Not wood…an interestingly shaped “club” of metagraywacke from the eastern Appalachian Blue Ridge in Pisgah National Forest. Rock fragments of this shape are common in the area due to metamorphic fabric and closely spaced joint intersection. Photo cred Liz Baron, ALC. @prf2022

@prf2022 this is the session i mentioned last week — come share your knowledge nuggets with the GSA community!

Trying to find small pockets of happiness right now, so I'm admiring my beautiful handmade award from @prf2022! Almost makes my maybe-permanent-finger-nerve-damage from instrumenting Antarctic rocks with tiny metal sensors worth it!

[Marius Huber @geohumarius]

At home now from @prf2022. I learned a lot about how rocks crack, many good memories from a beautiful venue, inspiring discussions and eventually a poster prize. Thanks to the sponsors @geosociety @NSF @psylotech @unccharlotte @COBRADurham and @CrpgNancy for making this possible

[Henry Gage @henrygage_]

For those interested I have included a copy of my poster which I (sadly) was unable to present in person! (3/3)

We had an incredible field day in Hickory Nut Gorge! Thanks to North Carolina Geological Survey, Appalachian Landslide Consultants, @BGCEngineering and @WCU for organising a great day!

Thank you to all of our conference sponsors for making it all possible and for allowing us to offer scholarships to maximise attendance from a range of traditionally underrepresented groups @geosociety @NSF @psylotech @unccharlotte @COBRADurham

[@PRF2022 @prf2022]

Congratulations to all of our conference award winners - the lucky recipients of this fine array of home-crafted prizes! Thanks to all of our creative colleagues for their time and skill in making them!

[@PRF2022 @prf2022]

Thank you to all conference participants and presenters for making @prf2022 such an interesting, fun and friendly place to learn and share ideas - see you all next time at PRF2026! @CLTGeoEarth
@COBRADurham @AlexRineHydro @geosociety @GeogDurham Safe travels home everyone!

@prf2022 Artist in Residence @melissariker closes the conference with her amazing performance - a fantastic end to a fantastic week!

[Ignacio Ibarra @ieibarra_Geomor]

Happy to have presented our research in @prf2022 and learn from a wide range of cool presentations and posters! Thanks to @COBRADurham for all the support ;)

Just back from a superb @prf2022 (Progressive Failure of Brittle Rocks) Penrose Conference. Man there are a lot of cracks in my house I never saw before.

[Monica Rasmussen 🏔⚒🔎 @MadameGeology]

But really @prf2022 has been amazing, can we do it every year???

And the LOCATION 😍

[Sophie Silver @_sosilver_]

Big thanks to everyone at the @prf2022 for an excellent conference experience. So lucky to be able to share my work with so many passionate and talented scientists!

[Henry Gage @henrygage_]

How will #ClimateChange impact weathering? My presentation at @prf2022 today examined the relationship between climate change and fractures, emphasizing that warming temperatures will increase cracking. We need to be more aware of the growing rockfall risks in urban areas! (1/3)

[Monica Rasmussen 🏔⚒🔎 @MadameGeology]

@prf2022 is the best conference ever!

[Gian Marco Marmoni @Marmo_rock]

My talk today at the @prf2022 conference in NC, USA about the #Acuto Field Lab activities and thermomechanical monitoring and modelling.
