Published today – Prof Alan MacDonald, who is based at the Lyell, led this research. It provides insight into #Africa’s distribution of groundwater storage and recharge. It could help to protect against #climatechange and sustain groundwater pumping for #drinkingwater.

#Staffa (staff-ay; island of pillars) was named by the #Vikings, who were astonished to see an island held up by huge, regular sticks or staves. They believed the regular #hexagonal columns could not have been formed by natural forces, and must be the work of #gods or #giants.😀

I see that #Dykes is trending. Some sort of footballer apparently... When I hear "dykes" I think of these bad boys... Calgary. Lagganulva, Croggan, Loch Bà Ring Dyke... 😀

The Mull of Galloway is the southernmost point in Scotland. This outcrop is of the Carghidown Formation, which consists of calcareous greywacke with interbedded mudstones. This marine sedimentary rock was deposited around 444–433 million years ago during the Silurian Period.

"Researchers conclude that in the Northwest Pacific, the total hadal area is four times larger than that of trenches alone – roughly equivalent to the size of Alaska, Texas and Montana combined."

Am Buachaille on #Staffa. A pile of #basalt columns can only be seen fully at low tide. The bending columns are the result of #lava cooling at different rates over 59 million years ago! #Scotland #VisitScotland #historical #Highlands #Hebrides 📷 Peter Marston

Nice sample from the Ross of Mull pluton (Isle of #Mull, Scotland) showing magma mingling of dark, dioritic magma and granitic magma with large feldspars.

Nice to see this published and glad to contribute in a (very) small way. Hopefully it can help drive #HeatFromMines developments to help reach #NetZero
