Hello #Geotwitter! We'll be posting about Structural research @DurUniEarthSci 🌍🏔️⛏️

Here's a happy person who passed her viva today! Thanks to my reviewers @seis_matters and Jon Gluyas for making it such an enjoyable experience, and to all the people that help along the way! ❤️🤗

Is there any hope for ‘pure’ helium discovery in the East African Rift to rescue the global shortages? Check out our new paper from structural perspective https://t.co/94P2wY8MWS @k_mccaffrey @tomphillips14 @DU_Structural @OxUniEarthSci @DurUniEarthSci @BasinResearch @haniupekee

Thanks to @StCuthsCrook for participating in such a fantastic day of geoenergy and palaeoclimate change at Harehope Quarry, Weardale with @DurUniEarthSci Year-3 undergraduates😀

Had an amazing weekend in Snowdonia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 climbing the Gylderau range and Mt Snowdon via the Crib Goch Arête. Great weather with some stunning views of Wales. Bonus points for some cool geology like big sigma-type porphyroclasts and beautiful columnar jointed rhyolite.

For anyone interested in working with me on a PhD in this area I am advertising the following project through @IapetusDTP please get in touch if you're interested https://t.co/R1AqYeJkyj

[Durham Earth Science @DurUniEarthSci]

2 fully-funded PhD positions in Madeleine Humphrey's @ERC_Research project STEMMS:
(1) A crystal's eye view on mushy magma storage and remobilisation
(2) The plutonic record of crystal mush storage and solidification

Another preprint alert! 🚨🚨 https://t.co/6SDV25sDmX Check out our work examining changes in fault reactivation and coupling along-strike and how this affects inheritance!

[Katy Burrows @Burrows_geo]

Empirical models and InSAR coherence methods can both be used to detect triggered landslides after an earthquake, but what if we combine the two? A preprint of our new paper is open for discussion at https://t.co/gZdhAY1Qfa

A day out in the field today! Doing some reconnaissance/planning for a future Covid-safe local geophysics trip for @DurUniEarthSci students - Magnetic and EM surveying searching for a buried dyke - with an interested audience at times... 🐄 🐮

[Tom Phillips @tomphillips14]

This is me! Take a look 👀

[Tom Phillips @tomphillips14]

Also me! And @k_mccaffrey. Take a look!

Our new preprint is online! We use 3D numerical modelling to examine how crust with laterally changing lithologies and strength affects rift physiography

[stuart.jones@durham. @Stuartsediment]

What makes a good Ph.D. supervisor? Just delivered a really interesting workshop with Prof Del Atkinson (Physics Durham) to reassure new supervisors and enhance best practice @DurUniEarthSci @DurhamPhysics @EducByDesign😀👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓👨‍🎓

[Mark Allen @mb_allen]

15 minutes to go. Adrenaline kicking in. Showtime! #vEGU21

[Phoebe Sleath @PhoebeSleath]

Call for abstracts is now open for the William Smith Virtual Conference in October on Geological Mapping!! Deadline 18th June. See you there😃@geolsoc @TSG_since1970 @EnergyGroupGSL @GRSG_GeolSoc

[Jenny Jenkins @Earth_Sci_Jen]

Interested in a very short-notice cost estimate of broad band seismometers- anyone know some rough estimates off the top of their head? E.g. Guralp 3T/ESP, nanometrics trillium compact etc.

[Jenny Jenkins @Earth_Sci_Jen]

It's my first @EuroGeosciences conference! Come and hear about the interesting crustal structure around Istanbul - a mishmash of ancient crustal blocks stretched out by modern day tectonics - Wed EGU21-6040.
Hopefully the conference technically issues will be sorted by then🤞

[Lucille Carbillet @lucillecbt]

If you missed the presentation, it is not too late to join us for the rest of the session on Multiscale rock damage and then chat in a breakout room!
The session will be running until 10.30 am https://t.co/s8viTrZ51P
