Besides Pyrenees, snow cover is at an all-time low in the the Alps too, close to an absolute minimum compared with a 30-year climatology (1991-2021) based on the work of @sgascoin ❄️🌡️😱 App : labo.obs-mip.fr/multitemp/apps… Method: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

@welovehistory How naturally regenerating trees sheltering a path were chopped down, or the huge fence blocking off access to the historic Radical Road…. Meanwhile a chronic lack of path maintenance means there is devastating erosion. Shame on you Historic Environment Scotland.

What's your favourite piece of Arthur's Seat trivia? You can find out more about exploring Holyrood Park and climbing this iconic Edinburgh summit using the maps and guides on our website: ow.ly/l0IV50Qq3jw

My favourite bit of Holyrood Park trivia? The Radical Road has been closed for more than five years including access to Edinburgh's most important geology. It's only through Freedom of Information requests that people can find out what's happening. Which is pretty much nothing.

One of those ‘out of left field’ things that could lead to a real disaster….

For those complaining about the wind, look at this hardy southern soul

November 25/26, 1930, Izu peninsula, #Japan, records 690 #earthquakes in one day, the strongest shake with a magnitude 7.3 kills 272 people. Studying this event Fusakichi Omori formulates Omori's law - describing the evolution of aftershock activity en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930_Nort…

This is how a wealthy few desecrate Scotland’s uplands, our uplands. #ClimateCrisis #BiodiversityCrisis #WhereAreTheTrees

@kippmichael Very cool👏 , love good science !

Putting it all together Access to nutrients played an important role in plant evolution, with angiosperms displacing cycads from their prior niches. This was revealed by a new tool (N isotopes in fossilized foliage), which can now be applied to other paleo-ecological questions.

Very excited to share a new paper out today that was nearly 10(!) years in the making. It’s a story about an ancient group of plants - cycads - and how they managed to survive to the present day while many of their peers went extinct. 🌿🌴🌺🦖🦕☄️🌏🧬 🧵

I’m looking for MS & PhD students! If you’re interested in #mineralogy, mineralogical signs of life, deep time, geo-bio coevolution, #planetary mineralogy & any #datascience in these fields - feel free to reach out! Applications are due Jan 15: grad.rutgers.edu/academics/prog… @RutgersEPS

Did you know the National Library of Scotland has thousands of old maps online for free - and you can even overlay them to see how the place where your ancestors lived changed over time? whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/tutorials/how-…

@CoastalPaleo @Paige_dePolo @chasmuseum Oh my, that is sad news. “I didn’t see it until I believed it” was one of his expressions I shall never forget. I enjoyed his classes and wit although ended up doing geophysics/structural geology.

☹️ hoping the very impressive Rachael Paul is OK

Join Nick Gardiner on 7 Nov 6-7pm as he discusses tin and lithium-bearing granites - both from a metal supply perspective, and how geochemical tools can help us increase our understanding of their formation. Register today geolsoc.org.uk/11-Public-Lect… #GSLLecture #EnergyTransition
