The lower crust is strong and can generate earthquakes during continental collision. This happened 420 million years ago, when Baltica and Laurentia collided to form the mighty Scandinavian Caledonides. Watch @sheared_sash telling us how it happened. 👇🎬🎥⛏️🔬⛰️

Straight from the Goldschmidt Lab at UiO we present to you @sheared_sash giving a rundown on his latest paper: Dating fossil lower-crustal earthquakes by in-situ apatite U-Pb geochronology https://t.co/XrMG6Av3dl

Enjoy!! 🍿 🎥

New work in #AGUtectonics on the Rotondo granite tectonic evolution by @sgt_ethz postdoc @aceccato_geo- have a look!

[Sascha Zertani @sheared_sash]

Interesting and very fun experience to give a talk in the morning and then directly go to the outcrops I had just talked about! Very cool discussions. I could get used to this...

[Njord Univ. of Oslo @NjordUiO]

Started the 2nd day of the FricFrac mini-conference with short presentations of the outcrops we were to visit and then headed out to the field to look at small-scale shear zones! The day was capped by a group that headed out for a midnight sun summit

[Njord Univ. of Oslo @NjordUiO]

First day of the FricFrac mini-conference excursion to Lofoten. Our basecamp is the most beautiful and historic Nusfjord rorbuer. We have invited international researchers with a variety of backgrounds and so the discussions have been extremely fruitful!

[Sascha Zertani @sheared_sash]

@micROCKScopica How about this outcrop in Lofoten? Already tested by @MicroLuca

[Sascha Zertani @sheared_sash]

Back in Lofoten! Today I have some time to explore new outcrops (and boulders 😂) with @glgysteve. My favorite so far the amazingly purple anorthositic dyke. #geology

A month editor searching for reviewers… Dear researchers, if you like to receive reviews of your paper quickly, take a share in this process and review others' papers, only if we all do that it may happen

[Sascha Zertani @sheared_sash]

Last day of the tectonics field trip and the Lærdal-Gjende fault always delivers! Mylonites in the footwall, a fault core with several gouges, and cross-cutting fractures in the hanging wall.

[Stephen Michalchuk @glgysteve]

The transition from mylonites to Devonian conglomerates is marked by crustal-scale fault. Impressive!

[Sascha Zertani @sheared_sash]

@glgysteve @NjordUiO @HugoLantman @LaurentMontesi @MicroLuca

[Sascha Zertani @sheared_sash]

Kvamshesten basin konglomerates sitting above the mylonites separated by a sharp brittle detachment. Spectacular outcrops! #folds #geology #mylonite

[Sascha Zertani @sheared_sash]

The most beautiful outcrop in the world! Beginning asymmetric boudinage and veins provide evidence of consist kinematics during protracted deformation of the Nordfjord-Sogn detachment. #geology

[Stephen Michalchuk @glgysteve]

Same rotated feldspar clasts, different year. Still #geologizinglikeamoho

[Sascha Zertani @sheared_sash]

Day 2 of the tectonics field tip took us through the basement of Baltica and to the Nordfjord-Sogn detachment! #geology

Day 1 of this years tectonics field trip: The pictures show flame structures in a turbidite sequence, providing nice way-up criteria, and axial cleavage-bedding intersections from folding of the sequence. #geology

[EGU TS Division @EGU_TS]

🎉 Calling all #EGU24 attendees! Join our division for some fun-filled social events! Get to know our team, meet fellow ECS members, and unwind with drinks.
It's the perfect opportunity to network and connect! Details in the flyer. 🥂 #networking #geoscience

Fantastic three days @MSG_1981 in Bristol. Thanks @freyargeorge for organizing and @johneclogite for the kinetics workshop!
