Professor of Geology @NjordUiO @UniOslo. I love #shearzones, #faults, #EBSD, mountains, travelling, wine, @juventusfc :) 🇪🇺🇮🇹⛰

🚨👇How much plastic damage does a deep #earthquake produce?We measured residual stress in exhumed seismic faults with HR-#EBSD and calculated the energy budget of the earthquake. Nice work, thanks ⁦@EXCITE_network⁩ and ⁦@forskningsradet⁩! ⛰️🔬 https://t.co/DAWIkAXEGb

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

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

Ready to sail! On the way to #Corsica for exciting field work with the @DFT_UniBologna team!

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

Thanks @DFT_UniBologna for the kind hospitality and for all the good discussions!

[Deformation, Fluids, Tectonics Group #UniBO @DFT_UniBologna]

DFT presentation
Thanks to Prof. @MicroLuca (University of Oslo) for his insightful seminar on the geology of the lower-crustal #earthquake in Lofoten (Norway), with a focus on the genesis of #pseudotachylyte at the DFT group meeting.

@glgysteve @NjordUiO One of the best, if not the best, delta clast that I’ve seen. Super!

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

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

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

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. 👇🎬🎥⛏️🔬⛰️

[Njord Univ. of Oslo @NjordUiO]

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 https://t.co/XrMG6Av3dl

Enjoy!! 🍿 🎥

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

It has been an incredibly inspiring and exciting June so far, discussing #earthquakes, #tectonics, #geophysics, #microstructures and other cool things with wonderful colleagues from around the world, first in the magnificent #Lofoten and then at @DNVA1, thanks everyone! 🤩⛰️🔬

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

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

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

On the way to some nice outcrops… #fieldwork ⛰️☀️

[Njord Univ. of Oslo @NjordUiO]

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

[Njord Univ. of Oslo @NjordUiO]

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

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

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!

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

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 😊⛰️🔬

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

Looking forward to speaking in Torino in the cradle of the #Alps ⛰️🔬!

@wukaimi @KeepItRheol @martijnende @Harold_Tobin @sheared_sash Hi all, very nice discussion! Kamil’s question: I’d say that thinning, flattening and shearing of survivor clasts via e.g. dislocation creep is a good criterion to identify later viscous creep of quenched melt.

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

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!

@MarcoSave Ciao Marco! Great, looking forward to seeing you in Oslo again soon! We were just discussing PFC models today… 😊

[Luca Menegon @MicroLuca]

There we go, I couldn’t resist and played with my Google Scholar Wordcloud 😅 Cool!
