seen this behavior from an asteroid before, and it's a mystery exactly why it happens. But in a new paper in Nature Astronomy, researchers show the first evidence of this process in a meteorite.

New climate deal spurs hopes of more carbon storage projects
Phys.org
The rolling prairie lands of northeastern Wyoming have been a paradise of lush, knee-deep grass for sheep, cattle and pronghorn antelope this summer.
But it's a different green — greener energy — that geologist Fred McLaughlin seeks as he drills nearly two miles (3.2 kilometers) into the ground, far deeper than the thick coal seams that make this the top coal-mining region in the United States.

Evidence that giant meteorite impacts created the continents
ScienceDaily
New Curtin research has provided the strongest evidence yet that Earth's continents were formed by giant meteorite impacts that were particularly prevalent during the first billion years or so of our planet's four-and-a-half-billion year history.
Dr Tim Johnson, from Curtin's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, said the idea that the continents originally formed at sites of giant meteorite impacts had been around for decades, but until now there was little solid evidence to support the theory.

Antarctica's ice shelves could be melting faster than we thought
EurekAlert!
A new model developed by Caltech and JPL researchers suggests that Antarctica's ice shelves may be melting at an accelerated rate, which could eventually contribute to more rapid sea level rise. The model accounts for an often-overlooked narrow ocean current along the Antarctic coast and simulates how rapidly flowing freshwater, melted from the ice shelves, can trap dense warm ocean water at the base of the ice, causing it to warm and melt even more.
