"Of course a woman can have a career in Switzerland," she says. "But it doesn't help women when the media conveys the opposite." Regrettable headline but thankful for some different reporting. 20min.ch/story/wegen-di…

This letter by AVETH is so spot on. Thanks to those who put it together— you all perfectly summarized the issues. aveth.ethz.ch/wp-content/upl…

Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never

Hurray! to another great semester for the Structural Geology & Tectonics @ ETH Zurich group- here’s our end semester BBQ on the lake (missing some people but we do our best)!

“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality seems like oppression.”. I don’t know who first said this, but it couldn’t be more appropriate.

Tektonika's 1st volume is out!! Authors published their research at no cost. Readers get the peer-reviewed papers for free too. It'll be so forever! No company exploit the system, so total costs are <1k/yr. The rest is not magic but community effort. Thanks thanks thanks!

New paper out on blueschist deformation experiments!!! 🚨🚨🚨 From the exps we developed a flow law and some of the first rheological constraints on diffusional properties in amphibole. Structural Geology & Tectonics @ ETH Zurich . Check it out #OpenAccess #microboudinage agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

👏Congrats to 2 of our M.S. students who gave excellent thesis presentations this morning! Nora Schweizer working with Claudio Madonna and Markus Rast on the COSC-II drill core in Sweden & Dominic Hildebrandt (he/him) working with Whitney Behr, Jesus Muñoz-Montecinos and Leif Tokle on Syros island in Greece!

NEW PAPER with Whitney Behr and Jesus Muñoz-Montecinos. We present a novel approach to estimate permeability related to fluid flow at the depths of slow slip and tremor using rocks from Syros, Greece agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… 1/5

New work from rocks from on Syros! We hope our measurements will prove useful for understanding permeability in deep #subduction shear zones. Also hoping people will collect similar measurements from other areas so we can understand global variability. researchgate.net/publication/37…

New paper out! Want to learn more about the use of #Synchrotron XFM to unravel trace element compositions in #calcite veins? They record episodic and multi-scale fluid transport within accretionary wedges doi.org/10.1029/2023GC… Many thanks to Marco Herwegh and the🇨🇭-🇦🇺 team!

📢Tectonic Modelling Tuesday #69 - with numerical work by Whitney Behr & co. (from @ETH_ERDW, University of Miami Rosenstiel School, UT Jackson School of Geosciences) on the effects of plate interface rheology on subduction kinematics and dynamics😃 More details in their 2019 GJI paper: doi.org/10.1093/gji/gg…

I will also miss hearing from and learning from Tom Hanks. In addition to his seismology roots he was also fascinated by landscape dynamics, earthquake geology and crustal rheology. I used to get emails from him checking in around THanksgiving and will miss those too.
