Oct. 24 and 25
ODNR H.R. Collins Core Laboratory Conference Room, 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
Please view the full course information here.
Please register on our payment page here.
Attendance will be limited to the first 50 paid registrants, so please register today!

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.

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.

So far, we don't know much about the world's disputed "lost continent," but a group of scientists set out to change that. For two months, a team of 32 scientists from the International Ocean Discovery Program explored a region — being called Zealandia — that lies just east of Australia. Zealandia for many years it sat unknown, at depths ranging from 8,000 to 13,000 feet below the sea. The researchers collected a host of data, including by drilling into seabed, retrieving 8,202 feet of sediment cores. In these cores, the team found records of life in the region dating back millions of years.

For more than 40 years, the USGS has been operating a rock core and cuttings repository which preserves these scientifically valuable geologic resources and makes them available for study by all interested parties. The USGS Core Research Center (CRC), located in Denver, Colorado has amassed a collection of rock cores from more than 9,000 wells, and cuttings from more than 52,000 wells.

The vestiges of life in Eoarchean rocks have the potential to elucidate the origin of life. However, gathering evidence from many terrains is not always possible and biogenic graphite has thus far been found only in the 3.7–3.8 Ga (gigayears ago) Isua supracrustal belt. Here we present the total organic carbon contents and carbon isotope values of graphite and carbonate in the oldest metasedimentary rocks from northern Labrador, Canada.

A lunar-sized impactor likely struck Earth only a few tens of millions of years after its formation, but sometime after the colossal Mars-sized Earth-impactor thought to be responsible for the formation of our planet's own moon. This later lunar-sized impactor, dubbed "Moneta," and its metal core's subsequent dismemberment — first into 10 meter-sized iron blobs, and then as a rain of millimeter-sized metal droplets — helps explain the anomalous precious metal-rich makeup of Earth's mantle and crust.

When you're investigating complex questions, you've often got to dig deep to find answers. A group of UC Santa Barbara geologists and their colleagues studying tsunamis did exactly that. The team used ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to search for physical evidence of a large tsunami that pounded the Northern California coast near Crescent City some 900 years ago.

With two months to go in one of the busiest hurricane seasons in recent memory, the National Weather Service is facing a different kind of problem: a shortage of meteorologists.
The NWS had 216 unfilled positions going into the season, according to a new document obtained by the Sierra Club through a Freedom of Information Act request and shared with ABC News. About 100 of those positions were in meteorology.

It's been a mystery why Earth is low on silver, lead and other elements relative to the rest of the solar system. The answer might be that these elements boiled away during collisions with asteroids that turned our planet into a ball of molten rock.
