Presidential Ramblings August 2017

By Jessica McEachern

2017 Presidential Ramblings #3 At the time of this writing, we’ve officially entered the Dog Days of Summer here in the Northeast. Many of us have vacations on our minds, but things in the NE-AIPG world are still humming along as usual. We’re turning our sights toward this year’s National Meeting held in Nashville, Tennessee, which I will have the pleasure of attending. We are also running through plans for our own section to host the National Meeting in 2019 to be held in Burlington, Vermont. We’re already working hard to get this meeting off the ground, brainstorming ideas for field trips, short courses and local non-geology-related activities (the possibility of a craft beer tour was mentioned...). It’s still a couple of years away, but as we all know, it’s important to get started early!

(Ramblings continued on page 12)

Www.rouxinc.com -11-

(Ramblings continued from page 11)

I’ve spoken previously on the importance of outreach to sister organizations. In the past, we’ve held joint meetings with some great groups, such as Hudson-Mohawk Professional Geologists Association (HMPGA), New York State Council of Professional Geologists (NYSCPG), Buffalo Association of Professional Geologists (BAPG), Central New York Association of Professional Geologists (CNYAPG), Long Island Association of Professional Geologists (LIAPG), and, most recently, local chapters of the Association of Environmental Engineering Geologists (AEG) and Society of American Military Engineers (SAME). This is a great way for NEAIPG to gain more visibility, simply through advertising and partnering with these organizations.

More to that point, we’re also planning our Fall meeting to be held in Upstate New York in the Syracuse area on October 18. We now have all the details firmed up and it should be a great meeting and will be another joint venture with sister organizations CNYAPG and NYSCPG. Please stay tuned for further details.

Partnering with sister organizations is also a great way to raise money for the Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship Perpetual Trust Fund. Speaking of which, I have spoken in the past about the desire for another fund drive, specifically a “President’s Challenge” to donate as much as you are able during this current year. We are now putting those words into action. This year, the 30th Anniversary of the ATGMSF, makes the timing perfect. However, pleased don’t let this special milestone be the only reason to contribute. We are seeking a goal of 100% participation (that is, each member of the Northeast Section) making an annual contribution, donating whatever they can in support of this Scholarship Fund that has been so rewarding to geology students in need over the years. We’ve made suggestions such as $30 a month and $30 a year to correspond to this 30-year milestone, but whatever you are able to contribute would be a wonderful gift.

Please see the flyer in this issue for more details. I’m in - are you??

The Geology of New Mexico: A Photographic Tour

The above “tuff� photo taken in Bandelier National Monument is located west of Santa Fe and south of Los Alamos, NM. The area was designated as a National Monument in 1916 and is approximately 50 square miles. The area is within the Jemez

Mountains and preserves the territory of ancient Puebloans, possibly dating from the mid-1000s to 1600 AD. Most of the area is wilderness covered with volcanic tuff from Valles Caldera eruptions that occurred more than 1 million years ago. The tuff reportedly is underlain by Permian shales and sandstones, and Pennsylvanian-age limestone.

Above is a roadside view of the seriously red rocks in San Diego Canyon, near Jemez Springs, NM. Reference: New Mexico Geological Society Guide book, 58th Field Conference, Jemez Mountains, 2007, Shari A. Kelley, G. Robert Osburn, and Kirt A. Kempter. The CaĂąon de San Diego provides an important window into the Proterozoic to Pleistocene geologic history of the Jemez Mountains region. Portions of oceanic shorelines and continental -scale river systems are preserved in the late Paleozoic to middle Mesozoic sedimentary rocks in the canyon. This scenic canyon, highlighted with vibrant red and orangish-red sedimentary slopes capped by cliffs of orange-tan tuff, is a significant SW-trending drainage in the southwestern Jemez. Tuff outflow sheets, lava flows, and a volcanic center exposed high in the canyon walls are part of the 15 Ma to 40 ka Jemez volcanic field that straddles the transitional margin between the extensional Oligocene to Miocene Rio Grande rift to the east and the Paleocene to Eocene Sierra Nacimiento to the west.

It just wouldn’t be an AIPG field trip unless a gaggle of geologists were admiring a fault (above) along the roadside someplace along the “Highroad to Taos,” instead of enjoying the beautiful flora on just the other side of the road (below). Hmmm, I guess it’s true - you can’t divert a geologist’s attention during an

argument over the nature of an unconformity.

