Show your art at AGU24!
To celebrate the accomplishments of IODP, the U.S. Science Support Program is partnering with AGU to showcase the art that has been developed in connection with IODP. We invite submissions from the community. For questions, contact mpincus@ldeo.columbia.edu. bit.ly/iodp-art

Have moved from the dark side; trying to find my contacts on the bright side.

Minerals power the green transition - Nature Geoscience Geologists are seeking new critical mineral resources that are needed to support the world’s transition to net-zero carbon emissions.

We need geologists to find the minerals needed to power the green transition, which is why I am constantly surprised/dissapointed that now when we need geologists the most we have such low numbers of undergrads doing Geology. ⚒️🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Vote in Round 2 Match 7 — Mineral Cup Titanite vs Calcite

#MinCup24 R2M7: #Titanite versus #Calcite

Time Team

Titanite is as an indicator mineral for everything from formation temperature, pressure and chronology. Calcite’s U-Pb dating can help constrain the timing of fault slip, and the minimum age of ancient ocean crusts and volcanic rocks

Really really good episode and everyone doing science should have a listen as a refresher. Been thinking a lot about reproducibility in geochronology, and the couple of years, the need for enhanced efforts to drive open geosciences (data+). Now off to listen to When I’m 64 🎶🪲 on repeat…

Screenshot from my collaborator Joe Botting's fb post: There's horrendous news about funding for Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales... and they need help. I'm an Honorary Research Fellow there, but the current funding cuts mean that the geology department is about to cut down to almost nobody. As I understand it, they will lose everyone except one palaeontology curator and one collections manager. No other staff, and no mineralogists whatsoever - they will all be sacked, including three of my friends, at a time when finding another job in the field is nigh-on impossible. The NMW palaeontology collections are a major repository of knowledge, both of Welsh material and further afield. Having so few staff basically mothballs the collection, and puts it at risk of closing completely. This is unthinkable... but it seems to be happening. The cuts also affect the National Library and the Royal Commission. I'm not one for petitions in general, but this one needs help in order to be

Museum folks, please bring your fury! Like the Duke herabarium, the National Museum of Wales is now in danger of losing support for all its geology/paleo collections!

Photo of a magazine article, a text box placed next to an active volcano with ash/gas emitting. Text box text: New research has debunked the myth that human influence is a mere trifle compared to that of volcanoes. In August of 2021, University of Southampton professor THOMAS GERNON, in an article on global chemical weathering published in the journal Nature Geoscience, presented calculations revealing that humans' annual carbon emissions are 150 times greater than the combined output of every volcano on the planet. As a result, the concentration of CO, in the atmosphere today has hit a record high, unseen in the past three million years.

Pleasantly surprised to see @gernon.bsky.social and colleagues research mentioned in my kids science magazine (Oyla) in their article about greenhouse gases and climate change 👍👍👍

The Oxford University Museum of Natural History is looking for a Project Archivist, to work on the newly-acquired archives relating to the geologist William Buckland (1785-1856). This is a full-time post for 18 months. Apply by 15th January. #histsci #geo

Are there any good popular-science style essays about economic geology, in particular mineral resources? I'm thinking of something in the style of McPhee or Bjornerud but about hydrothermal disseminated ore bodies, or placer deposits. Thanks for any recommendations or leads.

Book vending machine

Sometimes the little things make the biggest difference. I visited a school with a book vending machine. The principal said kids earn tokens for good grades, helping each other, and so on. They can then use a token to get a free book.

She said the kids love choosing their own books!

This has to be a topic that is in demand in the future given ambitions to use the subsurface for decarbonisation related technologies 👇
