@VictoriaLinnea1 Wer schummelt im Dschungel? Mogli!

Was ist weiß und sieht hinter einem Baum hervor? Eine schüchterne Milch!

@jason_loxton Amazing thread! @OutcropWizard is a crowd-sourcing app to find interesting outcrops. Lets you create fieldtrips for students to take on their own... just put in the outcrop and add whatever information/literature/data you want the students to get. Still new but growing!

Next time when you have a bad day remember the thiefes who went through the trouble of breaking into our department and stealing a safe that actually contains radioactive and poisonous lab materials that might kill them should they try to open it #truestory

The fire is burning, an interrupted card game lays on a boulder and from the boiling pots in the truck`s kitchen comes a smell of roasted chicken, but nobody is there ... #OffToTheDesert: https://t.co/Z5R201cmXa @GUtech_Oman @fz_juelich @UniCologne @UniBonn @RWTH

At our beach camp of the last couple of days two things are very obvious. First, Gösta always makes us park in “direction of escape” and second, if you wish to avoid the toilet-tent and instead use the beach – better do it early ... #OffToTheDesert: https://t.co/Z5R201cmXa

Finally we are in my study area!!

[Geoverbund ABC/J @Geoverbund_ABCJ]

Today we spend the whole day on a terrace. I know what kind of image this sentence probably triggers: armchairs, homemade lemonade, sunglasses and general relaxation. Forget that ... #OffToTheDesert: https://t.co/Z5R201cmXa @RWTH @UniBonn @UniCologne @fz_juelich @GUtech_Oman

The good thing about #hydrogeochemistry #fieldwork in the desert: you can climb up waterfalls without freezing afterwards.
The downside: spring water is at annual mean temp., so 35°C, meaning getting drenched feels a lot like peeing yourself. Fun times!

#Blog: Off to the #Desert! But why should we? We will report on our students' experiences @RWTH @UniBonn @UniCologne directly from the south-eastern tip of the #ArabianPeninsula for about three weeks. Here is the first blog post: https://t.co/BFNd5MH35F @fz_juelich @GUtech_Oman
