This is a half-day workshop was developed to provide water utility personnel, engineers, hydrogeologists, regulatory officials, and other interested persons in understanding about the sand and gravel and bedrock aquifers their wells are located in and how and why well performance declines over time along with options that are available to rehabilitate your well. The workshop begins with an introduction of the geology and aquifers of New England. From plate tectonics to glacial geology along the effects of weathering that have created the majority of high-yield aquifers located throughout New England. A quick trip through well types, water well terminology, groundwater flow into well screens, and a discussion of specific capacity as it applies to sand and gravel and bedrock aquifers. Specific capacity is easy to calculate and use as a measure of the performance of your well, but something that is often overlooked. Moving forward, there is a segment on declining well performance including a discussion of the chemical, physical, and microbiological factors that are the cause for drop in performance in wells. Improving the performance of your well will be discussed by examining physical and chemical methods to rehabilitate your well and improve specific capacity. Understanding the permitting considerations along with the costs of well rehabilitation services will be discussed. The final segment of the workshop will be case studies on well rehabilitation. This will tie together all of the other segments of the workshop.

New work from a team led by Carnegie's Timothy Strobel has identified the structure of a new type of ice crystal that resembles the mineral quartz and is stuffed with more than five weight percent of energy-rich hydrogen molecules, which is a long-standing Department of Energy goal for hydrogen storage. The results, published by the Journal of the American Chemical Society, could have implications for the mineralogy of icy planetary bodies as well as for energy storage technology.

When the first group of Homo sapiens reached Ethiopia some 200,000 years ago, they were greeted by massive volcanic explosions that blasted poisonous ash and gas for millennia, new research suggests. Geologists from Ethiopia, the U.S. and U.K. examined ancient lava flows in the East African Rift and found a 200-kilometer stretch pulsed with huge eruptions of magma between 320,000 and 170,000 years ago — right when the first modern humans reached the region.

A new mechanism may explain how great earthquakes with magnitudes larger than M7 are linked to coastal uplift in many regions worldwide. This has important implications for the seismic hazard and the tsunami risk along the shores of many countries. The idea is that series of severe earthquakes within a geologically short period of time cause the rising of the land where one tectonic plate slips beneath another slab of the Earth's crust in a process called subduction.

In Japan, Taiwan and New Zealand, one of the largest driving forces behind earthquakes is the active convergence of tectonic plates at rates of four to eight centimeters per year. The plate boundaries in each region are complex throughout the length of each plate margin. Destructive earthquakes have caused significant loss of life and billions of dollars in property damage, making it essential that these countries refine their seismic hazard models to prepare for future earthquakes.

Many people know that tropical cyclones and hurricanes cause high winds and storm surges. But two of their other effects, heavy rainfall and inland flooding, can be just as dangerous and impact larger areas. With the goal of providing basic information to help improve preparedness and mitigation efforts, new University of Iowa-led research published online in September in the Journal of Hydrology examined how accurate current forecasting systems are in predicting rainfall from North Atlantic tropical cyclones that reach land in the United States.

Geologists have identified more than 400 ancient human footprints preserved at the foot of the "Mountain of God" in Tanzania. Similar to textbook examples like Pompeii whereby volcanic ash preserves ancient human life, these preserved footprints can provide clues about human life thousands of years ago.

About 95 million years ago, a bus-sized and scaly-skinned sauropod dinosaur with a long tail and even longer neck lumbered across what is now Queensland, Australia, a new study finds. The hulking, 50-foot-long paleo-beast likely weighed up to 22 tons. The newly identified species of sauropod is one of the most complete sauropod skeletons ever found in Australia.
