Do you have a colleague that has made an outstanding contribution to metamorphic petrology, relative to their career length to-date?! Nominate them for our 2023 Barrow Award! 🪨 ⚒️🔬

One of my favourite photos from the recent expedition to Patagonia. ⚒️ This is an ichthyosaur skeleton eroding out from the cliff. This trip was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. More exciting things to come. Thanks Judith Pardo-Pérez for leading a successful trip.

First day of the Sedbergh part of the 2nd Year Cambridge Earth Sciences fieldtrip. Great day looking at the many and varied rocks of Taythes Gill!

Two contrasting days of weather @sedbergh2022 Cambridge Earth Sciences ☔️☀️

Lovely day for a mapping exercise near Coniston, as we come towards the end of the 2nd year Cambridge Earth Sciences Sedbergh fieldtrip.

Interesting in pursuing a PhD at UC Berkeley investigating volatiles/melt inclusions/sulfury-goodness in Hawaiian volcanoes, the Cascades, the Andes or whatever your fav SiO2<60 volcano is? Please get in touch! tinyurl.com/2dcxvbww 🧵

CONFIRMED: Analysis of data obtained over the past 2 weeks by the #DARTMission team shows impact with Dimorphos has successfully altered the asteroid’s orbit by 32 minutes - marking the 1st time humans have changed the orbit of a celestial object in space! go.nasa.gov/3g2C5kp

What a surreal day! Arriving on site at 3am 31/12/2022 and spending a grueling but rewarding 14hrs closely monitoring 'Thor'. It's been an absolute honour and a privilege to be involved from the start and be part of such an amazing BDMLR team. Thor the Walrus - A thread↓🧵

Had a great time at the Metamorphic Studies Group meeting with the Cambridge Earth Sciences team! Heard about so much cool research and presented my ongoing work on the Midlands Microcraton - including early outputs from geochronology, funded by Yorkshire Geological Society.

We wish everyone at @goldschmidt2023 a fab time! Tomorrow, our Sophie Miocevich will talk about her work on the mysterious Midlands Microcraton🏔️🔬 The ancient chunk of rock beneath central England is revealing processes happening deep below mountain ranges like the Himalayas.

I am so excited to share our latest research – a fossil whale which may beat the blue whale to the title of heaviest marine animal ever! Say hello to Perucetus! 🇵🇪 Published today in Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Fantastic selection of presentations at the morning session of the Geologists' Association 2023 conference with Westmorland Geological Society at Brewery Arts

I'm glad I was able to visit Sycamore gap last year. It's awful knowing the tree has been felled. But I've really liked seeing all the photos/memories - so here's my cloudy contribution. Sycamore gap on a geology fieldtrip. Nature+rocks+archaeology = a great day out

OK #Science twitter - do your thing! We have written an open letter to Conservatives strongly opposing 'kicking woke ideology out of science' rhetoric & show they do not represent science. Please distribute widely! Screen readable text + signature form at hull.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/edi_in_science

How can we map anomalies on the core-mantle boundary nearly 3000 km deep? Carl Martin presents a fresh Bayesian methodology and its application to the anomaly at the base of the Hawaiian mantle plume and a 2-part paper. Part 1: academic.oup.com/gji/advance-ar…
