Call for Abstracts — 2022 AIPG National Conference
AIPG
AIPG is currently accepting abstracts for oral presentations and poster presentations for the 59th American Institute of Professional Geologists' National Conference that will be held in Marquette, Michigan, on the beautiful shores of the world's largest freshwater lake.
This year’s meeting theme is "Geology: The Cornerstone of our Future". Geology plays a significant role in today’s society and will become ever more important in the years to come. Our reliance on basic resources and building materials such as sand and gravel for roads, limestone for concrete, iron for structural purposes, and other base metals for electronics and other applications will not diminish; rather, it will become a greater concern as existing deposits are depleted or rendered inaccessible.

Dinosaurs' last spring: Study pinpoints timing of Chicxulub asteroid impact
EurekAlert!
A groundbreaking study led by researchers at Florida Atlantic University and an international team of scientists conclusively confirms the time year of the catastrophic Chicxulub asteroid, responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs and 75 percent of life on Earth 66 million years ago. Springtime, the season of new beginnings, ended the 165-million-year reign of dinosaurs and changed the course of evolution on Earth.

Researchers say carbon dioxide could be stored underground in Iowa
The Gazette
Iowa is at the center of two proposed pipelines that would gather carbon dioxide from ethanol plants and transport it to other states for sequestration underground — one strategy for reducing greenhouse gasses that cause climate change.
But scientists with the Iowa Geological Survey say the state has the underground infrastructure for sequestration here, which would allow Iowa companies to keep more of the federal tax credits for CO2 storage and build fewer miles of new pipelines.

Can diamonds originate methane?
EurekAlert!
Turning one of the world's finest gems - diamonds – into one of the worst greenhouse gases – methane - does not seem a great idea. Yet this happened through the work of a group of researchers from the Universities of Bologna and Edinburgh (UK), the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (France) and HPSTAR (China). This outcome published in Nature Communications was not a clumsy lab mistake.

Seeing deeper with atmospheric muons: From archaeology to geology
Phys.org
Muon imaging, or "muography," may be a niche field, but with uses in probing both man-made and natural structures, its appeal is expanding rapidly. A new open-access review published in Reviews in Physics by Lorenzo Bonechi and Raffaello D'Alessandro from the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Italy, and Andrea Giammanco, Université Catholique de Louvain Centre for Cosmology, Particle Physics, and Phenomenology, Belgium, looks at the history, current status, and future prospects of muography.

Spanish island volcano eruption hits local record of 85 days
Associated Press
A volcanic eruption in Spain's Canary Islands shows no sign of ending after 85 days, becoming the island of La Palma's longest eruption on record Sunday.
The eruption has surged and ebbed since it first began spewing lava on Sept. 19. It has since destroyed almost 3,000 local buildings and forced several thousand people to abandon their homes.
On Sunday, after several days of low-level activity, the Cumbre Vieja volcano suddenly sprang to life again, producing loud explosions and blowing a vast cloud of ash high into the sky.
