Take advantage now of one- or two-day pre-registration. This annual event incorporates the broadest possible spectrum of UK-based geoscientific society involvement.
Ken Vogel made his career change voluntarily -- but the instability in the oil industry certainly was a factor when he decided to move into the field of environmental geology.
How do colleges and universities deal with the ups and downs of geoscience-intensive industries and provide the best possible education for their students?
For geophysical contractors, typically the first group deployed in a new region for exploration, the 1990s have demanded a keen environmental awareness.
President Biden has laid out a bold and ambitious goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the United States by 2050. The pathway to that target includes cutting total greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and eliminating them entirely from the nation’s electricity sector by 2035. The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management will play an important role in the transition to net-zero carbon emissions by reducing the environmental impacts of fossil energy production and use – and helping decarbonize other hard-to abate sectors.

Local sea-level changes are not simply a function of global ocean volumes but also the interactions between the solid Earth, the Earth’s gravitational field and the loading and unloading of ice sheets. Contrasting behaviors between Antarctica and Scotland highlight how important the geologic structure beneath the former ice sheets is in determining the interactions between ice sheets and relative sea levels.
