The Foundation of the American Institute of Professional Geologists supports a variety of programs of the American Institute of Professional Geologists that include student scholarships, educational programs aimed at practitioners, the public, and policy makers and, on occasion, some special needs requested by AIPG. The Foundation is engaged in exclusively educational, scholarship, and research programs. The Foundation may also support public information forums, public education meetings, teacher seminars and geological seminars for other professionals such as engineers, architects, planners and others; thus coordinating the expertise of several professions for a better understanding of the geosciences and global issues. The Foundation is proud to be able to serve AIPG and the geosciences by providing financial support for these programs.
The Foundation is working to meet a donation goal of at least $25,000 by the end of 2017 to help fund student scholarships and programs for students and young professionals in 2018. We ask that you consider supporting the Foundation with a monetary contribution that would be used primarily to fund our scholarship and young professional initiatives, and other Foundation programs as well. The Foundation relies on the support of generous donors. As you renew your AIPG membership or are making charitable donations this year, we hope you will include a donation to the Foundation. Donations of $25, $50, $100 or more will greatly help us reach our year-end goal. Your donation will be acknowledged by name in future editions of The Professional Geologist magazine and on the Foundation web page.
Information about donations is on the Foundation web page of the AIPG website. You may donate on-line or send your donation check by mail to: Foundation of AIPG
12000 Washington St., Suite 285
Thornton, CO 80241-3134.
If you have any questions or comments about the Foundation, please contact me for additional information.
Thank you for your support of the Foundation so the Foundation may support AIPG and the geosciences.

A group of scientists said that the scope of human impact on planet Earth is so great that the "Anthropocene" warrants a formal place in the Geological Time Scale.
"Our findings suggest that the Anthropocene should follow on from the Holocene Epoch that has seen 11.7 thousand years of relative environmental stability, since the retreat of the last Ice Age, as we enter a more unstable and rapidly evolving phase of our planet's history," said professor Jan Zalasiewicz from the University of Leicester's School of Geography, Geology and the Environment, in a statement released recently.

As the Ineos Intrepid cruised slowly through the sapphire waters of Norway's Frierfjord, chaperone tugboats sprayed jets into the sky to herald her arrival. In giant refrigerated tanks below decks, the ship carried 27,500 cubic meters of liquid ethane — enough to fill 11 Olympic swimming pools. Intrepid also brought a message, painted in giant capital letters along her side: “SHALE GAS FOR PROGRESS.”

Mars famously has the largest volcanoes known to science. The largest is Olympus Mons, pictured below, which towers 22 km above the surrounding plains — over two and a half times taller than Mount Everest. This extinct volcano is 640 km wide even at its narrowest point, greater than the distance between London and Glasgow, or Los Angeles and San Francisco. And Olympus Mons isn’t alone in the Earth-beating stakes — three other Martian volcanoes are more than 10 km high.

If you traveled back in time 3.5 billion years and looked up at the night sky, you would have seen an atmosphere around the moon. Though today it retains only a few tenuous wisps of atmosphere, new calculations show that massive volcanic eruptions released enough hot gas to create one that took 70 million years to leak away.

High primary productivity in the equatorial Atlantic and Pacific oceans is one of the key features of tropical ocean bio-geochemistry and fuels a substantial flux of particulate matter towards the abyssal ocean. How biological processes and equatorial current dynamics shape the particle size distribution and flux, however, is poorly understood. Here we use high-resolution size-resolved particle imaging and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data to assess these influences in equatorial oceans.

Concentric rings found on a type of marine algae are growth bands similar to those in the cross-section of tree trunks, Australian researchers have discovered.
A team led by Guillermo Diaz-Pulido of Griffith University in Queensland reports in the journal PLOS One that the coralline algae known as Porolithon onkodes, found on the Great Barrier Reef, produces “skeletal banding” as a result of the annual activity cycle of their reproductive chambers.