“Soda Dam� (above) is a spectacular natural formation built up of calcium deposits emanating from hot springs over many centuries, while the river flows beneath its dome that continues to build travertine deposits. Those deposits have formed a walkable footbridge directly over a short water fall of about 10 feet. Soda Dam is conveniently located along Route 4, south of the Valles Caldera National Preserve and just north of Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The official scenic marker states the dam is 300 feet long, 50 feet high and 50 feet wide at the bottom. It’s difficult to get a photo of the area without risking a sprained ankle or getting many tourists in your photo as they maneuver for the best selfie!

to increase due to advertising revenue. It was suggested that contacting advertisers mid year may be beneficial in raising additional funds. The ATGMS has reached a new high point following the section donation to the fund in April. The scholarship checks were cashed and the adjustment for the non profit registration fee for New Jersey charitable status was applied. The NE section has not yet received the previously allocated funds from National, however Bob Blauvelt will follow up.

with the students to connect during the summer. Dick Young suggested providing value to the students by looking at their resumes or offering internships.

There were no updates provided for SUNY Genesco, SUNY Buffalo, or SUNY Cortland. The students are currently on summer break and it was agreed to contact them in September.

Old Business: Angelo Fund – Solicitation of Local/Regional Sister Organizations- Luanne Whitbeck recommended that a formal arrangement for the scholarship be circulated to students in the Albany area for NE AIPG and Hudson- Mohawk Professional Geologists Association (HMPGA). The letter could be marketed to universities near the area and discuss the scholarship and details. It was recommended that Dennis McGrath could provide contact information for the schools with his history and the connections including GSA communications.

Jean Patota will contact the Buffalo Association of Professional Geologists (BAPG) to see if there is interest in co-sponsoring the ATMGS scholarship.

A President’s Drive fundraiser was discussed to increase revenue to the fund. It was suggested that a flyer be drafted with the details of how much money has been donated over the life of the ATGMS scholarship, and tag line be generated such as, “give the price of a textbook to a student.” The possibility of contacting a previously awarded winner of the ATGMS scholarship and providing an update was also discussed. Bob Blauvelt confirmed that auto pay on a credit card was an option for payment. Other recommendations were made for automatic donations, or to reach out to schools or corporate (Minutes continued on page 32) -31-

(Minutes continued from page 31)

sponsors to give a charitable contribution.

New Business: Scholarship- Dennis McGrath, Scholarship Committee Chair, distributed ideas to improve the ATGMS application and process. The Ex Com discussed the recommendations including committee member term limits, main streaming the scholarship process for online format, and altering the proposed scholarship evaluation process. It was also suggested that an Ex Com member be elected as a scholarship committee chair in Fall 2017. Both Chris Brown and Luanne Whitbeck expressed interest and support.

Dennis McGrath also confirmed that he is in possession of six file boxes containing former financial documentation that should be shredded or stored. A motion was made and seconded to authorize up to $100 to shred and destroy the documentation pending digital backup confirmation, and passed unanimously.

The succession plan for the ATGMS scholarship fund are not described in detail and should be amended in the current documentation. Jeff Fredrick suggested that the NE section look to National for a model. The scholarship is not an asset of the NE AIPG section and is apart from National AIPG. Bob Blauvelt will review the bylaws and send them out to an attorney for review.

Fall Meeting- A previous recommendation provided in the March meeting was to have the Fall 2017 meeting in upstate New York. It was suggested that a joint meeting with NYSCPG could be hosted in the Finger Lakes by Geneva near Hobart and William Smith Colleges. There are two wineries that could be possible venues and a speaker from the college could do a presentation. Michael Grifasi (Minutes continued on page 34) -32-

Arnold@gmre.com Www.gmre.co/ education.php -33-

(Meeting continued from page 32)

suggested involving the SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Buffalo.

One suggestion to provide value to students is to encourage them to bring copies of their resume and have a professional review it. Exhibitors would sponsor the event.

The meeting schedule should take into account student class schedules for maximum attendance. The venue was agreed to be somewhere between Geneva and Syracuse.

Chris Brown will inquire with Hobart and see if they have space and basic food service etc.

Newsletter –Dick Young provided the update on the newsletter. The deadline for the newsletter is coming soon and any new content the Ex Com members could provide would be appreciated. The 2017 Spring Meeting save-the -date flyer and the directory of members will both be printed in the upcoming issue. • Advertising Sales Update & Income- Following the invoicing to advertisers, revenue is anticipated in the coming months. Dick Young confirmed that it is reasonable to expect continuous collections.

