| Posted: 04 Jan 2011 10:02 PM PST “From decades of monitoring and research at HVO, Kïlauea’s volcanic “plumbing system” is now relatively well understood. This system links the processes involved in the formation, transport, storage, and, ultimately, eruption of magma to sustain Hawai’i's active volcanoes.” Quoted from the USGS publication.    |
| Arizona: Schultz Wildfire Case Study Posted: 04 Jan 2011 07:38 PM PST “In the winter issue of the Arizona Geology newsletter, Ann Youberg (Arizona Geological Survey), and Karen Koestner and Dan Neary (Rocky Mountain Research Station) describe the extent and magnitude of the Schultz wildfire of June 2010, and the subsequent floods that denuded the east mountain slopes delivering sediment-laden waters into residential areas – Timberline, Fernwood, and Doney Park — northeast of Flagstaff.” Quoted from the Arizona Geology press release.

| Posted: 04 Jan 2011 06:46 PM PST “The Trail of Time interprets the geology of Grand Canyon’s spectacular views and its largely inaccessible rocks. The trail leads visitors towards key geologic concepts that can be read in the rocks of the canyon and serves to help people contemplate and more fully appreciate the enormity of geology and the larger meaning of geologic thought…. …The 2 km long timeline represents 2,000 million years of earth history with each million-year time segment marked at one-meter intervals with small brass rings embedded in the asphalt footpath.” Quoted from the Arizona Geology article.  |
| Record Eagle Ford Shale Activity in 2011? Posted: 04 Jan 2011 06:44 PM PST The successes of 2010 in the Eagle Ford Shale will probably make it one of the fastest growing oil and gas targets of 2011. Shell, BP, Statoil and CNOOC have all made major acquisitions in the Eagle Ford.  |
| Low Natural Gas Prices Fuel Acquisitions Posted: 04 Jan 2011 06:40 PM PST A Reuters article reports that 2010 was a record year for worldwide acquisitions in the oil and gas industry. Low natural gas prices produced bargains in the shale and tight sands sectors.  |
| Economic Consequences of Taxing the Oil Industry Posted: 04 Jan 2011 06:35 PM PST An article on TheHill.com website explores the economic consequences of taxing the oil and gas industry. The American Petroleum Institute plans to carry some of this information to members of Congress.  |
| Saudi Arabia Oil and Gas Production Report Posted: 04 Jan 2011 06:30 PM PST “Saudi Arabia has approximately one-fifth of the world’s proven oil reserves and is the largest oil producer and exporter of total petroleum liquids in the world. The country maintains the world's largest crude oil production capacity, estimated by EIA at over 12 million bbl/d at end-2010. That year, the country produced an average of 10.2 million bbl/d of total oil (8.4 million of which was crude).” Quoted from the EIA Country Analysis Brief announcement.  |
| Evidence of Earliest-Known Sea Travel Posted: 04 Jan 2011 06:00 PM PST Archaeologists have found ancient tools on the island of Crete that date back to at least 130,000 years ago. If they are correct, these tools are evidence of the earliest-known sea travel.  |
