Hi all, I will no longer be active on Twitter/X. If you wish to stay connected, I’ll be happy to see you on other social media. Best wishes, Luca

Very good catch of the day doing #fieldwork on faults and shear zones in the subduction channel, where fluids were passing through rocks from the Earth’s mantle. Enjoying #geology and stunning sceneries with great crew of friends and colleagues from @Unibo

#thinsectionthursday here’s an (ultra)mylonite with sick delta porphyroclasts and folded monomineralic layers. At the outcrop I thought I was sampling a sheared quartzofeldspathic dyklet but the mineral assemblage says otherwise. Dark layers are full of amph, grt, bt, fsp. 😁😱

Now the question is: has Gemma really found a mini-sample of the Calabrian #pseudotachylyte in her daily rock hunting session on the beach??

The lower crust is strong and can generate earthquakes during continental collision. This happened 420 million years ago, when Baltica and Laurentia collided to form the mighty Scandinavian Caledonides. Watch @sheared_sash telling us how it happened. 👇🎬🎥⛏️🔬⛰️

Straight from the Goldschmidt Lab at UiO we present to you @sheared_sash giving a rundown on his latest paper: Dating fossil lower-crustal earthquakes by in-situ apatite U-Pb geochronology mn.uio.no/njord/english/… Enjoy!! 🍿 🎥

Let’s go! Great start of the day/week with the FricFrac conference at @DNVA1 with many international speakers! Looking forward to inspiring discussions. @NjordUiO

Yesterday was our Njord Day - a day of light science, art, and culture. What a beautiful day to celebrate our diversity and interests!

Another year of @EuroGeosciences comes to a close. Our ECS showcased Njord’s strengths in understanding earth processes brilliantly. A week full of strengthening connections, meeting new people, and developing skills. Can’t wait for next year! #EGU24

Hello @EuroGeosciences! We are looking forward to seeing you again soon for another cool week of science and networking in the beautiful Vienna.
Njord Univ. of Oslo@NjordUiO

Off to Vienna for #egu24 ! Many ECS members of our Njord family are giving presentations on glacier dynamics, molecular dynamics modelling of fractures in basalts, fracture experiments, and microstructures on fault rocks from the lower-crust. Check them out and see you in Vienna!

I had a great time in Turin teaching orogenesis and applied structural #geology in the last two weeks! A lovely city in the cradle of the #Alps. Thanks @rodo34751929 for the kind hospitality, maybe next time in Norway to look at the #Caledonides 😊⛰️🔬

Nice work that managed to date lower-crustal fossil #earthquakes from Lofoten for the first time, combining U-Pb on apatite with #EBSD and CL. Lower-crustal faults and shear zones are preferential fluid conduits in the otherwise dry lower crust even long after they formed
Sascha Zertani@sheared_sash

We have an age! Check out our latest paper on dating lower-crustal earthquakes! We combined apatite U-Pb data with microstructural observations (EBSD, CL). Open access! @MicroLuca @NjordUiO authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

@MicroLuca Nice! And according to this pic we should then keep on talking :). If everything goes well, we should stop by to Olso this spring/summer too!