Adjournment: - 2:41 PM: A motion was made and seconded with no discussion. Motion for adjournment passed and the meeting adjourned.

ANGELO TAGLIACOZZO MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP 2017 ‘PRESIDENT’S CHALLENGE’ FUNDRAISER

By Jessica McEachern, CPG-11869 President, Northeast Section, AIPG

Earlier this year, I wrote briefly about the important milestone we in the Northeast Section are celebrating this year: the 30 th Anniversary of the Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship Fund.

After much discussion and careful consideration, we have decided to hold a “President’s Challenge” fundraiser drive.

A reminder of what this scholarship fund is all about: The Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship was established by the Northeast Section of the American Institute of (Scholarship Challenge continued on page 36) -35-

(Scholarship Challenge continued from page 35)

Professional Geologists in late 1986. It recognizes the dedicated leadership and service which Angelo provided to NE/AIPG, to AIPG, and to the geological profession, until his untimely passing on October 11, 1986. The Scholarship furthers Angelo's goal of acquainting young geologists with AIPG and with AIPG's importance to the geological profession.

The Northeast Section grants Scholarships to undergraduate geology students annually. The Scholarships are designed to help with the cost of summer field courses, textbooks, and other aspects of geological education. Scholarships are awarded, both on academic achievement and on financial need, to students enrolled in recognized geology programs at colleges or universities in New England, New Jersey and New York.

The Scholarship Committee has set two challenging, but equally important, goals: To Achieve 100% Participation, through contribution by each and every NE/AIPG Certified Professional Geologist, Member, Student, and Associate (~800 of us working together!).

2. To Continue to Build the Principal of the Perpetual Trust Fund, allowing Scholarship growth, while maintaining the Scholarship as self-sustaining. All income from the Perpetual Trust Fund is used solely for Scholarships. The principal is preserved, ad infinitum.

A reminder of how successful this scholarship fund has been over the years: The Angelo Fund has awarded more than $212,000 to 178 students since the Fund was started in 1987. The Section has built and maintains a network of contacts that include multiple (Scholarship Challenge continued on page 39)

(Scholarship Challenge continued from page 36)

professors at 82 schools with geology programs among 8 states throughout the Northeast. The Section alerts them to the scholarship and its requirements, as well as sends reminders for upcoming deadlines. For 2017, there were 18 applicants representing 13 different colleges and universities. The Scholarship Committee selected 7 recipients from 5 of those schools to be awarded a total of $16,000 in 2017.

Over the past six years, more than $102,000 has been awarded to a total of 45 deserving students. Individual awards have ranged from $1,000 to $5,000. Recipients are allowed to use the scholarship awards toward tuition, fees, field camp, or other costs directly related to their studies. Junior and senior undergraduate students majoring in a geological science at an accredited college or university in any of the eight states that comprise the NE Section are eligible to apply for a scholarship.

We in the Section, especially those directly involved in the inner workings of the scholarship, have put a remarkable amount of time, care and effort into this endeavor over the years. We have seen these efforts bear much fruit and more than anything wish this to continue. But we need your help.

As a Section, we have set a long-standing goal of an annual contribution (no matter the amount) from each and every Northeast Section member. Those who contribute by the end of this year should also be aware of the tax advantages - this alone should be a HUGE incentive!

Also, more “mature� members can get additional tax benefits from directing contributions to the Perpetual Trust Fund from the Required Minimum Distributions on their retirement accounts (another incentive!).

(Scholarship Challenge continued from page 39)

As this is the 30th Anniversary of the Scholarship Fund, as President of NE-AIPG, I challenge each of you to begin making an annual contribution in the amount of $30 - whether it be $30 a month, $30 a year ... or whatever you are able. For the cost of a daily latte (or less than that!) or a student’s textbook, you will be doing so much to keep this Scholarship Fund thriving and able to continue its mission of helping geology students in their career goals. Besides that, it’s just good practice to develop a habit of sustained, annual giving.

In the words of a recent scholarship recipient: “Thank you very much for your generous contribution to my education. Your gift has allowed me to work less and re-establish school as my main focus. I cannot tell you what this means to me in the pursuit of my goals.

Thank you, AB”

This is your CALL TO ACTION for Every Member to Contribute, Now in 2017, to the Angelo Tagialcozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship Perpetual Trust Fund!

Please see pages 87 & 91.

