The Laacher See, a volcanic caldera lake in Rhineland-Palatinate (🇩🇪), site of a major Plinian eruption around 13,000 years BP. The phonolitic magma contains #carbonatite xenoliths that were used to determine the longevity (10-20 kyr) of the magma system: academic.oup.com/petrology/arti…

The Palatinate region is a paradise for those who appreciate a good glass of wine. With its golden vineyards & charming towns, the Palatinate region and the amazing 85km Deutsche Weinstrasse are an absolute must-visit at this time of year - it's an experience you won't forget!

Nice #amphibole in an #amphibolite from the NW Highlands, Scotland (Keele GGE collection) for #ThinSectionThursday.

#ThinSectionThursday! A beautiful micaschist from the Scottish Highlands (a sample of the Keele GGE collection) with muscovite, biotite, chlorite and quartz.

Recent job posting: Researcher/Senior Scientist for Metamorphic Geology at the Geological Survey of Finland focused on Precambrian Geology and metallogeny. Permanent position, deadline 29 March 2024. See here: gtk.fi/en/job/researc… #metamorphism #Finland #metals #geology

A nice first Keele University 🐿️ #Germany volcanology field course has come to an end. Even a colleague from elsewhere sneaked in 😀🌋 Keele GGE Keele Petrology

Some spectacular days so far on our Keele Geology field course to the Lake District Keele GGE Keele Petrology

#Santorini - well known for the fantastic volcanic caldera and the picturesque fish restaurants. Even more fascinating is the story that plutonic xenoliths tell about magmatic differentiation - here's our new paper: jvolcanica.org/ojs/index.php/… Ralf Gertisser Keele GGE GEOMAR_en

The D-Day has arrived, the website agcj.org of Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry (AGC) journal is launched! What is AGC journal? A DOA journal dedicated for geo/cosmochemistry by and for researchers! More info will come soon!
