@seanpbryan Thanks, Sean! It's great to know that they're being put to good use.

@Colo_kea Welcome back!

Learn how #VirtualReality is being used in geoscience classrooms! My latest for @earthmagazine Thanks to @phaneritic @Xeno_lith @giga_macro @AccessibleGEO @callanbentley for their insights! #geoscience #geology #fieldwork

@CosyNomad Congratulations!

I’m happy to announce I have taken a position as Assistant Professor of Sedimentology at University of West Georgia westga.edu/academics/cosm…

@eruptionsblog You're right. Deleting post now.

Want to know about the rock you are standing on? Learn the paleography? Take strike and dip? Find an outcrop? Check out #RockD app by @UWMacrostrat! Amazing for those interested in#geoscience.

@phaneritic @tsherryUSA @awrobinson79 I guess they were asking for an "act of God"...

I had forgotten all about my visit to Hollister in 2010 to capture the fault creep in digital photos. Here are a few of those images. Attn: @tsherryUSA & @phaneritic

@sfoxx @eruptionsblog Aaaah - I see. In that case, I suppose that the fractional crystallization evolution would indeed be mechanically similar, but from a subtly different initial basalt comps (incompatible element enriched for the Mauna Kea series vs. MORB-like for Kilauea), thus difft end products.

@sfoxx @eruptionsblog I think hawaiite is thought to originate from small degrees of partial melting, rather than the fractional crystallization that's inferred for Kilauea's evolved compositions.

@phaneritic This is why I'm not a stickler for magma vs. lava as mutually exclusive. I use "magma" for any (partially or wholly) molten rock - exclusively when it's underground, and interchangeably with "lava" when its above ground. Magma clearly connotes molten; lava can be solid or liquid.
