If you work with #naturalhazards and like blending #physics based #simulation with novel #machinelearning & #deeplearning methods, Dr Filippo Gatti & I welcome you to join our interdisciplinary session titles "Hybrid modeling of natural hazards: blending deep-learning and physics-based simulations" at #EGU #EGU23 @EuroGeosciences #research #geoscience

Hello! Excited to be here, though still figuring it all out. I'm a #geologist who uses #geochronology, #geochemistry and #fieldwork. I'm currently trying to answer questions like when and why does it rain in the Sahara, and where is the Archaean basement terrane boundary north of the Scottish mainland? I run the #LAICPMS lab in the University of Hull, am a Deputy Editor in Chief for the #journalofthegeologicalsociety and am a mum of 3. Life is not boring 😵💫😴
I have a student working on a class project on CA's Central Valley. We are absolutely stumped trying to find any specific paleoclimate data (like 10000-100000 years) for the valley. The answer might be that it doesn't exist, but if anyone has any ideas, let me know. #paleoclimate
One of the challenges of making good #maps is choosing colours that work well for those with colour deficiency. To help I use a simulator on my phone.
I tried it out at the grocery store and was surprised by how everything looked yellow.

Really useful resource!

My mind is blown by this global geological map resource https://macrostrat.org/map/#x=16&y=23&z=2 Just zoom into somewhere you know and look at the detail…

I went hiking in the Ozarks on Saturday morning and stumbled on a small patch of frost flowers!
This is the first time I've seen them, and I was surprised to see them this late in the year. Frost flowers typically form during the first few hard freezes of fall when sap in certain small plants freezes, rupturing the stem and forcing water out. The water freezes on contact with the air and builds up into distinctive flower-shaped petals!
I am a Tlingit Indian artist and poet from Sitka, Alaska. Trying to get the hang of Mastodon. A sample of my artwork below.
This piece is “Behind the Mask: The Infinite Self” at Stonington Gallery in Seattle. Acrylic on birch, abalone and mother-of-pearl inlay, and gold leaf.

For people looking for #community on #Mastodon, one option is the page https://a.gup.pe. The attached image is the crux of how it works. Essentially tag or follow @ Whateveryouwanthere @ a.gup.pe (without the spaces, of course), it will create the group and boost anything it receives, so you get the activity of the community. #Bookstodon already has one (@ bookstodon @ a.gup.pe). #indigenous #CormacMcCarthy are two I've seen some conversation about recently.
“For deep time is measured in units that humble the human instant: millennia, epochs and aeons, instead of minutes, months and years. Deep time is kept by rock, ice, stalactites, seabed sediments and the drift of tectonic plates. Seen in deep time, things come alive that seemed inert. New responsibilities declare themselves. Ice breathes. Rock has tides. Mountains rise and fall. We live on a restless Earth.”
― Robert Macfarlane, Underland: A Deep Time Journey
Unexpected focal mechanism for M7.0 earthquake near #Solomon Islands. I would have expected a shallow thrust #earthquake on the #subduction interface, but it appear to be a steep #normal #faulting event. As of yet, only possible #tsunami waves on the nearby Honiara sea level station are a few cms in amplitude.
The UN's Dag Hammarskjöld library is holding a virtual event on #OpenAccess for Climate Justice. I'm glad this conversation is continuing well beyond the initiatives from OA Week in October.
The event is next week (30 November) and it's free. If you're advocating #OpenScholarship #OpenScience and trying to make sure that everyone has access to critical knowledge, here is the link to register https://research.un.org/conferences/webinar3
LISTEN: In audio obtained by ProPublica, an anti-abortion lobbyist suggests to Tennessee lawmakers -- who passed the nation's most restrictive abortion ban -- that IVF and contraception could be further regulated in a few years’ time.

@clbmanning At Geohaz.org we hire someone local (preferably a technical person or someone in the field of disaster risk reduction for our work) and that person serves as a critical advisor to us and a knowledgeable communicator with the community and leadership. The local person knows a ton and can steer efforts in the right direction. They know who key stakeholders and influencers are, and know what the community needs and wants. #engaging the #community
Boudinage are one of the most spectacular geologic structures and some of my favorite rocks.

#WaterscenesoftheCenozoicWednesday is here again, so here's #paleoart of Conflicto, an ancient, Antarctic relative of ducks and geese that lived pretty much immediately after the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs. We have really excellent fossils of this bird so, despite it not being especially closely related to any living species, we know it strongly resembled modern geese.
Friendly #Mastodon tip of the Day 2
Filters are your best friend. If you don’t want content about Elon Musk , go to Preference > Filters and make one for "Musk".
Or #Twitter. Or anything you don't want to see.
Those posts will be hidden, and filters can be time-limited. So if you just want to filter out football chat during the world cup, you can do that.
🔃Reblog and follow me for more daily tips.
