Terrific impact story about increasing lab accessibility for MUN Earth Sciences students from NSERC / CRSNG. Kudos to the Michael Babechuk research group for thinking outside the box and creating a custom-built pipette station for a student with vision issues (nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Media-Media/Im…).

🗓️ Sunday is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. #IDPD2023 It reminds us to make every effort to ensure that everyone can fully take part in society, including research. Read about the accessible pipette station: ▶️ tinyurl.com/59crkn8f

Not to mention several 1.85-billion-year-old paleo-weathering profiles with textures remarkably similar to modern examples! One of the coolest geological stopping points in Canada.

Great to see this work by Chris Fedo* and I hitting this list! Nice to see there is interest in the new tetrahedral approach to studying clastic sedimentary processes!

More good news! In addition to being open access, check out the attached spreadsheets in the supplementary materials to be able to quickly calculate weathering indices and plotting positions for your own samples. There are also template calculations for common igneous rock types.

#DYK Newfoundland is the only province in Canada with an Irish language name? It was called “Talamh an Éisc” (the Land of the Fish) by Irish fishermen who emigrated there in the 1800s, mainly from Waterford. Today Waterford City is twinned with the capital of Government of Newfoundland & Labrador St. John's.

How do we collect our data that lies at >2 km depth on the seafloor? What kind of high-tech robots can go there (and come back😅)? Have a look at the video (English subtitles) to see our work at the Rainbow🌈 #hydrothermal_vent in the middle of the Atlantic🚢 #arcensub 2022

Check out the new paper led by @edel_osullivan! The Mo isotope ratios of some freshwaters could be explained by marine aerosols transported far into continental areas. This work revealed that such ratios are better explained by mineral dust: authors.elsevier.com/c/1jqkX4pTZHrn…
