We’ve just confirmed our keynote will be the brilliant Francesca Piccoli @geologyUniBern who plans to talk about dating fluid infiltration and deformation in ultramafic subducted oceanic lithosphere by perovskite geochronology! 🤩

Happy international mountain day! Our very own @melaniefinch_ is a Dr of Mountains 🏔

[Avid Research @avid_podcast]

Today is International Mountain Day!
Here at Avid Research we would also like to take the opportunity to appreciate how mountains form & recommend you listen in to my interview with @melaniefinch_ who researches Mountain development here https://t.co/SnjCb3JYMV

We love metamorphosed crenulations 😍

New paper alert! We investigated how hafnium isotopes in detrital and magmatic zircons can tell us about homogenisation and nature of the melt. Short explainer here, split over two videos with the second one in tweet 2/2 below. Download paper for free: https://t.co/Xj8CkMx7jt 1/2

[Ben Knight @CloseToTheWedge]

My first two PT pseudosections, with the aim of integrating the thermodynamic model data into @underworldcode (hopefully soon)

Day 73: Asymmetric folds indicating dextral shearing in a tourmaline pegmatite from Sierra de Quilmes, NW Argentina.

[Dr. Erin Martin (she/her) @ezzatweets]

Only straight-A students and geniuses get PhDs right? Wrong! I'm a uni #dropout with a #PhD, and some of my PhD holding friends didnt do high school math, or didn't even finish high school but got their degree later on. PhD is about passion & hard work !

#SciCommSeptember No.10 - Art of My STEM.

Rocks are the most amazing art! Especially when sliced to slivers thin enough that light can pass through them. My favourite STEM art is #ThinSectionThursday!

Great job Bruno! 🤩

Day 65: Folds in a banded quartzite from Cap de Creus, N Spain

#100DaysofGeoscience

[Avid Research @avid_podcast]

Don't forget I released an awesome interview with @melaniefinch_ the other week!
We talked about some amazing Geological concepts, including such intense parts of the world that can actually form mountains!

Day 62: S-C-C' fabric in a serpentinite from Rocca Canavese, Turin, Italy. Anisotropic rocks make the best fabrics 🤩

Day 63: I don't think "comet" porphyroclasts are an accepted term in structural geology, but this is an example of one. I'm not sure exactly how these form and I've only ever seen this one. This is in a mylonite from the Pichao shear zone NW Argentina #100daysofgeoscience

We love new zircon data 😍 Well Done @RibeiroBrunov
