You will no doubt be aware of the great #pineapple on #pizza debate. Brace yourself for #banana on #pizza …

For the record, it wasn’t bad. Wouldn’t recommend banana for every pizza, but it worked for this one.

There have also been a bunch of small aftershocks in the magnitude 2-3 range with the biggest at magnitude 3.9.

For the #neotectonic fans, the magnitude 5.1 #earthquake near Te Aroha, North Island, New Zealand on Wednesday 4 January produced a surface rupture!

We were woken up this morning at 5:39 am by the the first #earthquake #eqnz I have felt in a long time. Magnitude 5.1 near Te Aroha, about 60 km from where I am as the tui flies. See the details on #Geonet here: … https://t.co/39qs85DFpE

How old is #Australia? Depends on what rock you are looking at...

Some #archery fun! A novelty shoot this weekend at the Monaro Archers (https://t.co/Mx2fdw97x2) with some takes on traditional archery targets from Asia. A rare windless morning so great shooting with a couple of excellent rounds -… https://t.co/ScVqXmfi2c

@VeetheRockChick @GeoscienceAus @MadeleineMHKing @VeetheRockChick I'm sure we can find you some zircon separates if you are looking for some Zen time at a microscope...🧘

Great to have Minister King open the new @GeoscienceAus #Laboratory. And great to be back to geoscience data acquisition informing Australian governments, communities and industry about the Earth.

Will get more images of the new lab out there soon for the #geotwitter mob!

I touched the moon 👇🏽🌓

And I formally opened the new laboratory of @GeoscienceAus alongside CEO Dr James Johnson and the amazing team at #geoscience

These new labs provide important & enduring capacity to the national agency that discovers what Australia is made of 👏👏👏

@manenbu @KeepItRheol @mastodon I set up a Mastadon account a few weeks ago and it’s going well. As always there is a learning curve, but there is plenty of help around. It’s a different pace and crowd (but also many of the same people if you look). Worth starting early rather then when the bird crash lands…

@RyanIckert @justsomeisotope Would Raman spectroscopy help?? It might identify what bonds are occurring to form the gel?

By way of #introduction… I manage a #geoscience #laboratory acquiring publicly available data for government, communities and industry in #Canberra on the awesome #Ngunnawal country.

Prepping the Mastadon storm shelter... it takes a little bit of figuring out, but so far it is worth it for a more pleasant rhythm. Let me know if you migrate: @[email protected]
