This webinar series is designed for water utility superintendents and managers who may be considering the development of bedrock wells for sources of supply. It also provides additional information and insights to those currently operating bedrock wells. Consulting engineers, public health professionals and regulatory officials will also find this webinar series of interest.

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. Download the case study.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and Attorney General Curtis Hill approved the following Indiana LPG fee increases that will go into effect January 1, 2020:
- Three-year license renewals for Professional Geologists will be $150.00. All licenses that are due for renewal January 1, 2020 or after will be billed at the new fee.
- Any renewal payments made electronically or postmarked January 1, 2020 or after will be required to pay the new fee even if the renewal date was December 31, 2019 or earlier.
- The non-refundable fee to apply for licensing will be $160. This fee includes the first 3 years of licensing if the application is approved by the Indiana LPG Board.

The "Geoscientists Employment Survey" conducted by the European Federation of Geologists (EFG) aims at analysing the labour market for geologists in Europe and beyond, addressing among others the following questions: In which industries do professional geologists work? Do their activities relate to their training? Do they exploit job opportunities in other countries? What are the prospects for the future?
To help us produce a comprehensive report about the evolution of our profession, we invite you to share information about your professional situation via our survey that is accessible here.
Answering the survey takes approximately 10 minutes and the deadline for participation is Oct. 31.

Dr. Rasoul Sorkhabi of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and a member of the AIPG is conducting a survey on "Geoscience: The Most Important Problems" for an article. He requests each geoscientist to suggest 1-5 most important problems that remain to be resolved in our field. These need to be general scientific problems not very specific regional geology. Your answer need not be very detailed; just a simple clear line for each question will suffice. Please send your reply to rsorkhabi@egi.utah.edu.

Hurricanes are one thing. Earthquakes are another. But these hazardous events aren't mutually exclusive, and sometimes one can even feed the other.
In a new study, scientists have identified what they say is a new geophysical phenomenon entirely unknown to science — a hybrid entity where powerful storms such as hurricanes trigger seismic episodes that can rumble for hours or even days.
The findings are reported in Geophysical Research Letters.

Earth-like planets may be common in the universe, a new UCLA study implies. The team of astrophysicists and geochemists presents new evidence that the Earth is not unique. The study was published in the journal Science on Oct. 18.

A multiproxy study of the sediment cores taken from the Snorri Drift, formed under the influence of the Iceland–Scotland bottom contour current, and from the Gloria Drift, located southward Greenland at the boundary of Irminger and Labrador Seas, was performed. This area undergoes a variable mixing of polar waters with the warm North Atlantic current, whose intensity and direction seemed to change dramatically with the alteration of warming and cooling periods during the six marine isotope stages MIS 1-6.

Rockbursts are sudden and violent rock failures that can lead to huge production and equipment losses, injury or death of mining workers. Buckling has been regarded as one of the key mechanisms of rockbursts, which are often induced by dynamic loads from mining excavations, such as drilling and blasting in underground mining. The paper attempts to investigate the dynamic buckling mechanism of pillar rockbursts in underground mining, by considering rockbursts as a dynamic stability problem of underground rock structures.

Shallow submarine volcanoes are difficult to study as they are often remote; this can make data acquisition difficult and costly. The interaction between magma and surface water is also complex. It can create violent explosions, but because these interactions are so inaccessible, researchers don't really understand the entire process. Furthermore, these explosions can also pose risks to nearby ships and planes.
To better understand these processes, researchers installed low-frequency microphones around the Bogoslof volcano.

Since 2016, the researchers of the Department of Geology at Tallinn University of Technology have been engaged in a research project analyzing the causes of Silurian biodiversity crisis. The findings of the study are summarized in the article "Linking the progressive expansion of reducing conditions to a stepwise mass extinction event in the late Silurian oceans," published recently in the journal Geology.

Some time in mid- to late November, geophysicist David Eaton will head into the forests around Fort St. John, Canada, and help to nestle an array of 15 seismometers onto the ground. They will spend their days listening for small earthquakes caused by oil and gas exploration in this part of British Columbia. If Eaton has his way, the seismometers will soon be joined by hundreds more, blanketing Canada as part of an unprecedented quest to probe the nation's geology.
