"Cool geophysics! 🌍 In 1981, Dziewonski & Anderson introduced the Preliminary Earth Model (PREM), based on seismic data, experiments, & modeling. It shows Earth's radial density, linking mass, gravity, & pressure to depth (assuming a sphere). Groundbreaking! #EarthScience"

... geodynamic modelling sometimes gives funny results. Trying to get some continental collision going, but not quite there yet 🏔️👀

🧶📢 Submit an abstract to our session “Journey into hot and deep fluid-rock interactions” and come to Cagliari (Italy) next June 2025! See more info at: unica-wri-18.it/sessions-list/

📢Calling geoscientists tackling complex problems in petrology, geodynamics, & more!🌍Join us at EGU 2025 for out interdisciplinary session "Addressing Non-Unique Solutions to Petrological Problems." Submit abstracts by Jan 15, 2025. Keynote: Prof. E. Moulas (JGU Mainz)! #EGU25

On the way back to Göttingen, flying over the Dachstein Massif at 11,000 meters with a perfect view of the Dachstein Südwand. The Alps are always impressive from above. 🏔️✈️ #Dachstein #Alps #mountainviews

💥Make more of your Zr-in-titanite thermobarometry with ZirTiDiS! Retrieve quantitative estimates on the cooling histories and -rates recorded by your rocks, depending on grain size and user-specified activities of TiO2 & SiO2. #ZiTtemperature #MATLAB zenodo.org/records/111840…

🔥 Looking forward to an exciting and interesting workshop and a few days full of discussions about melt and fluid inclusions with @silvio_ferrero! 🏔🔬Come and join us next Monday, 18 March @geoGoettingen #metamorphism #petrology #meltinclusions #fluidinclusions

📣💥 Do you like thermochronology applied to metamorphic rocks? Then you might be interested in this numerical modelling study published in GEOLOGY exploring exothermic reactions and their effects on the Ar-system. Teaser: hydration causes younging! pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/ar…

…early results of multicomponent diffusion modelling in polyphasic garnet – here showing some sweet uphill diffusion of almandine. Yellow dots are the EMPA data, red is the presumed initial composition and blue is the model.

💥Really satisfying when the model fits experimental data, here in an Arrhenius plot of tracer diffusion coefficients in garnet. Another step towards implementing multicomponent diffusion modelling! Awesome to learn from the masters here @uni_mainz!

Interested in #mineral reaction textures and high-temperature #metamorphism? Then check out our new open access publication on #granulite facies rocks from the Bohemian Massif. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jm…

Check this one out if you are intersted in high-pressure metamorphism, eclogites and melting! Excited to see this collaboration between #UniGraz & #UniVienna published.

Keen to join some exciting discussions on #metamorphism in the #earlyEarth at the #Goldschmidt2023? Then come join us tomorrow in room R3, starting 08:30! @richardmpalin will kick it off talking about #TTG genesis! Convening with @domsorger and @HartnadyMichael! See you there!

⚠️⌚️Less than a week until the @goldschmidt2023 abstract deadline! Join @domsorger, @HartnadyMichael and myself in our session about #metamorphism on the #earlyEarth! Our keynote is by @richardmpalin. Invited speakers are Jill Kendrick, Renée Tamblyn & @silvia_volante!

I have published the first tutorial for XMapTools 4.1 on the resources website resources.xmaptools.ch/tutorial-epma-… It will guide you through the classification, standardization and visualisation of EPMA data using maps from Duesterhoeft & Lanari (2021), JMG 38, 527-55 @XMapTools #tutorial

Dear @goldschmidt2023-attendees!📢 You love #earlyEarth🌍 processes and #metamorphism but can’t decide on a session to share and discuss your research? Worry no longer! Join us in our session 4d with @domsorger & @HartnadyMichael in Lyon! Our keynote will be by @richardmpalin!👇

Thin section of a jadeite-K-feldspar-phengite orthogneiss from the Sesia Zone - one of the few occasions where fresh jadeite is preserved in a felsic rock! Beautiful, I think... 🤩

Our most recent paper on the petrogenesis of the #Archean ultramafic rocks from the Isua supracrustal belt is already online and ready for you. Check it out! @GzgPetro agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

We have three fully-funded positions in petrology/geochemistry (two PhD and one Postdoc) at the University of Bern. The goal of this project is to quantify the redox budget and element fluxes triggered by serpentinite dehydration during subduction. earthworks-jobs.com/geoscience/ber…
