The Geological Society of America
How does geologic mapping underpin our research and help solve pressing societal issues? How are expectations changing on what a map can do? What new innovative technologies are at the forefront of geologic mapping? During the morning of Oct. 25, please join the discussion at GSA in Seattle at the Pardee Symposium, "Earth Anatomy Revealed: Geologic Mapping for Our Future." The discussion will feature leaders from across the geoscience community including the U.S. Geological Survey Director, senior leaders from national organizations and state geological surveys, experts from user communities, and innovation leaders.
Co-Convener moderating — Darcy McPhee, National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program,
U.S. Geological Survey, dmcphee@usgs.gov.

Currently offered:
Harriet Evelyn Wallace Scholarship for Female Graduate Geoscience Students
The Harriet Evelyn Wallace Scholarship is available for female students pursuing a Master's or Doctoral degree at an accredited institution of higher education in a recognized geoscience program. The scholarship is a merit-based award, which is $5,000 per year. Successful applicants who become Wallace Scholars are eligible to apply a second time for an additional $5,000 as long as they continue to be full time graduate students in their geoscience degree programs. The second applications will be considered competitively among all applicants for that year.
Current Status: Applications for the 2018-2019 academic year will be open starting Oct. 11. To read about applying for the Harriet Evelyn Wallace Scholarship, please visit our applications page.
Previously offered:
Deep Carbon Observatory Diversity Grant
AGI received funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to support traditionally underrepresented geoscientists to become actively engaged in the Deep Carbon Observatory (DCO) Science Community. Qualified candidates' research interests must have aligned with DCO mission objectives. The grants were flexible in nature and were an average of $5,000. AGI is pleased to announce the completion of this program. We have awarded grants to 14 traditionally underrepresented geoscientists to participate in the DCO Science Network. Please visit our application page for more information about how the program was structured.
AGI would like to congratulate the 2016 awardees of the DCO Diversity Grants!
Minority Participation Program Scholarship (MPP)
MPP began in 1972 with the goal to develop the professional corps of underrepresented ethnic-minority geoscientists in the workforce. Award recipients received funding for professional development activities during their geoscience degree program. It has been the longest running minority program in the geosciences, which has graduated over 1,000 MPP Scholars. Unfortunately, the program has ended. We would like to celebrate the great success that MPP has had over the years. For inquiries about MPP, please contact the scholarship coordinator at mpp@agiweb.org.

Resources for Future Generations
Resources for Future Generations 2018 features a technical program that will be shared over four full days in 24 parallel rooms, with more than 200 sessions and 2,000 presentations. Want to know just how committed they are to a sustainable future? Unearth what RFG2018 is all about with these thought-provoking vlogs.
Registration is now open.
Resources for Future Generations
Fundamental to human civilization is a stable source of energy. Basic needs include heat, electricity and transportation. Clothing, infrastructure (think steel beams), data centers and just about anything else you need or use in your daily life also require energy.
RFG2018 will provide the opportunity for dialogue around the fundamentals of how society can tackle the challenges of creating sustainable energy supplies. Sessions will include geothermal and fossil fuel sources, as well as supply and distribution of the metals required for "clean" energy (e.g. copper, etc.).
Read more about this in the latest Resources for Future Generations newsletter reSource.
Visit www.rfg2018.org or contact info@rfg2018.org for all information or to register.

In 2009, federal legislation was passed to protect fossil resources during ground-disturbing efforts. Are you managing a construction project that requires fossil resource protection? ZGC can provide desktop analyses, pedestrian survey and on-site monitoring and appropriate language for the project EA, EIS or Resource Report.

Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides and other events can trigger seismic waves that travel through Earth. Smaller triggers, such as road traffic or rivers, can produce quieter, ambient waves. No matter the wave's source, changes in the velocity of seismic waves can reveal key mechanical characteristics of the shallow geological structures they pass through.

A new study published Sept. 21 in Science suggests the first techtonic shifts transpired more than 3.5 billion years ago. Not only does the finding tell scientists the color of the world's early beaches, it might help them understand when tectonic plates started to wake up and shuffle around.

The Associated Press via U.S. News & World Report
The soft soil that lines the ancient lake bed that Mexico City is built on amplified the shaking from the Sept. 19 earthquake and increased its destructive force, seismologists say as they try to better understand the quake that has killed more than 200 people.
Scientists are looking at other quirks of the magnitude 7.1 earthquake, including the absence of aftershocks and if it is somehow related to a distant, even stronger, Mexican temblor that struck a dozen days earlier.

Researchers have shown for the first time how hyperspectral analysis (analysing waves beyond the visible light spectrum) can be used to effectively and non-destructively map out minerals within fossil coral samples.

Nuclear waste repositories are not known for curb appeal. Yet they are unpleasant necessities for enlightened nations seeking to stow the waste of one of the only relatively carbon-neutral fuels on Earth. Sweden has begun exploring the geological solution to nuclear pollution by probing its own bedrock. At nearly 2,500 feet below ground at Test Borehole KLX09, about a mile from the Baltic Sea in southeastern Sweden, engineers and geologists recently encountered something that must have shocked them.

Buried deep off New Zealand's coasts lie hundreds of volcanoes, which geologists believe could offer rich, untapped resources. While we know little about them, they have a profound influence on how sediment and water moves around our ocean floor, and on the thermal environment of sedimentary basins found beneath the sea.

In 2021, an international consortium of space agencies plans to launch the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) research satellite mission. This satellite mission will make the first global survey of Earth's surface water to serve the hydrology and oceanography communities.
NASA and the French space agency Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES) are leading the mission, with participation from the Canadian and U.K. space agencies.

Thousands of people on Indonesia's Bali Island are taking shelter in sports centers, village halls and other temporary shelters amid warnings that Mount Agung could erupt for the first time in more than 50 years. Tourists and residents have been warned not to camp or hike within a 9 kilometer-radius of the crater after smoke was seen rising from the volcano and seismic tremors were felt in the region.
