Grumpy Geologist. The stuff I write are my own views and not necessarily the most sensible.

@EntAntony Thanks for this, are you able to control the Tl speciation in your experiments?

Sometimes a gravity separation is fifty shades of grey.

How can Visible Geology help students understand the complex geological concepts of stereonets and apparent dip?

@AidaGreenbury @EntAntony how does this land area compare to that lost to agriculture, urban spread, and non-mining related infrastructure. Yes mining leads to forestry clearance, but perhaps the total forested land loss should be flagged as the most important point?

This is something I encountered on my climb up Ben Lawers on Saturday, and it's a phenomenon I've wanted to see for a very long time.

Regarding the driven grouse shooting debate, there’s a long overdue class analysis to be done on working class gamekeeper employees in light of their landed gentry employers.

Which is why we should crowdfund @ewangibbs to do a year long ethnographic study on the moors.

[Frances Cooper @geo_frances]

Really excited to see our #openaccess paper out today! Great work led by @LamontsterTN1 suggesting Laramide porphyry #copper deposits in the western USA resulted from water-fluxed crustal melting during flat-slab subduction. Huge thanks to @bhp & @isotopesUK for funding! 🌟🌵🌎🇺🇲

@BBCPolitics @BBCOne The level of aggression and inability to listen to the person being interviewed answers is quite embarrassing.

A thread...
With the ongoing terrible situation in Valencia, there are many images of ‘car imbrication' appearing on Social Media with people claiming that this is the same process as that seen in sedimentary particles. (1/6)
