Wyoming State Geological Survey
Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) Director and State Geologist, Tom Drean, is retiring from the position this fall after six years of service. His departure is effective Nov. 21, at which time WSGS minerals and resources manager, Erin Campbell, will assume the role. The state geologist additionally serves on the WSGS Advisory Board, Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, Wyoming Board of Professional Geologists, Wyoming Consensus Revenue Estimating Group (CREG) and the Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute Commission, at the University of Wyoming. Erin Campbell will have a short move from her current office to her new one when she assumes the role as State Geologist and head of the WSGS on Nov. 21. She currently manages the Survey's energy and minerals division on the second floor of the Laramie-based office. When she transitions to her new position, her office will be on the first floor.

INTRAW
The teaser tested eveyone's patience. But the waiting has lasted long enough. Finally, the video "INTRAW — Discover The Project" has arrived. Discover the purpose of this H2020 initiative, its importance in today's society and, last but not least, enjoy a quick preview of what the exciting final outcome will be: the International Raw Materials Observatory.
The Observatory will be presented at two major events scheduled during the European Commission's Raw Materials Week (Nov. 6-10):
The Observatory's launch will be celebrated during a morning session of the EU-Advanced Mining Countries conference organized by DG Grow on Nov. 7 (11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.). In addition, as one of the services the Observatory will provide in the future, an international match-making session between industry and research organizations active in the raw materials sector is organized at the end of this conference (5:20-7 p.m.). Registration for this event is now closed.
An open roundtable on the challenges of international cooperation is organized on Nov. 8 (2-3:30 p.m.). The aim of this roundtable is to discuss the challenges of international collaboration on mineral raw materials. The roundtable is co-organized by the International Raw Materials Observatory and FORAM Project. Register now for this event using the following form.
Resources for Future Generations 2018
What happens when you bring industry, government, First Nations representatives, policy-makers academics, scientists and members of civil society together? It may sound like a strange mixer, but Resources for Future Generations 2018 (RFG2018) recognizes that in order to have a meaningful conversation about the use of Earth's resources in the future, all the voices must be in the room.
In order to enrich the conversation, RFG2018 has unveiled what looks to be a robust, comprehensive list of sessions structured around their six central themes: The Earth, Water, Minerals, Energy, Resources and Society, and Education and Knowledge. You can review a full list of Theme Sessions.
Call for Abstracts to RFG2018 sessions is now open. Abstracts will be accepted until Jan. 15, and we encourage you to add your voice to this event.

INTRAW
The INTRAW project consortium is pleased to announce the release of a new brochure presenting three scenarios for the world of raw materials in 2050.
The EU-funded INTRAW project was launched in 2015 with the aim of mapping best practices and boosting cooperation opportunities related to raw materials between the EU and five technologically advanced non-EU countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa and the United States).
In a truly cooperative approach, the INTRAW project has elaborated, in a series of workshops run in 2016, three scenarios that describe the world of raw materials in 2050. Given the current uncertainties that global politics have to deal with, scenarios are indeed an excellent means to prepare for the future and to safeguard against developments that are not desirable, but yet still plausible. The final scenarios, named "Unlimited Trade," "Sustainability Alliance" and "National Walls," are now available on the INTRAW website and are presented in more detail in a new brochure.
The next step ahead for the project consortium is now the launch of the International Raw Materials Observatory during the European Commission's Raw Materials Week (Nov. 6-10). The Observatory is a new independent, apolitical, international not-for profit organization, set up to support international cooperation on mineral raw materials. The launch of the Observatory intends to provide a glimpse on the services the Observatory will be offering to its members, namely foresight dialogues with key influencers and match-making services for organizations active along the minerals materials value chain. Two major events are scheduled during the Raw Materials Week: the official launch of the Observatory during the EU-Advanced Mining Countries conference on Nov. 7 and an open roundtable on the challenges of international cooperation on Nov. 8.

The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) 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.
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.

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Modeling the seismic potential of active faults is a fundamental step of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA). An accurate estimation of the rate of earthquakes on the faults is necessary in order to obtain the probability of exceedance of a given ground motion. Most PSHA studies consider faults as independent structures and neglect the possibility of multiple faults or fault segments rupturing simultaneously (fault-to-fault ruptures).

The USGS has long provided estimates of remaining coal resources, which are based on minimum thickness and maximum depth of cover parameters. However, beginning with the 2015 assessment of the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana, the USGS began to calculate recoverable coal resources and coal reserves from the remaining coal resources.

If you cut into a tree, as every grade-schooler learns, you'll find a beautiful pattern of concentric rings, each one formed during a year of the tree's life. But this wasn't always the case. Ground-breaking fossil analysis has revealed that ancient trees had a far more complex structure than the ones that exist today.

Geodesy and Geodynamics
The Fushan depression is a classic lacustrine rifted sub-basin in the Beibuwan Basin, South China Sea. The Paleogene Liushagang sequence is the main hydrocarbon-bearing stratigraphic unit in the depression. Using three-dimensional (3-D) seismic data and logging data, we analyzed depositional setting of the Liushagang sequence. We use wave impedance inversion to describe progradational directions of provenance and the general distribution of sand body.

Atmosphere
The lowest portion of the Earth's atmosphere, known as the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), plays an important role in the formation of weather events. Simple meteorological measurements collected from within the ABL, such as temperature, pressure, humidity and wind velocity, are key to understanding the exchange of energy within this region, but conventional surveillance techniques such as towers, radar, weather balloons and satellites do not provide adequate spatial and/or temporal coverage for monitoring weather events.

Minerals
Experiments on the incorporation of trace elements into calcite were performed, and rare earth elements (REE) were used to mark the growth zones of individual crystals. Experiments were conducted at different pH (7.7 to 8.8) and temperatures (2 degrees Celcius to 24.6 degrees Celcius) in NH4Cl + CaCl2 solutions, where REE were rapidly consumed by growing calcite.

Mountains occupy anywhere from 12 to 31 percent of the land surface of the Earth, but despite their importance, surprisingly few attempts have been made to scientifically define and map these regions worldwide with detail. A new tool that gives users the most detailed view yet of the world's mountains is now available from the USGS. And it's as close as your computer or cellphone.
