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.

Hundreds of dinosaur footprints uncovered in Poland
CNN
Hundreds of dinosaur footprints, so well-preserved that even the scaly skin can be seen, have been found in Poland, giving an insight into a complex ecosystem around 200 million years ago, geologists said.
Described by the Polish Geological Institute-National Research Institute as a treasure trove, the fossilized tracks and bones were found in an opencast clay mine in Borkowice, 130 kilometers (80 miles) south of Warsaw.

After 3 tense months, Spanish volcano eruption may be over
Associated Press
Residents on the Spanish island of La Palma dared to hope Wednesday that their volcanic eruption is over after almost three months of unnerving daily explosions, earthquakes, rivers of molten rock and a huge ash plume containing toxic gases.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands off northwest Africa fell silent evening, and scientists said its 36 hours or so of negligible activity might signal the beginning of the end of the eruption.

New study reconstructs preglacial topography of mid-North America for first time
EurekAlert!
What did North America look like before ice-sheets streamed across it, carving out lakes and flattening fields?
For the first time, a research team including IU scientists has reconstructed a view of North America's mid-continent, before glaciers changed the landscape forever.
The researchers say their findings enable better understanding of how ice and land co-evolve and illuminate some key climate change questions, including what may happen as current continental ice sheets respond to climate warming and where subsurface water resources may be available.

Fate of sinking tectonic plates has long puzzled scientists — Now they've found an answer
SciTechDaily
Our world's surface is a jumble of jostling tectonic plates, with new ones emerging as others are pulled under. The ongoing cycle keeps our continents in motion and drives life on Earth. But what happens when a plate disappears into the planet's interior?
The question has long puzzled scientists because conventional wisdom said that sinking tectonic plates must remain intact to keep pulling on the portion behind it, but according to geophysical evidence, they are destroyed.

Study combines climatic, tectonic models to explain Andean conundrum
ScienceDaily
The Andes Mountains are much taller than plate tectonic theories predict they should be, a fact that has puzzled geologists for decades. Mountain-building models tend to focus on the deep-seated compressional forces that occur when tectonic plates collide and send rocks skyward.
