Geologist/oceanographer & national park fan, would rather be outdoors... #NASASocial, JOIDES Resolution & NOAA TAS Alum, science storyteller w/quilts, she/her

[Dr. G @guertin]

Working on processing events of the past 24 hrs and what will take place in the future - so I spent the day today creating a #quilt I've titled "Processing". Also processing that I should move off this platform - find drlauraguertin at bsky/threads/IG

Election Day! Voting completed. Let’s hope this #frontdoor #quilt has inspired and reminded people to #vote!

@deepseadawn @ArcGISStoryMaps Thanks for this - a new link for me! I found the blog post I was looking for (such a great list) https://t.co/oYdlZUF9Ix

[Dr. G @guertin]

Geotweeps! @deepseadawn made a fantastic list of her favorite ocean-themed @ArcGISStoryMaps in a blog post - and I can't find the URL! Anyone have it handy? Thank you!

[Dr. G @guertin]

Congratulations to this year’s winners of the #EarthScienceWeek Photo Contest at @PSUBrandywine! Students and faculty/staff took their photos to match the theme and used Adobe Express to enhance their images. And thanks to the Brandywine Library for displaying our winners!

[Dr. G @guertin]

It was a perfect activity for #EarthScienceWeek - my students connected with @EVNautilus for a ship-to-shore conversation around hydrographic surveying, as well as overall learning about marine technology and living/working at sea.

An article for students this week... (seeing as it is mid-Oct. and 80 degrees F in Philadelphia right now, it seems appropriate)

[Yale Environment 360 @YaleE360]

Scientists still cannot explain the recent spike in global temperatures.

"It’s still pretty much amateur hour in terms of assessing what actually happened," says NASA's top climate scientist, Gavin Schmidt.

Read his conversation with Elizabeth Kolbert:

Looking forward to sharing this @Chikyu_JAMSTEC video with students tomorrow, learning how preparing for hazards in the coastal zone involves looking offshore and at depth in the ocean #IODP #Chikyu #JTRACK #JAMSTEC

I tried to do an exercise with students this week in my coastal oceanography course, but when I went to the website to finalize assignment details, I found out the data were inaccessible. I showed the site to students, so they can see such wide-ranging impacts from this hurricane

[NOAA NCEI @NOAANCEI]

NCEI headquarters in Asheville, NC, has been severely impacted by Hurricane Helene. We’re grateful to report that all employees and staff have been accounted for and all data holdings are safe, though archived data is currently unavailable.

…and I would add the ocean, too! Such a beautiful piece.

As the #IODP program/@TheJR concludes, it's important to reflect upon how we got here (CUSS 1, Glomar Challenger, JR) & know we will continue forward. In the words of Harry Hess, "It is too important a scientific project to be relegated to the next decade"

[ANZIC @anzic_iodp]

It's time to celebrate the amazing achievements of the International Ocean Discovery Program (#IODP) - which officially ends today.

Over the week, we'll highlight some of the monumental ways that IODP has contributed to our understanding of the world around us.

Stay tuned!

[Dr. G @guertin]

@rachael_e_gray Ah! Thanks for letting me know! It was fun to do the research behind the statue, and I’m glad the story is being shared.

[Dr. G @guertin]

I'm not sure why there is a spike in the number of people looking at this blog post the past couple of days... but for those that still haven't seen it, learn the history behind the JOIDES Resolution (@TheJR) mascot, Patrick the Safety Penguin!

@La_U_Re_N Thank you! You are too kind. We are still in the early stages. Next chapter will be out by AGU!

[Dr. G @guertin]

Today, my team announced our open educational resource on scientific ocean drilling during our talk at #GSA2024! The first 1/3 of the #OER is now available on @pressbooks & includes some history about #SciOD, drilling vessels, video/audio/H5P & more!

So far, this is the only spot in Anaheim I haven’t seen anyone wearing mouse ears - but I’ve only been in the Convention Center to pick up my name badge so far. Let’s see if any ears appear when #GSA2024 kicks off its technical program tomorrow….

[Dr. G @guertin]

You know your conference is already off to a great start when you make your connecting flight with minutes to spare (phew!). On my way to #GSA2024!

[Dr. G @guertin]

May more and more of these hidden figures be elevated and celebrated for their achievements - form the past and present

“Challenger was one step in a gradual evolution from “ship as instrument” to “ship as laboratory.” But in recent years… many ships today are now “invisible technicians”” - it’s fascinating to reflect upon how the process of science at sea has changed through time

[JSTOR Daily @JSTOR_Daily]

Sailing ships were once used as scientific instruments themselves, but in the 1800s, ships like the HMS Challenger were transformed into floating laboratories. https://t.co/HLoMdY6Q2s
