This webinar provides insight into the technical writing skills that are needed by geoscience students pursuing careers in the environmental consulting industry. Speakers discuss skills that are developed during undergraduate or graduate academic training, types of written products that are developed by geoscientists in the environmental consulting industry, training and professional development opportunities for improving and expanding writing skills and advice for students on how to acquire the needed writing skills as they prepare for and pursue their career path.

An in-situ colloidal activated carbon barrier is treating PFAS at an Army National Guard site in Michigan. Colloidal activated carbon was selected because it rapidly reduces PFAS by removal from the dissolved mobile phase, and results in lower total project costs when compared to operating a mechanical system.

Contaminants from volcanic eruptions leach into water at different rates depending on the shape of the volcanic ash particles, according to new research that could enhancing scientists' ability to predict water quality risk in volcanically active regions.

The 2018 collapse of the Anak Krakatau volcano, which triggered deadly tsunamis, was preceded by several early warning signs, according to a new study. The latest survey of ground-based measurements, as well as data collected by drones and satellites, revealed increased temperatures and ground movement along the volcano's southwestern flank a few months before the catastrophe.

Geologists from the Russian Academy of Science and the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris in France measured the orientations of tiny magnetised particles in rock samples from northeastern Siberia.
The source was a set of crumbling cliffs overlooking the Khorbusuonka River — a legacy of a time 500 million years ago when the region's landscape was covered in water. Their new research was published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters.

The Marcellus and Point Pleasant-Utica Shale plays in the Appalachian Basin contain an estimated mean of 214 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered, technically recoverable continuous resources of natural gas, according to new U.S. Geological Survey assessments.
The latest USGS data is more than 75% higher than the previous USGS study, which estimated the Marcellus held 84 Tcf in 2011, and the Utica in 2012 held a mean of 38 Tcf.

Minerals
Since the Industrial Revolution, levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have been constantly growing, producing an increase in the average global temperature. One of the options for Carbon Capture and Storage is mineral carbonation. The results of this process of fixing are the safest in the long term, but the main obstacle for mineral carbonation is the ability to do it economically in terms of both money and energy cost. The present study outlines a methodological sequence to evaluate the possibility for the carbonation of ceramic construction waste (brick, concrete, tiles) under surface conditions for a short period of time.

In order to take far-field translational tilts into account during studying the reservoir flow process of CO2 injection, a group of tiltmeters was installed as an array covering an estimate range of ground spreading from the injection well. The measurements were applicable to ground deformations during a fracturing stimulation treatment, a short-term test of CO2 injection into relatively shallow coal seams and a CO2 injection into deep saline aquifer.

A single strand of DNA. The toxic pollutants in a waft of air. A paint sample from a priceless work of art. Flakes of a Martian meteorite. That's only a smattering of what scientists will be able to examine with the new microscope — an atomic force-Raman microscope, to be exact — now housed in the University of Delaware's Lammot du Pont Laboratory.
