Our latest factsheet is the first in a series on professional licensure of geologists. Less than 11% of geoscience graduates receiving a BA/BS or MA/MS degree develop a career in academia and/or research. Research by the American Institute of Professional Geologists, National Association of State Boards of Geology and AGI indicate that geologists are predominantly securing employment in three broad sectors: environmental remediation and management, natural resource discovery and utilization, and engineering and construction. In this factsheet, we examine the types of work geoscience professionals perform in these industry sectors.

When considering an investment in an Opportunity Zone, it is important to choose a vapor barrier system offering the highest chemical resistance. Nitra-Core is lab-tested to be 10x more effective than typical spray-applied SBR asphalt material. To learn this and other helpful Opportunity Zones tips, download the eBook.

A new study from Caltech finds that so-called "slow slip" or "silent" earthquakes behave more like regular earthquakes than previously thought. The discovery opens the door for geoscientists to use these frequent and nondestructive events as an easy-to-study analog that will help them find out what makes earthquakes tick.

Mountains cover 25% of the Earth's surface, and the streams draining these mountains account for more than a third of the global runoff. But the role that mountain streams play in global carbon fluxes has not yet been evaluated; until now scientists have focused mainly on streams and rivers in low-altitude tropical and boreal regions.

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid struck the Earth, initiating mass species die-offs. Scientists have long believed that the impact's marine extinctions were due to ocean acidification, but they never had physical evidence for that hypothesis — until now. A new study uses boron isotopes in tiny plankton shells to reconstruct the pH of the oceans around the time of the impact, providing evidence for a rapid acidification event that disrupted the marine ecosystem for hundreds of thousands of years.

Typical geologic investigations of active earthquake fault zones require that the fault can be observed at or near the Earth's surface. However, in urban areas, where faults present a direct hazard to dense populations, the surface expression of a fault is often hidden by development of buildings and infrastructure. This is the case in San Diego, where the Rose Canyon fault zone trends through the highly developed downtown.

Serpentinization produces molecular hydrogen (H2) that is capable of supporting communities of microorganisms in hydrothermal fields, which suggests that serpentinization may be closely related to the origin of life at the early history of the Earth and possibly other planets. In this study, serpentinization experiments were performed at 300 degrees Celsius and 3.0 kbar with natural olivine and peridotite as starting reactants to quantify the influence of acidic and alkaline solutions on the processes of serpentinization.

In the Eastern Cordillera of Bolivia, pollen grains travel from near and far to become sandwiched in layers of snow in the Andean mountaintops, ultimately becoming trapped as the layers turn to ice. Such is the case on the Illimani Glacier, which towers approximately 2,500 meters over Lake Titicaca. The lake sits at an altitude of 3,800 meters above sea level in what was the heart of the ancient Incan Empire.

Mountain-block groundwater in the Southern Basin-and-Range Province shows a variety of patterns of δ18O and δ2H that indicate multiple recharge mechanisms. At 2,420 m above sea level (masl) in Tucson Basin, seasonal amount-weighted means of δ18Oand δ2Hfor summer are −8.3, −53‰, and for winter, −10.8 and −70‰, respectively.

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The paper reviews the development of prediction formulas for the fragmentation from bench blasting. Much attention has been paid to the Kuz-Ram model, its development and errors, and the mean vs. median misunderstanding. The work by the US Bureau of Mines (USBM) and Chung and Katsabanis are also reviewed, as well as the two Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC) models, i.e. the crush zone model (CZM) and the two-component model (TCM), which were developed to cope with the underestimation of blasting fines.
