Appalachian block diagram for the Johnson City, TN, area. This is a synthesis of several published studies, fit to Google Earth. Topographic relief is scaled accurately to structural thickness. The main event is the yellow/orange antiformal stack and the Buffalo Mountain klippe.

Today on the Leasehold Bill Committee. The @RFAssociation, who represent the big landlords, tried to persuade us that Ground Rents were justified & pension funds would suffer if they were abolished. Sorry. Not buying it!

New paper by @FlowsDynamic on how seafloor biology affects flows & sedimentation around submarine channel bends based on data from the Black Sea. Fun to work w @bedform @hyperpeaknal @morphodynamics @sedimorph and co on this study that is out at last! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Lava barrier appears to be doing its job well, bar the lava erupting from the part of the fissure on the Grindavík-side #Reykjanes

Anyone interested in doing a PhD with me on this exciting topic linking geoscience and environmental image data with eye 👁️ tracking. Deadline Jan 17th - see link and info below 👇

Really interesting - I have been following crypto for a number of years the underlying technology is amazing and looks like the SEC approval has finally legitimized #BitcoinETF

🌊 See the seabed of the Torres Strait as never before! Working with the Australian Hydrographic Office and @JCU we have released a seabed map of the whole Torres Strait in unprecedented detail, improving understanding of this precious environment 👉 bit.ly/3QMaliy.

Happy to announce our paper's acceptance by EPSL! 🎉 Submarine dense shelf water cascades can transform into supercritical turbidity currents, and this process is common on outer continental shelves worldwide. See our work in EarthArxiv: eartharxiv.org/repository/vie…

I am very sad to hear that my good friend and collegue Wojtek Nemec has passed away. He helped me immensely when I arrived in Bergen and we shared many good days in the field in Turkey and Portugal - sleep well old friend

We don’t really want to make ‘that’ language pun but we are sorry, we can’t be helped. Here goes. 🌋 Expect an explosive 🧨 day on the ninth stage to the Puy de Dome. So, we did it. Explosive day. Volcanoes. You get it? 🫣 We race through the volcanic Massif Central and it’s truly a mesmerizing part of the world. @npardov_volc of @CienciasUAndes 🇨🇴 explains you about the Chaines des Puys and its amazing geological history. She tells you how many monogenetic volcanoes make up one volcanic field that led to amazing landscapes you see from the helicopter today. Also keep an eye on our socials for the video @VanHinsbergen and the GeoSports team made @volcanlemptegy in France 🇫🇷 geo-sports.org/2023/stage-9-e… #geosports #geotdf #TDF2023

H2 storage in salt caverns for purposes of power generation is an unproven concept. Colocation of surface and subsurface resources will be key! We explore some of these challenges in our most recent paper --> shorturl.at/deRS0 @txgeosciences @Bureau3E 1/2

🚨Alert🚨 New preprint on @EarthArXiv! Dense shelf water cascade (or submarine waterfall) can transform into supercritical turbidity currents and significantly influence seabed morphology! Find out more about this process at👇 eartharxiv.org/repository/vie…

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson from the University of Reading shows how long it takes a cup of water to soak into parched ground. This is why heavy rainfall after a drought can be really dangerous & might lead to flash flooding buff.ly/3GZ3hLL

So how about everyone in the UK puts this on T-Shirt and wears it until the Tories finally exit through shame? OK, they have no shame, but you get the point... And don't blame COVID. It's been 'almost parabolic' since 2012. This is policy.
