Join AIPG Past-President Dawn Garcia for this illuminating talk on the benefits of AIPG membership. Whether it’s building a network, finding job opportunities, getting new information on a particular resources, being a mentor or mentoring others, or giving back to the profession, AIPG provides a fantastic opportunity forcareer development!
SEG hosts a series of webinars to address the needs of professionals in the field of economic geology. Restrictions in travel further amplify the need to have accessible content on career resources, technical training, and scientific discoveries.
Grist reported on January 31, 2024 that the clean energy transition requires minerals mining, but graduating students are reluctant to join an industry known for “exploitation” as believed based on their experiences in college.
Mansur Arief never imagined himself working in mining. As an artificial intelligence researcher finishing a PhD at Carnegie Mellon University, he developed safety algorithms for self-driving cars. But then he took a postdoctoral position at Stanford University, where he met Jef Caers, the director of the new research program Mineral-X.
Caers’ program seeks to reinvent mining for the clean energy economy by using advanced data science tools to help companies find and extract critical minerals like lithium in a more sustainable manner — and by developing protocols to engage local communities at the exploration phase, so they can decide whether or not new mining should be permitted on their land.

Dr. Regina Capuano, Chair of the Texas AIPG Scholarship Committee, announced today that the deadline to apply for both the Ted H. Foss Undergraduate Scholarship ($1,000.00) and the Gene Shoemaker Graduate Scholarship ($2,500.00) have been extended to February 14, 2024.
For additional details on how to apply for one of the scholarships, see (Here).
The time to apply for a scholarship is now. The Texas Chapter of the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG-TX) offers scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Texas universities. Over the years, the Officers and the Advisory Board of Directors of the Texas AIPG raise funds for the scholarships from: 1) sponsored training programs, such as the GeoDayz programs held on even years, 2) field trips to various areas of geological interest in Texas, and 3) and webinars managed by members of the Texas Board.
The Ted H. Foss Scholarship is offered for undergraduates ($1,000.00) and the Gene M. Shoemaker Scholarship is offered for qualified graduate students ($2,500.00).
Applications are due on or before February 1, 2024. The Scholarship Committee will review the applications and make the announcement of the selections on March 1, 2024 by the Chair of the Scholarship Committee, Dr. Regina Capuano of the University of Houston.
Before you apply for a scholarship from the Texas Chapter of the AIPG, you need to be a student member. This is free. Fill out the form (more) and send it off to our National Office in Colorado with a copy to the Texas Section for confirmation. Be aware that the National Office of AIPG also awards separate undergraduate and graduate student scholarships to university students around the U.S. This webpage discusses only the Texas Section scholarships for students attending Texas universities.
For more details on the the available scholarships, see (here).

For keeping up with the Wise Report produced by our President, Henry M. Wise, P.G., CPG, President on the website of the Houston Geological Society, see:
IAPG is legally recognized as a not-for-profit association, has 3109 members in 129 countries on 5 continents, and can count on a network of 35 national sections.
IAPG works to developing theoretical and practical activities covering a wide range of contents comprising: philosophy of geosciences and history of geosciences thinking; research integrity and professionalism in geosciences; working climate issues and related aspects; geoethics in georisks and disaster risk reduction; responsible georesources management; ethical and social aspects in geoeducation and geoscience communication; geoethics applied to different geoscience fields including economic geology, paleontology, forensic geology and medical geology; ethical and societal relevance of geoheritage and geodiversity; sociological aspects in geosciences and geosciences-society-policy interface; geosciences for sustainable and responsible development; geoethical implications in global and local changes of socio-ecological systems; ethics in geoengineering; ethical issues in climate change and ocean science studies; ethical implications in geosciences data life cycle and big data; ethical and social matters in the international geoscience cooperation.
