The recent dramatic increase (and more recent decline) of seismic activity in Oklahoma poses both scientific questions and environmental/economic challenges. Understanding the controlling factors of seismicity requires significant research efforts in multiple disciplines of geosciences and engineering. Oklahoma represents a natural laboratory of tectonic and induced seismicity. Many researchers from Oklahoma universities (University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, University of Tulsa, etc.), state agencies (Oklahoma Geological Survey, Oklahoma Corporation Commission) and energy companies are investigating a wide range of topics related to these earthquakes (http://earthquakes.ou.edu). In addition, adjacent states with potentially induced seismicity are engaged in activities related to the work in Oklahoma.
We propose to have a two-day workshop, Feb. 20-21, in Norman, Oklahoma. The workshop will allow researchers from Oklahoma and other states, Federal agencies, the energy industry, and other interested parties to meet and discuss models of tectonic versus-induced earthquakes, as well as explore practical procedures to mitigate seismic hazard.
The workshop will address topics such as:
- Regional seismic monitoring, data management and analysis
- Regional subsurface fault structures; seismicity-fault relations; in-situ stress
- Rock mechanical properties of significant Oklahoma rock units
- Modeling fluid flow and solid deformation related to produced water injection
- Hydrological analyses of relevant aquifers and reservoirs
- Geomechanical modeling of ground shaking within the central United States
- Best practices for regulation and management of Underground Injection Control (UIC) Class II disposal wells
- Modeling of earthquake effects on surface or underground structures
- Assessment approaches for seismic hazard
- Innovative methods to distinguish between induced and tectonic earthquakes
At the workshop, we will discuss current progress from individual research groups, main challenges and research needs for understanding the phenomena, and we will seek to coordinate future collaborative research plans, which may lead to medium-to-longer-term multi-disciplinary projects. The workshop is meant to be informal and to facilitate current and future collaboration, so that even projects at early stages of development are invited to discuss plans and objectives. The structure of the workshop will likely involve panel discussions on topical areas, with short (12-15 minute) presentations and extensive discussion periods.
Persons or teams interested in a presentation should submit a title and a 200-word abstract, including whether the presentation will be of work planned, in progress or nearing completion to: jboak@ou.edu. Presenters will be asked to complete a release form to include a web-publishable version of the presentation in the workshop summary report. That version may delete sensitive or proprietary material presented at the workshop. The workshop organizers prefer presentations that can be released publicly.
For additional information on the technical program, contact the workshop organizers: Jeremy Boak, (405) 325-7968; Kyle Murray, (405) 325-7502; Jacob Walter, (405) 325-8497.
INTRAW
The INTRAW project consortium announces the official launch of the International Raw Materials Observatory, a new not-for-profit organisation created to support international cooperation in the field of mineral raw materials.
The International Raw Materials Observatory is a new not-for-profit international association, created to enhance worldwide cooperation on mineral raw materials' research and innovation, education and outreach, industry and trade and recycling, management and substitution of strategic raw materials. The Observatory is one of the major outcomes of the Horizon 2020 funded project INTRAW (2015-2018). Since its start in 2015, the project has mapped best practices on mineral raw materials policies in five reference countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa and the U.S.) and advanced a roadmap to foster the EU response to global challenges on mineral raw materials supply.
The Observatory has now officially been launched during the EU-Advanced Mining Countries conference, on Nov. 7, organized in the framework of the European Commission's Raw Materials Week (Nov. 6-10). INTRAW coordinator Vitor Correia provided the audience with an overview of the services the Observatory will be offering to its members and the marketplace, namely foresight dialogues with key influencers and match-making services for organizations active along the minerals materials value chain. The Observatory will "foster dialogues among stakeholders and policy makers, in the intersection between political actors and society. [...] We believe that policy makers need foresight analysis to plan ahead," said Vitor Correia. During a match-making session organized at the end of the conference, the participants had the opportunity to test one of the other services the Observatory will provide.
Mineral raw materials are hence the focus area of the International Raw Materials Observatory and diplomacy, dialogues, independent expert analysis and foresight will be the main tools used to advance international cooperation, informed policy making and better governance of mineral raw materials. The values of the International Raw Materials Observatory are built around the concept of honest broker since it will act as an impartial international mediator specialized in the minerals value chain to support international cooperation and exchange of best practice.
For more information on the Observatory, view this short video.

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.

Minerals
The Zambujal ore deposit, Neves-Corvo mine, is a zoned volcanogenic sulfide deposit of copper and zinc, with massive ores at the top and stockwork ores at the bottom. Metal grades are strongly zoned by ore types. The main methodology hereby proposed combines geostatistical techniques so that an improved stochastic geological model of the Zambujal deposit encompassing morphology and grades is presented.

A significant contribution to the structure of the hydrocarbon deposits can be made by fracturing, which is in the active state under the external stresses relative to the Earth (the lunar-solar gravitational action, the total rotational field of the Earth's stresses, etc.). On the example of comparing the results of system-geodynamic interpretation with reservoir properties of the Bobrikovian, Timanian and Pashian horizons of the Romashkino field using mathematical-statistical analysis, it has been shown that geodynamic activity significantly affects the reservoir properties.

In South China, both crustal reworking and crust-mantle interaction were important geological processes during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. However, the relationships between these two processes and metal mineralization are still unknown. Here we report rhenium and osmium isotopic data for pyrite grains from a pyrite deposit associated with a granite intrusion in the Shangbao area, southeastern Hunan Province (South China). Two pyrite samples, both containing many euhedral pyrite grains, were collected from the same locality, but the samples yield distinct ages.

We examine the feasibility and added value of upscaling point data of soil moisture from a small- to a mesoscale catchment for the purpose of single-event flood prediction. We test the hypothesis that in a given catchment, the present soil moisture status is a key factor governing peak discharge, flow volume and flood duration. Multiple regression analyses of rainfall, pre-event discharge, single point soil moisture profiles from representative locations and peak discharge, discharge duration, discharge volume are discussed.
