For many ..., scientific research and the development of new technology are the exclusive domains of scientists and engineers. Many people have never met or had a conversation with a working scientist, and thus feel no personal connection to science at all. Face-to-face interactions between scientists and public audiences are important opportunities for improving public awareness and understanding of current research and its application. They also increase public appreciation of the individuals who work in science-based fields.
Sept. 25 and 26 — Two days of technical presentations — Schedule of presenters

The Geological Society of America
8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 21 at the Sheraton, Seneca.
Cost: $144. Limit: 40. CEUs: 0.7.
Instructor: Aaron Johnson, American Institute of Professional Geologists.
Cosponsor: American Institute of Professional Geologists.
Abstract: This course is designed to help students and professionals prepare for the Fundamentals of Geology examination administered by the Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG). Participants in this course should have senior standing in an accredited geology program or should have completed an undergraduate degree in geology or a closely related discipline. This course will focus on six primary sub disciplines covered by the Fundamentals Exam: general geology, field geology, structural geology and tectonics, mineralogy and petrology, economic geology and geochemistry, and stratigraphy. The course will focus on problem-based learning and will incorporate test-taking strategies wherever possible. Participants should bring a calculator capable of performing trigonometric functions, a laptop computer with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint software, and a means of taking/recording course notes.
Registration for the course can be completed online or by calling 1-888-443-4472. Register now — after Sept. 18 the course price will go up by $30.

The Atlantic
The weight of water can deform the Earth's crust, if there's enough of it. And we can measure that change with the ultraprecise global-positioning satellites humans have launched into orbit.
On Sept. 4, Chris Milliner of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory tweeted a simple map visualizing data from the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory. It showed that the GPS data from special stations around Houston detected that the whole area had been pushed down roughly two centimeters by the weight of the water that fell during Hurricane Harvey.

Hurricane Irma's extraordinary strength has caused a seemingly unusual meteorological phenomena: the eerie pushing of water away from shorelines in the Bahamas and the Gulf Coast of Florida. In places like Tampa and Port Charlotte, as the storm approaches from the south, strong winds blowing from the northeast have pushed water out of shallow parts of bays and harbors, according to CNN meteorologist Judson Jones.

A deadly magnitude-8.2 earthquake struck the southern coast of Mexico on Sept. 7, killing dozens of people and injuring at least 200. The tremor, which Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto said was the strongest registered in the past century, prompted mass evacuations along the country's Pacific coast. The region where the earthquake struck is one of the most active seismic zones in the country: this is where the Cocos Plate dives, or subducts, under the North American plate. But this quake was different.

Slow slip events, a type of slow motion earthquake that occurs over days to weeks, are thought to be capable of triggering larger, potentially damaging earthquakes. In a new study led by The University of Texas at Austin, scientists have documented the first clear-cut instance of the reverse — a massive earthquake immediately triggering a series of large slow slip events.

Swiss authorities have evacuated hundreds of people in the alpine glacier area of Trift in the country's south, warning of a possible glacial ice avalanche. "A large serac could collapse at any moment," the police in the canton of Valais said in a statement. Geologists have recently noticed significant movement along the "tongue" of the Trift glacier, most recently up to 130 centimeters (50 inches) in a single day, local authorities said.

Scientists have discovered traces of life more than half-a-billion years old that could change the way we think about how all animals evolved on Earth.
The international team, including palaeontologist from The University of Manchester, found a new set of trace fossils left by some of the first ever organisms capable of active movement. Trace fossils are the tracks and burrows left by living organisms, not physical remains such as bones or body parts.

Hurricane response crews from the U.S. Geological Survey installed storm-tide sensors at key locations along the Georgia and South Carolina coast in advance of Hurricane Irma. Under a mission assignment from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the USGS is currently deploying storm tide sensors, barometers and rapid deployment gauges, and is consulting with federal and state partners about the need for similar equipment for other coastal areas farther north along the coastlines.

Using a fleet of airplanes, ships and intrepid scientists, Cornell is leading the largest single deployment of seismometers along the Alaskan Peninsula — a $4.5 million endeavor that geologists from across the country hope will solve long-standing mysteries about the region and the planet.
The seismometers are scheduled to be deployed in spring 2018, with the goal of beginning data recovery efforts in summer 2019.

With a new geological model and funding raised, TSX-listed Broadway Gold Mining is planning a Phase III drill program to test multiple high-priority targets, the company announced on Sept. 7. The geological model includes four primary copper/gold porphyry exploration targets, including a variety of geophysical anomalies in four target areas.