ANGELO TAGLIACOZZO MEMORIAL GEOLOGICAL SCHOLARSHIP 2016 – 2017 ACADEMIC YEAR FINAL STATUS REPORT Dennis G. McGrath, CPG Chair, Scholarship Committee

This year’s scholarship committee (Sam Gowan, Dean Herrick, Len Rexrode, Craig Werle, Tom West, Jessica McEachern, and I) recently completed a review and evaluation of 18 scholarship applica-

tions received in December 2016. Evaluation criteria include financial need, academic qualifications, career goals, achievements (e.g., awards, projects, publications, senior thesis, etc.), and the faculty recommendation letter. Financial need and academic qualifications were weighed more heavily than the other factors in accordance with the weighting scheme that has been used now for four years. The committee then convened via teleconference to

discuss the overall ratings, recommend an award pool, and select the award recipients.

We received another outstanding group of student applicants.

While academic achievement does not assure an applicant of (Scholarship Report continued on page 45)

receiving a scholarship, 17 of the 18 applicants maintained greater than a 3.0 (out of 4.0) overall cumulative grade point average (gpa); nine applicants maintained greater than a 3.7 gpa and four maintained a perfect 4.0! The academic qualifications presented by the applicants were outstanding, and many of the financial needs were compelling. The results of the evaluations among the seven committee members were very consistent this year, and

the composite results reflected that consistency.

The award

amount for this year was chosen after considering quality of the applicants, performance of the trust fund over the past year, and the overall financial health of the NE Section. An award pool of $16,000 was selected as an appropriate award amount. The top three applicants received comparable evaluation scores, so we decided to award $3,000 to each of them; the next two recipients received $2,000 each; and the last two next two recipients $1,500 each. During the Executive Committee meeting on March 13, 2017, the committee presented the Board of Trustees with a recommendation to award a total of $16,000 to the seven applicants.

The Board of Trustees approved the recommendation.

The NE-AIPG is proud to announce the seven recipients for the 2016-2017 academic year. The name of each recipient, the college or university they attend, and the award amounts are listed below: Ikram Cheref

Ikram Cheref and Alison Musselman at Brooklyn College; Anna Ternova at Stockton University and Melissa Chambers and Liliana Calderon Convers at Montclair State University (see photos below).

Checks were mailed to the remaining two recipients. Each of the applicants that did not receive an award was sent an acknowledgement letter. Those that will maintain their eligibility for next year were encouraged to apply again. All applicants who are not al-

ready AIPG student members, receive a student membership in AIPG. For me, it was very special to be able to present three recipients their scholarship checks in person; I think the recipients appreciated it too. At the same time, I was also able to meet again this year with some of the faculty at both Brooklyn College and Stockton (Scholarship Report continued on page 48) -46-

West Antarctica's vast ice sheet conceals what may be the largest volcanic region on earth, research has revealed.

The continent's ice covers almost 100 newly discovered volcanoes, the largest of which is as tall as the Eiger in Switzerland, a study has found.

Geologists and ice experts say the range has many similarities to East Africa's volcanic ridge, which is currently acknowledged to be the densest concentration of volcanoes in the world.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh remotely surveyed the underside of the ice sheet for hidden peaks of basalt rock, like those of other volcanoes in the region whose tips push above the ice.

They analyzed the shape of the land beneath the ice using measurements from ice-penetrating radar, and compared the findings with satellite and database records, as well as geological information from aerial surveys.

Scientists found 91 previously unknown volcanoes, ranging in height from 100 to 3850 metres. The peaks are concentrated in a region known as the West Antarctic Rift System, spanning 3,500 kilometres from Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf to the Antarctic Peninsula.

Results from the study, which is the first of its kind, will help scientists understand how volcanoes can influence longterm fluctuations in the ice sheet. They could also help improve understanding of how the continent has changed during past climates.

Their results do not indicate whether the volcanoes are active, but should inform ongoing research into seismic monitoring in the area. Volcanic activity may increase if Antarctica's ice thins, which is likely in a warming climate, scientists say.

(Article continued from page 76)

Previous studies and the concentration of volcanoes found in the region together suggest that activity may have occurred in previous warmer periods.

The study, published in the Geological Society Special Publications series, was proposed by a third-year undergraduate student at the University of Edinburgh.

Dr Robert Bingham, of the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences, said: "It is fascinating to uncover an extensive range of volcanoes in this relatively unexplored continent. Better understanding of volcanic activity could shed light on their impact on Antarctica's ice in the past, present and future, and on other rift systems around the world."

