Did you know deep Earth blobs are linked to volcanoes, but they may be mobile rather than fixed, and assemble and break apart like (super)continents

Cosmogenic nuclide techniques provide tools for exposure age dating, burial dating & quantification of denudation rates, and have revolutionised geosciences. Here's a comprehensive review co-authored by GeoQuEST member A.T. Codilean. https://t.co/dtx8K1P9Jc

Very exciting to see our #GBR #mangrove research led by @Shamylto featured in today's @smh and @theage Can't wait to decipher some of the secrets of these magic mangroves!!!

Join us on zoom for the GeoQuEST seminar today at 12:30! Today speaker is prof. Colin Woodroffe, who will be giving a talk on "Coastal response to sea-level rise: a biogeomorphological perspective"

[Nicholas Deutscher @nick_deutscher]

This includes trying to develop low cost sensors to markedly increase our coverage, as well as concerted efforts to measure CO2, methane AND nitrous oxide #UOWSEALS @UowCac @GeoQuEST_UOW
