SUMMARY:AGS monthly meeting
DESCRIPTION:September Presentation: Impacts Great and Small—The Role of Hypervelocity Collisions in Sculpting Earth’s Geology\nWhen: 6:45pm\, September 28 \nThe meeting will be offered in hybrid format—live at the Fernbank Museum and via webcast. To obtain webcast link contact scott.harris@fernbank.edu \nAbstract: Only since the confirmation of shocked mineral phases at Barringer (Meteor) Crater by USGS geologists Gene Shoemaker and Ed Chao in the late 1950s has impact cratering by hypervelocity collisions with asteroids and comets been considered a significant agent of geologic change on the surface of Earth– despite having been recognized as the most ubiquitous source of upheaval on other solid planets decades before. Today the scars of approximately 200 impacts have been recognized in the Earth’s crust ranging in size from 10s of meters to more than 200 kilometers in diameter and in age from 14 years to 2.2 billion Ga. Dozens of deposits of ejecta have been identified throughout the stratigraphic record\, a few well-correlated with impact structures and some apparently the only surviving remains of events both large and small\, including a few likely produced by air bursts just above the ground. \nAlthough spacecraft missions have only increased our understanding of the importance of impact cratering throughout the solar system\, and the potential cataclysmic effects on life have been popularized by the K-Pg mass extinction; impact cratering still is unappreciated as a fundamental process responsible for sculpting the evolution of the Earth’s lithosphere at many scales. When many people imagine impacts\, they likely think of Barringer Crater\, which somewhat like our Sun to astronomers is easily accessible\, instructive\, and aesthetically pleasing but probably isn’t all that representative of the phenomenon. Thanks to the Carancas impact in Peru in 2007\, we must look at every small pock mark across a barren plain with a more critical eye.  And the other end of the spectrum\, large impacts can produce enormous volumes of igneous rocks\, large-scale tectonic deformation\, and thick sedimentary deposits that can be and often have been interpreted as representing millions of years of geologic history– before geologists stumbled upon the evidence that everything had formed almost in the blink of an eye. We will examine the record of asteroid and comet impacts on Earth and what it means for understanding the geologic past of our planet. \nSpeaker Bio:  R. Scott Harris is the planetary geologist and meteorite curator for Fernbank Science Center and the Jim Cherry Memorial Planetarium in Atlanta\, Georgia. A Georgia native\, he was educated at Arizona State University\, the University of Georgia\, and Brown University. A world traveler\, field geologist\, petrologist\, and educator\, he has spent most of his 30-year career studying the record of asteroid and comet impacts on Earth. The author or co-author of more than fifteen peer-reviewed papers and field guides and over a hundred conference abstracts\, Scott also studies extraterrestrial volcanism and the ancient history of our solar system preserved in meteorites.  He is the current Outstanding Earth Science Teacher for Georgia\, awarded by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers\, and serves as Communication Director for the Southeastern Section of NAGT. Scott also serves as the new Field Trip Coordinator for AGS.

SUMMARY:PG Workshop
DESCRIPTION:To assist candidates in their preparations for ASBOG tests and professional geologist registration\, the Atlanta Geological Society offers monthly workshops featuring speakers who review important geologic principles. This month’s session is on Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology. \nSubject: Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology \nSpeaker: Jim Kennedy\, Ph.D.\, P.G. \nDr. Kennedy is the Georgia State Geologist and holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics and geophysical sciences from Georgia Tech and a Ph.D. in geology from Texas A&M where he did research on reclaimed lignite mines. As State Geologist\, he has worked on the Coastal Sound Science Initiative to manage salt-water intrusion into the Upper Floridan aquifer\, permitting of coastal groundwater supply wells\, and the State Water Plan. He also has provided expert testimony at the Office of State Administrative Hearings in support of landfill\, quarry\, and water withdrawal permits issued by the\nGeorgia Environmental Protection Division. Prior to joining the EPD\, Dr. Kennedy worked as a consultant and conducted engineering geology\, groundwater supply\, and environmental remediation projects in various areas of the United States and Europe \nDate: Saturday\, September 25\, 2021 \nTime: 10:00 am until 12:00 pm \nPlace: Online webinar hosted by Scott Harris of Fernbank Science Center – registration information below \nRegistration: To receive the zoom link and password\, please send an email message to abigail.s.knapp@gmail.com. \nThis online workshop is open to current AGS members. Signing up for AGS Membership is easy and offers many benefits!

SUMMARY:Field Trip to Barrow County (deadline Sept 21)
DESCRIPTION:The Atlanta Geological Society will host a one-day\, self-driven field trip from 9 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on Saturday\, September 25 to highlight the geology of Barrow County\, the most eastern county in Metropolitan Atlanta. The trip will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the Fort Yargo State Park visitor center. The trip will be led by AGS Field Trip Coordinator\, Fernbank Science Center planetary geologist\, and Barrow County native Scott Harris. We will investigate Proterozoic to early Paleozoic metamorphism\, Mesozoic magmatism\, and a Pleistocene peat bog (incorrectly referred to as “mud volcano” in some media). This is the first in a series of trips to explore the geology of each of the Metro Atlanta counties. \nPlease register for the trip using the form at https://forms.gle/WUWDeSqF9XT9bogUA \nAlso complete the Participation Waiver form at https://atlantageologicalsociety.org/participation-waiver/ \nIf you have any questions\, please email Scott at scott.harris@fernbank.edu. \nDEADLINE TO REGISTER IS SEPTEMBER 21

SUMMARY:AGS Meeting
DESCRIPTION:June Presentation: A Fall Line Overview: Brooklyn to Texas\, asthenosphere to alluvium\, Cambrian to Anthropocene \nThe Fall Line is the landward edge of the Mesozoic and younger sediments of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains. Shoals and rapids upstream of the boundary\, caused by exposure of older\, harder rocks\, localized many cities founded in pre-railroad times\, by impeding river navigation and providing waterpower. The sinuous course of the Fall Line from Texas to New York City is traceable to tectonic events from the Cambrian Period down to the present\, including the following (approximate ages in millions of years ago): separation of ancestral North America from the supercontinent Rodinia (570)\, collision of continents to make Pangaea (320)\, collapse of the mid-Pangaea mountains and subsequent rifting (280)\, opening of the Atlantic Ocean (170)\, Southern Appalachian present uplift (15). The history of uplift and erosion down to the present accounts for the fact that some parts of the Piedmont (Upper Flint River basin) are flatter than parts of the Coastal Plain (Fall Line Hills).  Human land use may have widened floodplains downstream of the Fall Line. \nSpeaker Bio: Bill Witherspoon is co-author (with Pamela Gore) of Roadside Geology of Georgia\, which has sold more than 8\,000 copies. Since the book appeared in 2013\, Bill has presented more than 100 walks\, talks\, and workshops throughout the state. From 1997 until his retirement in 2014\, he was an instructor at Fernbank Science Center\, part of DeKalb County Schools.  In 2007\, the National Association of Geoscience Teachers named him Georgia Outstanding Earth Science Teacher. He has worked as a research geologist for Shell Oil and taught at UT Chattanooga. His Ph.D. research at UT Knoxville concerned the structure of Blue Ridge front in Tennessee.  Bill provides an events e-newsletter sign-up\, event calendar\, teacher resources\, digital maps\, and signed books at the web site georgiarocks.us. \nJoin the presentation via WebEx: https://gsumeetings.webex.com/gsumeetings/j.php?MTID=m2de9a0f59d882cbeea9229311d11bca5 \nJoin by phone 415-655-0002\nAccess code: 120 591 9826