Max Van Wyk de Vries, a student at the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences, who conceived the study, said: "Antarctica remains among the least studied areas of the globe, and as a young scientist I was excited to learn about something new and not well understood. After examining existing data on West Antarctica, I began discovering traces of volcanism. Naturally I looked into it further, which led to this discovery of almost 100 volcanoes under the ice sheet."

Celebrating 30 Years of Scholarships!

The Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship The Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship was established by the Northeast Section of the American Institute of Professional Geologists in late 1986. The first Scholarships were presented to undergraduate Geology students in 1987.

ATMGS recognizes the dedicated leadership and service which Angelo provided to NE/ AIPG, to AIPG, and to the geological profession, until his untimely passing on October 11, 1986. The Scholarship furthers Angelo's goal of acquainting young geologists with AIPG and with AIPG's importance to the geological profession.

ANGELO TAGLIACOZZO (1936 - 1986) Angelo Tagliacozzo received his doctorate in Geology from the University of Rome (Italy) in 1962. Thereafter, he worked in various positions as geologist, geophysicist, and hydrogeologist, which included assignments abroad, in the U.S., and with the United Nations. Angelo provided exemplary service to AIPG at the Section and National levels. He was a Northeast Section Executive Committee Member (1973-1982), Vice President (1977-1978), President (1979-1980), National Advisory Board Delegate (1981 -1982), and Screening Board Chairman (1984-1986). Angelo's dedication to and leadership of the Northeast Section Screening Board has become the ultimate standard against which service in such a position is measured. Angelo also served as an AIPG National Executive Committeeman (1982); he was a vigorous advocate of measures to increase professionalism. Angelo was (and will be remembered as) a respected professional...and a friend.

THE SCHOLARSHIP NE/AIPG grants Scholarships to undergraduate geology students annually. The Scholarships are designed to help with the cost of summer field courses, textbooks, and other aspects of geological education. Scholarships are awarded, both on academic achievement and on financial need, to students enrolled in recognized geology programs at colleges or universities in New England, New Jersey, & NY. YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS Your participation is encouraged in support of this dynamic memorial to Angelo and his recognition of the importance of AIPG to the geological profession. Contributions to the Scholarship Perpetual Trust Fund should be written to: Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship Trust Fund, and mailed to: NE/AIPG Geological Scholarship Trust Fund c/o Dennis McGrath, CPG P.O. Box 472

Hastings-on-Hudson, NY 10706-0472 All Contributions are invested perpetually, with earnings thereon used solely for the Scholarship. NE/AIPG bears all costs of administration. Please ask your employer about Matching your contribution, and Additional corporate contributions.

Colgate Remembers Professor Bruce Selleck ’71 The following is excerpted and edited for length from the Colgate website: http://news.colgate.edu/2017/08/colgate-remembersprofessor-bruce-selleck-71.html/?no_cookie=1 Provost and Dean of the Faculty Tracey Hucks ’87, MA’90, sent the following remembrance after the passing of Thomas A. Bartlett Chair and Professor of Geology Bruce Selleck ’71 on July 31, 2017. (Please visit the Colgate website to read the full remembrance) Professor Bruce Selleck had deep ties to the upstate New York region, where he grew up on a small, rural dairy farm appropriately known as Selleck’s Corners, near Canton, N.Y., on the western edge of the Adirondack Park.

Bruce was a renowned expert on the geology of the upstate New York region. His scholarship initially focused on sedimentary rocks in the area, with a focus on understanding what these archives revealed about ancient marine environments and how they had changed over time. With longtime colleague and friend James McLelland, Bruce later expanded the scope of his research to include understanding the tectonic development of the Adirondack Mountains.

During the course of his career, Bruce published dozens of articles in top-tier scientific journals, including the Journal of Sedimentary Research, Geological Society of America Bulletin, American Journal of Science, and Geology, to list a few. Bruce recently coedited a special issue of the Adirondack Journal of Environmental Sciences... summarizing recent work on the geology and natural environment of the Adirondack region. In recognition of his research, Bruce held appointments as the H.O. Whitnall Professor of geology and was the current Thomas A. Bartlett Chair and Professor of geology.

(Memorial continued on page 89) -88-

(Memorial continued from page 89)

Bruce’s love of teaching and his affection for his students were legendary. [Bruce was] a strong believer in the power of small, intimate classes where students and teachers worked closely together towards a common goal, a model that he replicated...
