CEUs available — AGI/AIPG Geoscience Online Learning Initiative (GOLI)
AIPG and American Geosciences Institute
GOLI on-demand online courses provide learners with the flexibility to self-pace their progress, since on-demand courses do not have a set schedule like traditional academic semester-based courses. Brought to you via the OpenedX Learning Management System (LMS), learners are able to browse course descriptions, enroll in specific courses, access content, and complete any course completely free of charge. All learners who complete online courses offered through the GOLI platform with a passing grade of 70% or higher are eligible to purchase Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for a nominal charge.

Sample courses:
  • An Introduction to Professional Writing for Geoscience Careers
  • Tracking Global Supply Critical Materials
  • Basics of Seismic Petroleum Exploration for New Hires
  • Best Practices in Mineral Resource Estimation & Reporting
  • Fundamentals of Professional Ethics: Elements and Examples

Soil liquefaction assessment using soft computing approaches based on capacity energy concept
Geosciences
Soil liquefaction is one of the most complicated phenomena to assess in geotechnical earthquake engineering. The conventional procedures developed to determine the liquefaction potential of sandy soil deposits can be categorized into three main groups: Stress-based, strain-based, and energy-based procedures.

Mantle evolution of Asia inferred from Pb isotopic signatures of sources for Late Phanerozoic volcanic rocks
Minerals
We present a systematic study of Pb isotope ages obtained from sources of the late Phanerozoic volcanic rocks from unstable Asia and also volcanic rocks and kimberlites from stable regions of the Siberian and Indian paleocontinents. In the mantle sources, we have recorded events of the Early, Middle, and Late epochs of the Earth’s evolution.

Sustained planetwide storms may have filled lakes, rivers on ancient Mars
University of Texas at Austin via ScienceDaily
A new study from The University of Texas at Austin is helping scientists piece together the ancient climate of Mars by revealing how much rainfall and snowmelt filled its lake beds and river valleys 3.5 billion to 4 billion years ago. The study, published in Geology, represents the first time that researchers have quantified the precipitation that must have been present across the planet, and it comes out as the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover is making its way to the red planet to land in one of the lake beds crucial to this new research.

Catastrophic failures raise alarm about dams containing muddy mine wastes
Science
Scientists, governments, environmentalists, and miners are searching for safer ways to handle muddy mine tailings. Some are trying to simply inventory the world’s tailings dams—estimates of the number range from 3500 to 21,000—and identify those most at risk of failure. A few have called for a ban on one common but failure-prone design. Others are working on regulatory and management fixes.
