🤩 9 amazing research papers and a brilliant editorial, all freely available, thanks to the collective effort of our community #DOJ #OpenScience ⚒️👇🏽

As Farage gears up for appearing on BBC One about grooming gangs, it is really important that he is called out on it. There have already been inquiries into grooming gangs. Likes of Farage want to make them about race, they aren't, and trying to pretend otherwise allows other offenders to carry on 👇

Now we're looking for an "enthusiastic PhD student"...🙄

When I was in academia, an autistic PhD student once kindly educated me about how conveying *enthusiasm* was, for them, incredibly challenging...

Ready for some more interesting facts about earthquake magnitude?

Each whole number increase in magnitude is a 10x increase in the measured amplitude (size of earthquake waves recorded on a seismometer), but represents 32x more energy released.

This video gives a visual demonstration.

I’m building this in a way that is automatic. You can focus on building your Owlstown academic website, and the text-only version is automatically created. No fuss, no extra work.

Ammonite is much loved in Japan. The logo of the Paleontological Society of Japan is an ammonite. For the most people, a fossil = an ammonite fossil.

Geothermal power is vying to be a major player in the world’s clean-energy future With technical advances and enthusiasm from policymakers, advocates say the time for next-generation geothermal has come.

Another example why the world needs more geologists and geoscientists. Another route for geology to save the world and a great way to make a job market for those leaving the oil and gas industry 🧪⚒️ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Less than a month for the AGU annual meeting in Washington D.C. to take place. There are whispers that we are on site with Geomorphica stickers! Share this post if you want some, then we know how many to pack! See you 💙

Here’s how the Sun will end all life on Earth Our home star won't go supernova, but the end of its life will be no less spectacular.

Anyway here’s a cheerful piece about how the Sun will eventually destroy all life on Earth (but not by exploding, so, you know, there’s that)

A pie chart representing gender distribution in a total of 1,521 individuals, showing 89% male (1,352) and 11% female (169).

It should not escape our attention as to how few FRS are women (11%!), but yet it took a woman to set an example.

thank you so much! 😊

Calling all #Mineral Physicists, Experimental Petrologists, Geophysicists, Geodynamicists and Geochemists studying the Deep #Earth and Planetary Interiors! I have created a Starter Pack! Please share, and let me know of other people or organizations on here who should be added! go.bsky.app/TapnEve

Hi! Could you please add me to this one? Thanks! 😊

Not only did they love the thin section images, but they were also happy to learn how to use the stereonet to plot structural data 🌐. Would love to do this again soon. 👌🇮🇳 🇯🇵 🤝

Some 780 million years ago, a massive, singular continent, Rodinia, was being torn apart by convective forces within the Earth. In Glacier National Park this tumultuous event is marked by a thin, dark igneous rock, squirted between layers of limestone, the Purcell Sill, adding favor to Mt. Gould.

It's up!!!! My Explainer video for BlueSky beginners.

I cover how to find your Twitter followers, Starter Packs, Feeds, Lists, some handy-dandy tools, and BlueSky etiquette.

Please watch and/or share with any newbies you know. I think it's helpful.

So I’m learning to make @bsky.app really work for you requires learning the tools- just added a “Mutual” feed so I can see posts from those who both I follow AND they follow me! And now I see there are other ways to get the feeds you want- thanks to @allochthonous.bsky.social for these geo feeds!

This is why AI sucks so much. It does not return correct information. It returns incorrect correct-sounding information, written confidently.

Thanks Samuele! 🤗

Here are beautiful well formed Almandine garnets in Quartz. I don't just love fossils, minerals are fun too!

Hi Samuele! Could you please also add me to this? Thanks! 😊
