CEUs available — AGI/AIPG Geoscience Online Learning Initiative (GOLI)
AIPG and American Geosciences Institute
GOLI on-demand online courses provide learners with the flexibility to self-pace their progress, since on-demand courses do not have a set schedule like traditional academic semester-based courses. Brought to you via the OpenedX Learning Management System (LMS), learners are able to browse course descriptions, enroll in specific courses, access content, and complete any course completely free of charge. All learners who complete online courses offered through the GOLI platform with a passing grade of 70% or higher are eligible to purchase Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for a nominal charge.

'Nanolites' can trigger dangerous volcanic explosions
Scientific American
Volcanoes that are thought to be mild-mannered, releasing steady lava flows, can sometimes erupt explosively without warning — as New Zealand's Mount Tarawera did in June 1886, causing widespread damage and death. Geologists have long wondered why volcanoes make this sudden and dangerous transition, says earth scientist Danilo Di Genova of the University of Bayreuth in Germany.

Numerical evaluation of natural periods and mode shapes of Earth dams for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis applications
Geosciences
The evaluation of natural periods and related mode shapes of earth dams represents a critical issue when performing structure-specific probabilistic seismic hazard analyses (PSHA). The identification of critical scenario events, using techniques such as disaggregation of the seismic hazard, and the calculation of a suitable target spectrum for ground motion selection and scaling procedures (e.g., the conditional mean spectrum), require at least the knowledge of the fundamental period of the system.

Images reveal where lava broke through the wall of a Martian crater and began filling it up
Universe Today via Phys.org
At a fundamental level, Mars is a volcanic planet. Its surface is home to the solar system's largest extinct volcano, Olympus Mons, and another trio of well-known volcanoes at Tharsis Montes. And those are just the highlights: there are many other volcanoes on the surface. Though that volcanic activity ceased long ago, the planet's surface tells the tale of a world disrupted and shaped by powerful volcanic eruptions.
