November 29 — AIPG Lunch & Earn - Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimation and Reporting: The Canadian System
AIPG
Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimation and Reporting: The Canadian System
From their early beginnings, the regulations regarding the preparation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserve (MRMR) estimates and the disclosure of their results have been steadily evolving over the past twenty to thirty years. Currently, the three essential components in the preparation and disclosure of MRMR estimates include a set of basic definitions, guidance regarding the practice of the preparation of the estimates themselves, followed by disclosure of the results to the public domain.
The basic definitions regarding MRMR has become to a large degree, standardized by a number of mining jurisdictions I the world. The disclosure of the results of MRMR estimates has also been standardized to a degree in many mining jurisdictions as well. However few of the mining jurisdictions provide guidance on the practice itself of preparing MRMR estimates.
This presentation will describe the various components adopted by the Canadian system for the preparation of MRMR estimates and the disclosure of the results to the public domain.

November 15 — AIPG Texas Section Webinar Series
AIPG
SkyTruth - Sharing the View from Space for Conservation
For more than 20 years, SkyTruth has harnessed the power of satellite images to shine a spotlight on environmental issues and incidents around the world. A nonprofit conservation technology organization based in Shepherdstown, WV, SkyTruth was founded by a geologist and now operates as a distributed team of 12 computer programmers, data scientists, image analysts, geospatial analysts, and communications specialists, producing images, data, and analyses that illustrate and measure the impacts of drilling, mining, commercial fishing, and other human activity on terrestrial and marine ecosystems. We are experts in using cloud computing and artificial intelligence techniques (machine learning) to automate and scale the analysis of satellite images and other forms of remote sensing data. This approach is exemplified by Global Fishing Watch, a project built by SkyTruth in partnership with Google and marine conservation organization Oceana to reveal all of the commercial fishing activity in the ocean. Currently, we are working to automate the detection of oil slicks at sea from vessels and oil production facilities.
Cost: Members - $10, Non-Members - $25, AIPG Student Members - free
Earn 0.1 CEU / 1 PDH for attending! Certificates will be emailed after the webinar.

2023 AIPG President's Message and Dues Renewal
AIPG
Dear Fellow AIPG Member:
I suspect that you may be surprised to find that AIPG's Executive Committee has decided not to raise the National dues for 2023. It was not a decision made lightly, and there was plenty of debate about the 2023 budget and how the Institute can carry out its mission and activities during these uncertain times. AIPG is not financially robust because our primary income (membership dues) do not cover our annual budget; in fact, we’re in the same waters as other geologic organizations. Everyone is feeling the burden of increasing prices. Your leadership looked at both sides of the argument and there is sound reasoning for a bump upward in dues (it has been three years since the last increase and inflation has moved from a creep to a sprint) and for staying the course (those who are cost-sensitive are going to be less likely to renew their dues). The motion to keep the same dues’ structure that we’ve had since 2020 passed, with the burden of developing a balanced budget that will be implemented in 2023.

AIPG Mentoring Program
AIPG
AIPG believes mentoring is integral to encouraging geoscientists throughout their careers. This can include discussions on many different topics, including but not limited to:
- specific geoscience topics or questions
- education and experience required for specific career tracks
- any geoscience topic of interest
- geoscience employment search
- selecting the best-suited geoscience career track
- work abroad experiences in geosciences
AIPG is setting up this mentor site to encourage one-on-one AIPG-member discussions. We encourage the mentor and mentee to include others in their discussions and research as needed. A mentor may or may not have applicable experience or knowledge related to a mentee's area of interest, but the mentor will help find information and/or an alternate mentor.
AIPG Members interested in becoming a Mentor can submit the online Mentor form.

After centuries lying dormant, this Alaska volcano is once again showing signs of life
CBC News
After centuries of inactivity, a volcano in the Alaskan panhandle has awakened from dormancy.
Scientists have traced a swarm of minor earthquakes around Sitka, Alaska, in 2020 to magma activity below Mount Edgecumbe (L'úx Shaa), around 450 kilometres northwest of Prince Rupert, B.C.
Through computer modelling with satellite radar, scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory were able to pinpoint in April that the many small quakes were being caused by rising magma levels below the 976 metre-high peak at the southern end of remote Kruzof Island.

Evolution of tree roots may have driven mass extinctions
Science Daily
The evolution of tree roots may have triggered a series of mass extinctions that rocked the Earth's oceans during the Devonian Period over 300 million years ago, according to a study led by scientists at IUPUI, along with colleagues in the United Kingdom.
Evidence for this new view of a remarkably volatile period in Earth's pre-history is reported in the Geological Society of America Bulletin.

New report outlines a major initiative to study geologic hazards related to subduction zones
Phys.org
A new report, co-authored by Carnegie's Diana Roman, presents a plan for an ambitious interdisciplinary initiative aimed at advancing understanding of the processes that trigger earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, and volcanic eruptions where tectonic plates converge.
Subduction zones are found around the world, mostly in coastal regions where an oceanic tectonic plate dives beneath a continental plate.

Scientists discover significant critical minerals potential in Northern Maine
USGS
A team of state and federal scientists have discovered an area in northern Maine that is high in critical mineral resources, highlighting for the first time the importance of this region to the U.S. mineral resource economy. The team's findings are described in a new publication by scientists from the University of Maine at Presque Isle, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry's Maine Geological Survey (MGS).

Earth's oldest stromatolites and the search for life on Mars
Phys.org
The earliest morphological traces of life on Earth are often highly controversial, both because non-biological processes can produce relatively similar structures and because such fossils have often been subjected to advanced alteration and metamorphism. Stromatolites, layered organo-sedimentary structures reflecting complex interplays between microbial communities and their environment, have long been considered key macrofossils for life detection in ancient sedimentary rocks; however, the biological origin of ancient stromatolites has frequently been criticized.
