Geoconvention that is the largest integrated Earth Science program in Canada, will be held on 15-17 May in Calgary: https://t.co/4y8W0y8ol6
The conference includes a wide variety of sessions including many of direct interest to sedimentologists.
@sedimentology@pembertron and I will be chairing the Sedimentology, Stratigraphy and Paleontology session. Looking forward to seeing everyone attend. https://t.co/ofMs3LzzAI
NERD ALERT...the atmospheric heights will be SO LOW tonight, anyone living above 4,000 ft or so (hello top of Mount Washington) will be in a different atmospheric layer entirely, the stratosphere! This layer is typically 4-12 miles up, but tonight it will be less than a mile!
Mount Washington, New Hampshire, has experienced the most extreme weather on planet Earth today.
Wind chills have dipped as low as -109°F, which is cold enough to give someone frostbite in about 1 minute.
This week in Satellite Geology we look at the Mauna Loa Northeast Rift Zone Fissure 3 Pre- to Post-Eruption. Various satellites and the different sensor packages reveal the lava flows in great detail, often through cloud cover. With Dallin Laycock and Richard MacKenzie.

A great breakdown of the concept of Mission Command, and how it was not applied to the Battle of Goose Green.
The 'poster children' for rivers on Mars turn out to be perhaps the strangest rivers we know of. All linked to rapid megaflood-triggered base-level rise! Now out in Geology: open access. Led by @GeomorphicJosh with @bedform@Mattbalme https://t.co/6KRZgr7W0K

A historic delegation gathered to represent Canada at the commemorative events taking place in London in honour of Her Majesty.
Oh hey, the Alberta Government did one of those 4:52 p.m. news releases.
They're cancelling 11 recently issued coal leases.
That might sound significant but the affected areas are very small additions (black) to much larger existing coal leases (grey) in the area. #ableg
