Yes, the ChatGPT image has obvious flaws, but if ChatGPT had taken an introductory sedimentology class, the image would not show a mixture of tidal and fluvial processes! #geologyrocks

These days, a key competence is the ability to critically evaluate ChatGPT outputs. I used this image of a bird's-foot delta generated by ChatGPT to assess students' understanding of the different types of delta. The ChatGPT drawing contains obvious errors, but also a major pitfall. Can you spot it?

What is the most effective way to teach earth science students? We asked our recent graduates (n=96) @eth-eaps.bsky.social @ethzurich.bsky.social.
A clear plea for field teaching and project work!

A geology meme. A picture of Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, and Spock with a couple of other crew members in a jungle like setting, presumably another planet. Spock is holding a rock, and he and the Captain and Bones are all looking at it intently. The other crew members are not interested in the rock. The caption reads “When you find a rock.” A label under the Captain, Bones, and Spock reads, “Geologists be like” The label under the unenthusiastic crew reads, “All other people.” Yep, it’s one of those kind of jokes:)
Relatable ;)

There were probably even two simultaneous mass movements!

#Geology #Educators: Here's a great example of #RelativeDating from a rockfall deposit near Flüelapass, Davos, Switzerland. I spotted this rockfall deposit two weeks ago (Nov 10th), and the rockfall must have happened sometimes after the first major snowfall at the beginning of October 2024.

Ammonites in an earth science collection
Let's kick off this account with a nice geological picture from the Earth Science Collection @eth-eaps.bsky.social @ethzurich.bsky.social. Stay tuned for more!
