An Overview of new SEC mining disclosure standard: S-K 1300
AIPG
November 1, 2022 — AIPG Lunch & Earn CEUs Monthly Webinar Series — Overview of new SEC mining disclosure standard: S-K 1300 — Disclosure by Registrants Engaged in Mining Operations, presenter: Dr. Greg Gosson.
- What has changed from the old Industry Guide 7
- Why the mining disclosure standard was changed
- Brief overview of the S-K 1300 disclosure rules
- Who the new rule applies to
- Defined mining terms within the new rule — closer alignment to the definitions in the CRIRSCO family of reporting codes, but some important differences
- Qualified Person requirement — meeting the definition
- Technical Report Summary — when it is triggered, content requirements, how it compares to NI 43-101 Technical Report
- Summary disclosure requirements on all mineral properties
- Individual property disclosure requirements on all material mineral properties
- What is required under Item 1305 Internal Controls Disclosure — it is not meant to be just a discussion of QAQC

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.

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.

Study shows tectonics to be main driver of hillslope 'connectivity'
Phys.org
Chances are good that most people reading this are situated on a hillslope, as hillslopes cover some 90% of the Earth's landmass.
Hillslopes are critical landscape features that move water from ridges down to valleys, transport sediments and nutrients, and link terrestrial ecosystems with aquatic ones — facets of a hillslope's "connectivity."

Geologic activity lets microbes mingle deep underground
Scientific American
Even a mile underground, our planet is teeming with microbes. Scientists long assumed that these subterranean microbial communities, which dwell in aquifers and geothermal wells, saw little ecological change. But recent research suggests that their populations are actually quite dynamic, shifting species composition within days rather than centuries — and geologic activity, such as when rocks split from compression or expansion, could be behind such changes.

DNA gives colloidal crystals shape-shifting and memory abilities
ScienceDaily
Northwestern University researchers have uncovered a previously unknown property of colloidal crystals, highly ordered three-dimensional arrays of nanoparticles.
The team engineered colloidal crystals with complementary strands of DNA and found that dehydration crumpled the crystals, breaking down the DNA hydrogen bonds. But when researchers added water, the crystals bounced back to their original state within seconds.

Seismic sensing reveals flood damage potential
EurekAlert!
Rapidly evolving floods are a major and growing hazard worldwide. Currently, their onset and evolution is hard to identify using existing systems. However, seismic sensors already in place to detect earthquakes could be a solution to this problem. Researchers led by the University of Göttingen show that a seismometer can sense a flood, such as the devastating one that hit Germany in July 2021, up to 1.5 km away.

5.1 earthquake hits during Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano unrest
Phys.org
A magntitude-5.1 earthquake struck Friday on Hawaii's Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano on the planet that scientists say is in a "state of heightened unrest." People across the Big Island reported feeling light shaking from the temblor.
Hawaii County Mayor Mitch Roth said there was no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
At least eight smaller aftershocks followed the quake in the Kau Forest Reserve near the island's southeastern town of Pahala, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
