Oct. 24-25 at the ODNR H.R. Collins Core Laboratory Conference Room, in Delaware, Ohio.
The AIPG Ohio Section is pleased to announce an upcoming Vapor Intrusion Short Course. Vapor intrusion (VI) is the migration of undesirable chemical components into indoor airspace. Vapor intrusion into buildings is one of the primary routes of human exposure to volatile organic compounds released to the subsurface. This short course will cover VI aspects including the physical processes governing subsurface vapor transport and entry into buildings, VI assessment, monitoring and mitigation strategies, VI risk analysis, legal aspects, case studies and field demonstrations. CEUs will be available and we are working with Ohio EPA to get VAP PDHUs for Certified Professionals that attend. Topics of discussion will include:
- History of Chlorinated Solvents & Soil-gas Sampling
- Regulatory Framework
- Vapor sources
- Predicting Vapor Intrusion to Indoor Air
- Measuring Indoor Air Samples
- Data Interpretation
- Exposure/Receptor Types
- Mitigation Approaches
- Post-Mitigation Sampling & Long Term Monitoring
- Case Studies
- Community Involvement
- Legal Liability & Obligations
View the full course information here.
Register on our payment page here.
Attendance will be limited to the first 50 paid registrants so please register today!

The Future of Europe is now. The future availability of resources relies on our efforts today. The future competitiveness of our technologies and industries needs our support today. The future of our employment depends on our work today. The Future of Europe is now and INTRAW is building it today!
INTRAW's purpose is indeed to establish a long-term collaboration between the EU and other technologically advanced countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa and the United States and, together, to share knowledge that will be used as a baseline to launch the International Raw Materials Observatory as a definitive raw materials knowledge management infrastructure, on 7/11.
The Observatory will work on the future of Europe, supported by a sustainable use of its ressources and, today, INTRAW has already come up with three scenarios for the state of Raw Materials management in the EU in the year 2050. Enjoy this journey back to the Future!

At the AIPG National Executive Committee Meeting, on Jan. 21, in Orlando, Florida, the Executive Committee authorized the formation of a new member category and professional title designated the Nationally Licensed Geologist or NLG. It is hoped that this new title will be recognized by the ASBOG states as a means by which NLGs can more quickly obtain permanent or temporary licenses to practice in those states that license geologists in the U.S.
The requirements for the NLG member category will include:
- Certification as a Professional Geologist by AIPG (holding the CPG credential).
- Successful passage of both the fundamentals and professional practice parts of the ASBOG exam.
- Mandatory participation in AIPG’s continuing professional development (CPD) program and the logging of at least 16 hours of CPD each year, including 1 hour devoted to professional ethics.
These requirements are intended to meet or exceed the most rigorous state regulations for geologist licensure in the United States.
Details regarding the new member category will be available in the next issue of TPG. There will be a session at the AIPG National Annual Conference discussing the new member category "Nationally Licensed Geologist."

At the AIPG National Executive Committee Meeting, on June 24, in Denver, the Executive Committee authorized changes to the Bylaws and Code of Ethics. There were changes made to member categories, the CPD program and reinstatement.

The total rainfall from Tropical Storm Harvey is likely to tally up to a widespread 15 to 30 inches, with a few localized spots picking up 50 inches or more. Many textbooks have the 60-inch mark as a once-in-a-million-year recurrence interval. So far, just the rain that has already fallen across the greater Houston area and Southeast Texas tallies to 9 trillion gallons. And 5 trillion to 10 trillion additional gallons could fall before things wrap up midweek.

Scientists at Lomonosov Moscow State University have uncovered the secrets behind the critical stage of fracture in rock destruction.
The researchers revealed a criterion that can help predict the stage of fracture when rock destruction occurs and determine the stages of deformation are different in the character of defect accumulation inside rocks.

Seismologists investigating how Earth forms new continental crust have compiled more than 20 years of seismic data from a wide swath of South America's Andean Plateau and determined that processes there have produced far more continental rock than previously believed.

New projections from the U.S. Geological Survey indicate Hurricane Harvey is likely to cause significant beach erosion along the Texas coastline, with water overtopping dunes and in some cases inundating areas. As of Aug. 25, the USGS Coastal Change Forecast model is predicting that 94 percent of Texas's 367 miles of coastline will undergo some level of beach erosion from the storm surge and large waves Hurricane Harvey will produce.

Coral skeletons are the building blocks of diverse coral reef ecosystems, which has led to increasing concern over how these key species will cope with warming and acidifying oceans that threaten their stability. New research provides evidence that at least one species of coral, Stylophora pistillata, and possibly others, build their hard, calcium carbonate skeletons faster, and in bigger pieces, than previously thought.

Scientists at MIT have found that ancient Earth had a viscous mantle that was 200 degrees Celsius hotter than present day.
The study, published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, found that the Earth's ancient crust was made up of a much denser, iron- and magnesium-enriched material than today's rocky mantle.

For about 30 years, the very ground around Maca, in Southern Peru, has been in retreat. Some 60 million cubic meters of earth — the equivalent of more than 20,000 Olympic swimming pools — are slinking their way to the valley floor and taking part of the town with them.
