Prior to the dinner a student mentoring session will also be held. CO-Section volunteers representing mining, oil and gas, environmental geology, hydrology and engineering geology will be present to discuss their various experiences with the students. In addition, graduate school professors from UNC, CSU, CSM and UCD will be in attendance to present their schools' earth science programs; AIPG National will also be attending. All students are encouraged to attend the mentoring session, although student registration for the dinner will be limited and restricted to AIPG Student Chapter members only.

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.

Geologists have for the first time seen and documented the Banda Detachment fault in eastern Indonesia and worked out how it formed. Lead researcher Dr. Jonathan Pownall from The Australian National University said the find will help researchers assess dangers of future tsunamis in the area, which is part of the Ring of Fire — an area around the Pacific Ocean basin known for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Madagascar, the big island off the east coast of Africa with the lemurs and baobabs, is thought to be sitting in the middle of an old tectonic plate, and so, by the rules of plate tectonics, should be tectonically quiet: few earthquakes and no volcanoes. But it's not.

Researchers are surprised to learn that there may be water deeper within the Earth than previously thought. Two scientists from The University of Edinburgh and Florida State University discovered a high-pressure phase of a mineral that may be able to store water 400 to 600 kilometers, or almost 250 miles to 372 miles, down in Earth's mantle.

The massive underwater crater left by the asteroid that exterminated the dinosaurs has provided new evidence that sea levels were much lower during the last Ice Age, researchers said Nov. 23. Scientists worked on a platform off Mexico's East Coast to dig for clues about the destruction of life 66 million years ago inside the 200-kilometer (125-mile) wide Chicxulub crater.

Gold, silver and other metals lace the rocky outcrops in the Alaska Range about 25 miles southwest of Tok, in an underexplored area near the Canadian border with promising potential for prospectors, according to a new state report. After analyzing more than 500 pieces of rock collected in the two-year project, geologists reported this month that 40 samples contained greater than .005 ounces of gold per ton.

Researchers have been testing a method of underground carbon dioxide storage: injecting it into basaltic rock. Now, building on that work, undiluted CO2 was stored and in a much higher quantity: 1,000 tons of fluid carbon dioxide were safely stored in underground basalts in Washington state.

Experts have confirmed that a group of sinkholes discovered Hanzhong, Shaanxi province in Northwest China, contains the largest number of the rare geological phenomenon in the world. The Shaanxi provincial government announced on Nov. 24 that an investigation revealed there were 49 sinkholes in the area, the most in the world.
