2023 AIPG President's Message and Dues Renewal
AIPG
Dear Fellow AIPG Member:
I suspect that you may be surprised to find that AIPG's Executive Committee has decided not to raise the National dues for 2023. It was not a decision made lightly, and there was plenty of debate about the 2023 budget and how the Institute can carry out its mission and activities during these uncertain times. AIPG is not financially robust because our primary income (membership dues) do not cover our annual budget; in fact, we’re in the same waters as other geologic organizations. Everyone is feeling the burden of increasing prices. Your leadership looked at both sides of the argument and there is sound reasoning for a bump upward in dues (it has been three years since the last increase and inflation has moved from a creep to a sprint) and for staying the course (those who are cost-sensitive are going to be less likely to renew their dues). The motion to keep the same dues’ structure that we’ve had since 2020 passed, with the burden of developing a balanced budget that will be implemented in 2023.

AIPG Mentoring Program
AIPG
AIPG believes mentoring is integral to encouraging geoscientists throughout their careers. This can include discussions on many different topics, including but not limited to:
- specific geoscience topics or questions
- education and experience required for specific career tracks
- any geoscience topic of interest
- geoscience employment search
- selecting the best-suited geoscience career track
- work abroad experiences in geosciences
AIPG is setting up this mentor site to encourage one-on-one AIPG-member discussions. We encourage the mentor and mentee to include others in their discussions and research as needed. A mentor may or may not have applicable experience or knowledge related to a mentee's area of interest, but the mentor will help find information and/or an alternate mentor.
AIPG Members interested in becoming a Mentor can submit the online Mentor form.

Culture and Ethics of Geologic Sampling Survey
AIPG
This survey is being conducted on behalf of the Geological Society of America (GSA) to increase understanding of geologists' attitudes about, and practices of, geologic sampling.
The topic is especially important in this time of increased pressures on natural systems, decreased accessibility to field sites, degradation of irreplaceable geological resources, and raised international awareness of the importance of geoheritage, geodiversity, and geoconservation. Responsible sampling is essential to protecting important geoheritage sites, being respectful of indigenous cultures, and in consideration of other societal issues.
Students and professionals at all career stages are invited to take this 15- to 20-minute survey. All responses will be submitted anonymously. The results will be presented in aggregated form at the 2022 GSA Annual Meeting forum on Culture and Ethics of Geological Sampling at noon on October 10 and presented to GSA with recommendations for community-based guidelines for ethical and responsible geological sampling into the future.
The survey can be accessed here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/geologic-sampling. Respondents are asked to complete the survey by September 15. As an incentive, at the end of the survey each respondent has the option to enter a raffle for a $50 GSA Bookstore credit.
The survey is co-sponsored by the American Geophysical Union, the American Geosciences Institute, the International Association for Promoting Geoethics, the Mineralogical Society of America, the National Association of Geoscience Teachers, and the U.S. National Committee for the International Union of Geological Sciences.

November 16 — Oklahoma and the Energy Transition — OGS Workshop 2022
AIPG
The Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) is hosting a workshop on the role of Oklahoma in the national energy transition. Since before statehood, Oklahoma has been one of the most consequential regions for energy production globally, and today its economy is still deeply connected to extractions of energy minerals. The workshop will explore opportunities and challenges specific to Oklahoma and the midcontinent region presented by the national mandate for an energy diverse, lower-carbon future.

What scientists learned about a Bay Area fault that could unleash a magnitude 6.9 earthquake
SFGate
A new study shines a light on a system of earthquake faults in the San Francisco Bay Area that most residents don't even know exists. The Foothill Thrust Belt faults are deep under Silicon Valley, and researchers at Stanford found they're capable of generating a magnitude 6.9 earthquake every 250 to 300 years. To put a magnitude 6.9 earthquake in perspective, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake measured this magnitude.

Scientists identify the source of the planet Ceres' unexpected geological activity
SciTechDaily
According to Scott King, a geoscientist at the Virginia Tech College of Science, our view of Ceres has been hazy for a very long time. In previous telescopic scans from Earth, Ceres, a dwarf planet and the largest body in the asteroid belt, which is the area between Jupiter and Mars where hundreds of thousands of asteroids are scattered, Ceres had no distinguishable surface features.

Satellites capture massive drainage of proglacial lake in remote Patagonia
EurekAlert!
Only satellites were watching when the world's fourth-largest proglacial lake suddenly drained in 2020. Hokkaido University researchers now uncovered the event and analysed the cause — the collapse of a sediment bump at the outlet of the lake.
Proglacial lakes form when meltwater from retreating glaciers is trapped by ice or by a moraine left behind by the same or another glacier.
