⚒️Why do some slabs flatten at 660 km while others sink into the lower mantle? 🤔 Our new work shows it comes down to the overriding plate, mantle viscosity, and 💫 the slab bending ratio 💫 Check it out here: 👉📄 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Some gems from our student haikus on sustainable mining from our 4th year course Minerals, Metal and Materials for a Sustainable Future 😍 Definitely feeling the “pure exhausted like” vibe😅

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, remember:
-There are unfathomably many ways to be a woman.
-There are unfathomably many ways to be a scientist.
We're not gatekeeping being a woman in science today, or ever. We're learning, respecting, supporting, and celebrating. 🧪
Very nice to host @geoniette.bsky.social at EarthByte as part of our Sydney Uni 🤝 Glasgow Uni Ignition Grant on how variations in subduction angle affect volcanism and porphyry copper formation. A great start the year with lots of productive conversations and collaborations!
