Place: The Morton Arboretum 4100 Illinois Route 53, Lisle, Illinois
Featuring Three Guest Speakers
- Dr. James Clark, PhD Professor of Geology, Wheaton College Professor Clark will discuss the inexpensive geophysical instruments he and others have developed and used for cost-effective siting of water wells in developing nations!
- Mr. Greg Dunn, LPG IEPA Manager, LUST Section and SRP Remedial Project Management Section Greg will bring us up to date on the current administration, indoor inhalation modeling, restarting the Brownfields RLF Program and other LUST & SRP tidbits!
- Mr. Harvey Pokorny, LPG, CPG NAVFAC Midwest Great Lakes and AIPG Illinois Chapter Board Member Harvey will illustrate the geographic and developmental history of Sheridan Beach along the Indiana Lake Michigan shoreline, using a collection of plat maps, artist renditions, aerials and photographs! You can visit www.mortonarb.org for directions.
When arriving at the Arboretum, tell the gate attendant you are attending the AIPG meeting and you will not be charged the entrance fee. This event is free and open to the community practicing in the geological sciences in Illinois and Indiana (non-member donations are requested). A light dinner and cash bar will be provided. Please RSVP to Craig McCammack at cmccammack@v3co.com or 630-936-0332.

The American Geosciences Institute is accepting applications for the 2018 Edward C. Roy, Jr. Award for Excellence in Earth Science Teaching.
Given annually, this award is presented to one teacher of grades K-8 in the United States or Key Stages 1-3 in the United Kingdom each year. The award recognizes leadership and innovation in Earth science education.
The winner of the Edward C. Roy Award will receive a cash prize and an additional travel grant to attend the National Science Teachers Association Annual Conference in Atlanta in March 2018. To be eligible, applications must be submitted by Jan. 22, 2018.
The Edward C. Roy Award is given in honor of Dr. Edward C. Roy, Jr., a strong and dedicated supporter of Earth science education. A past president of AGI and former chair of the AGI Education Advisory Committee, Roy was a lifelong supporter of teachers and students of all ages.

For geologists, developing the ability to predict earthquakes is something like finding the Holy Grail — there's a chance it's impossible, but it sure would be nice. As is so often the case, a good starting point for forecasting the future is understanding the past, and that's why a group of Canadian and American scientists recently spent 20 days on a ship off the West Coast, collecting samples from the seafloor far below.

The North Korean mountain used for the underground testing of nuclear weapons might be suffering from "tired mountain syndrome," according to experts studying satellite photos of the test site. "Tired mountain syndrome" is the name for increased fractures and permeability in the surrounding rock, caused by multiple underground nuclear tests. Mount Mantap is a 7,200-foot-high peak in the north of the country, which scientists say "visibly shifted" during North Korea's most recent detonation on Sept. 3.

Volcán de Fuego lives up to its name. Not only does Guatemala's "Volcano of Fire" blast columns of ash skyward several times every hour, it also becomes a true inferno about once a month, when larger eruptions hurl menacing lava and debris down its slopes. This cyclic behavior is intensifying, making scientists wonder if a more explosive eruption is imminent. But without the ability to peek into its dangerous and inaccessible crater, scientists have struggled to predict what is next. So earlier this year a team of volcanologists and engineers dispatched drones to capture unprecedented images of the crater's activity.

In a University of Texas Jackson School of Geosciences lab lie 1.2-meter-long cylinders — 21 of them, each one pressurized, chilled and containing methane hydrate, a compound extracted from the depths of the ocean floor. Each liter could potentially serve as a century's worth of energy for the United States. In May, a group of scientists embarked on a mission sponsored by the Department of Energy to extract the compound, an icy, flammable substance, from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico.

More than 10 years ago, rivers of mud started spewing out of the ground in five different locations on the Indonesian island of Java. And it hasn't stopped since.
The disaster, termed the Lusi mud eruption, is still spewing out mud and spans a little over six square miles. At its peak, the region was churning out more than six million cubic feet of mud every day. A study published in Marine and Petroleum Geology earlier this summer reviewed the extent of the damage.

A group of researchers from the U.K. and the U.S. have used machine learning techniques to successfully predict earthquakes. Although their work was performed in a laboratory setting, the experiment closely mimics real-life conditions, and the results could be used to predict the timing of a real earthquake.
