eRock

An open-source repository of virtual outcrops and samples in 3D. For outreach, education & research.

Led by Adam Cawood & Clare Bond at Aberdeen Uni.

Been awhile since we tweeted, but remember this resource if you are needing alternative fieldwork options... also remember it is a community resource so if you develop extra material please share them with me @DrCEBond so I can upload them for all 😊

Our first female president, Janet Watson, often sketched in herself in the last few pages of her field notebook - these two sketches from our archives capture her sense of humour in relation to Fieldwork in Scotland 📒 #GSLWomen

Dr Jess Wade has created more than 300 Wikipedia pages since January to make sure women in science get the recognition they deserve.

@seis_matters @AAPG @DavidKCurtiss @EC_Kosters @claraexplores More than happy to help @AAPG reach out to that broader/diverse community that’s is out here. We are part of @AAPG and we are proud of it but we can improve representation in leadership positions. It is also our responsibility to help in this task. How do nominations work?

@sandramcgeo @rschott @meg_stewart @NadWGab Would be interested to hear about your experience with https://t.co/lpHABr8xfQ we are just building eRock as a community resource

[eRock @eRocktweets]

@seis_matters @GeolJR Also...I love being able to fly and get map views, or out to sea to look back at an inaccessible cliff...

[eRock @eRocktweets]

@seis_matters @GeolJR Virtual models can definitely help and for those who cannot access the field, for whatever reason, they are a great way to participate. In an ideal world the two should go hand in hand.

Nice little app for the travelling geo 🤓 https://t.co/gXICgNECs2

Lava and ice.

Extremely hot (~1100C) basaltic lava passing over blocks of ice. The lava instantly sublimates the ice and the resulting vapor causes bubbles to form in the lava. Icelandic #volcano fans might even notice the resulting jökulhlaup (outburst flood).
