PGO
Reminder: Don't miss this online fireside chat — a mentoring session
Feb. 9, 2021 at 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. EST
This is a great opportunity for students, geoscientists-in-training and newly minted P.Geo.’s to engage with women leaders in the industry to gain insight from their lived experience, from their lessons learned and how to flourish as geoscience professionals and leaders in what is traditionally a male-dominated industry.

The Atlantic Geoscience Society (AGS) 47th Colloquium — 2021
AGS Colloquium
Online, Feb. 5 & 6, 2021
The Atlantic Geoscience Society will hold its annual Colloquium on Feb. 5 and 6, 2021. As it will be an online event this year, geoscientists in other regions of the country might be interested in participating without fighting winter travel. In particular the Society is organizing three workshop or short course events (one on Jan. 30) that might be of interest for Continuing Professional Development on the following topics:
1. Looking to the Future; Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion as a way of being in our discipline (Feb. 5)
2. Applications of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) to Earth Science (Feb. 5)
3. QAQC Methods in Geochemical Research and Mineral Exploration, with a Focus on Gold Assay Quality Control (on Jan. 30)

Detour Lake Mine sets the standard in land reclamation
Northern Ontario Business
Kirkland Lake Gold’s Detour Lake Mine has won the 2020 Tom Peters Memorial Mine Reclamation Industry award from the Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA).
Detour Lake is an open-pit gold mine on the Quebec border, 185 kilometres by road northeast of Cochrane.
The reclamation effort was launched at the site in 2012 — “The Detour Lake Mine Research and Progressive Reclamation Program” — supported by a long-term multidisciplinary research program.

Helping Ontario farmers protect Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair watersheds
Ontario Newsroom
The governments of Canada and Ontario will soon be accepting applications for a new round of project funding to help farmers improve environmental sustainability and water quality in the Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair watersheds. In addition to protecting Ontario's water, this investment will continue to improve farm productivity in the region.

Great Lakes' water levels are on the rise, affecting shoreline communities
Yahoo! News
The water levels on the Great Lakes have always fluctuated, but the data show they've been on a definite upswing in recent years — something people in shoreline communities could tell you on their own.
Damaging shoreline events have become more common in recent years, as have evacuations triggered by them. Higher water levels make flooding more likely, while in winter, ice shoves pose their own challenge.

Railways could double as a tool for probing Earth's shallow crust
Physics Today
When gathering data for seismic records, seismologists usually place sensor arrays as far as possible from railways to avoid unwanted noise. In the past decade, however, researchers have begun to explore the possibility of using seismic energy generated by rumbling freight trains to image Earth’s crust, where changes in the transmitted wave’s velocity could indicate geological boundaries, faults, and mineral deposits.

Insights into the Yellowstone hotspot
The Geological Society of America
The Yellowstone hotspot is well known for generating super-eruptions in the geologic past that are far more explosive than historic examples. The origin and sustained longevity of the hotspot is less understood but is focused on two competing models, where the ascent of hot mantle is derived from either a deep-seated mantle plume or a shallow mantle source.

New analysis highlights importance of groundwater discharge into oceans
UC Santa Cruz
An invisible flow of groundwater seeps into the ocean along coastlines all over the world. Scientists have tended to disregard its contributions to ocean chemistry, focusing on the far greater volumes of water and dissolved material entering the sea from rivers and streams, but a new study finds groundwater discharge plays a more significant role than had been thought.

Understanding origins of Arizona's Sunset Crater eruption from 1,000 years ago
Arizona State University
Around A.D. 1085, along the southern rim of Northern Arizona’s elevated Colorado Plateau, a volcano erupted, forever changing ancient Puebloan fortunes and all nearby life. Among the 600 or so volcanoes that dot the landscape of the San Francisco volcanic fields, this one blew. It was the very first (and last) eruption for what came to be known as Sunset Crater, aptly named for its multihued, 1,000-foot-tall cinder cone.
