The Foundation of the American Institute of Professional Geologists supports a variety of programs of the American Institute of Professional Geologists that include student scholarships, educational programs aimed at practitioners, the public, and policy makers and, on occasion, some special needs requested by AIPG. The Foundation is engaged in exclusively educational, scholarship, and research programs. The Foundation may also support public information forums, public education meetings, teacher seminars and geological seminars for other professionals such as engineers, architects, planners and others; thus coordinating the expertise of several professions for a better understanding of the geosciences and global issues. The Foundation is proud to be able to serve AIPG and the geosciences by providing financial support for these programs.
The Foundation is working to meet a donation goal of at least $25,000 by the end of 2016 to help fund student scholarships and programs for students and young professionals in 2017. We ask that you consider supporting the Foundation with a monetary contribution that would be used primarily to fund our scholarship and young professional initiatives, and other Foundation programs as well. The Foundation relies on the support of generous donors. As you renew your AIPG membership or are making charitable donations this year, we hope you will include a donation for the Foundation. Donations of $25, $50, $100 or more will greatly help us reach our year end goal. Your donation will be acknowledged by name in future editions of The Professional Geologist magazine and on the Foundation web page.
Information about donations is on the Foundation web page of the AIPG website. You may donate on-line or send your donation check by mail to:
Foundation of AIPG

Thornton, CO 80241-3134.
If you have any questions or comments about the Foundation, please contact me for additional information.
Thank you for your support of the Foundation so the Foundation may support AIPG and the geosciences.

Somewhere between Earth's creation and where we are today, scientists have demonstrated that some early life forms existed just fine without any oxygen. Recent geology research from the University of Cincinnati presents new evidence for bacteria found fossilized in two separate locations in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.

An earthquake much more powerful and damaging than last year's 7.8 magnitude quake could rock Kathmandu and the Himalayan Frontal Fault, an international team of seismic experts has concluded. The unsettling news comes after field research and analysis in the year following the 2015 Gorkha earthquake, which killed 9,000 people and destroyed 600,000 structures throughout the region.

A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake recently struck New Zealand and lifted the seabed 6 feet upward. The earthquake left coral and seabed exposed above the ocean in a matter of minutes. One of the worst hit towns was Kaikoura, which lies close to the epicenter of the earthquake.

The "technosphere," though not yet a widely acknowledge word, is a term to represent all the human-made machinery, devices, and marvels in the world. For many scientists, the continuous increase in the development of technology, modernization, and urbanization has made the technosphere at a worrying weight.

In 2015, an iceberg measuring almost 225 square miles broke off from the Pine Island Glacier, which forms part of the ice shelf that bounds the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Recently, while reviewing satellite images taken before the giant iceberg broke off, researchers found evidence of a rift at the very base of the ice shelf. This suggests that the sprawling glacier broke apart from the inside out, the new study said.

New USGS-led research shows that permafrost loss due to a rapidly warming Alaska is leading to significant changes in the freshwater chemistry and hydrology of Alaska's Yukon River Basin with potential global climate implications. Such permafrost degradation is already fundamentally transforming the way that high-latitude, Northern Hemisphere ecosystems function.

Geologists measuring vibrations caused by boisterous Ohio State football fans say the Buckeyes' game-winning touchdown in double overtime against rival Michigan had Ohio Stadium rocking more than any other time this season. Ohio State and Miami University professors teamed up with the Department of Natural Resources to devise the "FanQuakes Magnitude Scale." Using measurements taken around the stadium, it converts the shaking from fans into the perceived magnitude of a naturally occurring earthquake.

To get a better grip on forecasting fog, a series of organizations has partnered with the airport authorities to develop a system that can warn of fog at least 6-24 hours in advance, calculate its severity and estimate when it is likely to lift enough for flights to take off and land safely.

If you turn on a tap in Marina, California, or anywhere in the former Fort Ord, some of the water coming out is thought to be more than 20,000 years old, from a time when mastodons and saber-toothed tigers roamed the land. That water comes from what is called the deep aquifer, which resides in geologic formations millions of years old. For years, the deep aquifer was thought of as a backup water supply, one to turn to in times of emergency. Yet presently, due to increasing saltwater intrusion, it has become the primary water supply for the Marina Coast Water District.

The opening of the Evergreen Line is sure to have many commuters excited, but geologists have been excited about the Evergreen Line for a different reason: science. Lionel Jackson is an adjunct professor at SFU's Department of Earth Sciences, and he and some colleagues have been sifting through sediment samples that were dug up during the line's tunnel excavation. What they say they have found is a wealth of geological history about the area dating back thousands of years.
