AIPG-TX Webinar: Uranium Roll-Front In-Situ Recovery in Sedimentary Basins: Contributing to the Global Uranium Demand for the Nuclear Renaissance (Slides Available)
Abstract Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H., C.P.G., (and Vice-President, AIPG-TX) with the assistance of Henry Wise, P.G., C.P.G., (and President, AIPG-TX) will be discussing how the the construction of nuclear power is expanding rapidly around the world, and with an emphasis on the new technology, especially with the arrival of the smaller nuclear reactors (SMRs). The pressure on the uranium-mining industry is ramping up as demand for yellowcake in the foreseeable future is pushing toward historical levels which in turn is pushing uranium prices upward to well over $100/pound soon. But where are these resources found? Uranium resources are [...]
AIPG-TX Webinar – February 17, 2026: Relationship Between East Texas Deltas and South Texas Eagle Ford Unconventional Production at the San Marcos Arc
Abstract Examination of cores from the Sabine Uplift, East Texas Basin, and outcrops and near-surface cores taken by the USGS from the north-central Texas outcrop belt identified four separate siliciclastic depositional systems during the Cenomanian-Turonian. Deposition during the lower Cenomanian Maness system was focused on the western margin of the Sabine Uplift, with a delta identified in Rusk County. The middle Cenomanian Woodbine system is found in outcrop on the western side of the DFW Metroplex and is thought to be the source of the sandstone reservoirs in the giant East Texas Field. Following the major sea-level transgression that [...]
AIPG-TX Webinar: GeoPolitics of Energy: Part 1
Achieving a Just & Sustainable Energy Mix by 2040 October 15, 2024 12:00 Noon Central Time by James Conca, Ph.D. Eradicating global poverty, and its evil stepchildren war and terrorism, presents an unforeseen conundrum with respect to human health and the environment. About 3,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per person per year is necessary for someone to have what we consider a good life. For the 10+ billion humans expected to occupy this planet by mid-century, our total power production must grow from 27 trillion kWh/yr to over 40 trillion kWh/yr. This requires all non-fossil energy sources be developed to their [...]
AIPG Texas Section Webinar Series – Carbon Capture and Storage: A New Frontier in Geoscience
Dr. Alex Bump will opine on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a key technology in climate change mitigation. It can be applied to any point source of CO2, and it can abate emissions that are otherwise intractable, such as the process emissions from cement, steel and petrochemical production. Without CCS, mitigation costs double and the paths to NetZero narrow dramatically, and yet, CCS is increasingly controversial—some see it as prolonging fossil fuel use, some see it as a waste of public money, some see it as dangerous, others see it as routine, and most [...]

Texas Chapter AIPG Offers Scholarships Again for 2024
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 [...]
AIPG Texas September Webinar at Noon this Month
The Geology of Western Sicily and its Effect on Iron Age (2800-2600 BP) and Modern Societies September 12, 2023 Please note the new time! 10:00 am pacific, 11:00 am mountain, 12:00 pm central, 1:00 pm eastern Western Sicily is underlain by African basement upon which is piled a series of thrust sheets (the south-verging Maghrebian Orogenic Belt) containing rocks as young as early Pleistocene. Uplift and large earthquakes continue to the present. Sediment loads of rivers are high, resulting in extensive alluvial plains: these were historically highly malarial, but are now drained and being dewatered by intensive irrigation. Iron [...]
