European Federation of Geologists
The European Federation of Geologists, the umbrella body for professional geoscience organisations in Europe, has released a new video "EFG: a Federation working for You." It is designed to present the many and various fields in which its members are active, and the importance of EFG's mission and activities. The EFG has also relaunched its website.
INTRAW
The H2020-funded INTRAW project aims at establishing a long-term collaboration between the EU and other technologically advanced countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa and the United States and, together, to share knowledge that will be used as a baseline to launch the International Raw Materials Observatory as a definitive raw materials knowledge management infrastructure, on Nov. 7.
The Observatory will work on the future of Europe, supported by a sustainable use of its ressources and, today, INTRAW has already come up with three scenarios for the state of Raw Materials management in the EU in the year 2050.
Resources for Future Generations 2018
The rapid growth of developing economies and the fundamental needs of many disadvantaged people across the globe are resulting in an increased demand for many resources and changes in the delivery of existing ones. The need for focused environmental priorities and new technologies will add additional requirements and constraints. The International Union of Geological Sciences, the Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences, the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, the Geological Association of Canada and the Mineralogical Association of Canada are partnering to bring industry, academia and governments together to tackle this growing issue. The Resources for Future Generations conference (RFG2018) takes its theme from a new IUGS initiative of the same name designed to mobilize geoscientists, policy-makers and other stakeholders to explore resource and related sustainability issues

Topological water currents could exist in Earth's oceans, according to physicists in the France and the U.S. The team has made a connection between the physics that gives topological insulators their unusual properties and Kelvin and Yanai waves — which exist in the oceans and atmosphere and are involved in regular variations of the Earth's climate system.

Mud in the Earth's mantle is melting, according to researchers from geology department at Curtin, who teamed up with universities from South Africa, the United Kingdom and UWA. After a trip to the United Arab Emirates and Oman, geologists discovered that mud from the ocean floor moves into the mantle and then forms granite. Research into this mud is increasing our understanding of how the Earth's rock cycle works.

Lava from the Kilauea volcano's episode 61g flow continues to enter the ocean at Kamokuna, scientists say, and intermittent lava flows over the cliff and onto the lava delta, or "lavafalls," have been reported.
Recent breakouts near the edge of the cliff have been spilling onto the lava delta for the past few weeks, resurfacing almost the entire area of the delta.

While tsunamis and storms are very different events, they look surprisingly similar in the geologic records scientists rely on for a long-term understanding of their frequency. According to a paper published Oct. 11 in the journal Science Advances, that has allowed a huge number of storms to masquerade as tsunamis, and it could be warping our sense of the risks we face.

There was an eerie red glow hovering over England on Oct. 16 as the sun turned blood red while the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia slammed into the country.
Meteorologists say the unusual phenomenon was caused by strong winds pulling up dust from the Sahara. The dust particles in the air caused shorter wavelength blue light to scatter, allowing longer wavelength red light to shine through.

Titan, the largest of Saturn's more than 60 moons, has surprisingly intense rainstorms, according to research by a team of UCLA planetary scientists and geologists. Although the storms are relatively rare — they occur less than once per Titan year, which is 29 and a half Earth years — they occur much more frequently than the scientists expected.

Ancient fossils of a whale species thought to be found only in southern waters have been discovered at northern sites in Japan and Italy. The pygmy right whale Caperea marginata is a mystery in almost every regard. It's the world's smallest whale (up to 6.5 meters long), the only whale able to see color, and its skeleton features enormous, overlapping ribs that give it the appearance of a tank.
