Got myself a very nice #souvenir from London with the Strata book about the geological maps of William Smith #rocks #stratigraphy #fossils #geology ⚒️🇬🇧

I'm in @theobserveruk.bsky.social today looking at why so many unis are in financial trouble and what the government needs to do to save HE. observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Very unBritish weather made a week London extra perfect. Apart from #QPR-Swansea, @nhm-london.bsky.social ofcourse was a a highlight... Dinosaur skin, section of a black smoker, ocean bottom ooze from the Challenger, proof for plate tectonics.

⚒️🧪 Hey Norway! Did you feel that earthquake in the Oslo area? This isn't a common thing there, so letting scientists know what you felt is super helpful for understanding the effects and their extent! You can click the "I felt this earthquake" link here! www.emsc.eu/Earthquake_i...

Nog een draad(je). Hoe meet je de oceaancirculatie? Kort door de bocht antwoord: je gaat op een boot, gooit wat instrumenten in het water, laat ze een tijdje meten en haalt ze weer op. Correcte antwoord… is iets langere uitleg…

Big preliminary M7.6 #Earthquake off east coast Honshu. Japan, just now! ⚒️🧪

Some nice examples of #UrbanGeology. Who helps out on the lightgreen mineral in the gabbro? Olivine is next to it, the outer rim shows the mineral is not stable in this gabbro... #geology ⚒️ #rocks #geo #orthoceras #gastropods #conglomerate

On this day, 34 years ago, the ML 5.9 Roermond #earthquake struck near the NL–DE border early morning. It caused major building damage, injured dozens, was felt as far as France and England, and triggered aftershocks that lasted for years. One person died from a heart attack. 🧪⚒️

Lovely eruption from Sakurajima in Japan today 😍

Nou, denk ik dan als #Aardwetenschapper, het helpt wel als je tuin op 12m hoogte ligt..

Communiqué OVPF-IPGP - 08/4/2026 - 14h25 🌋 Suite à une augmentation rapide du trémor depuis ce matin, 8 avril, l'éruption au Piton de la Fournaise a repris vers 13h15 heure locale. Il s'agit de la 3ième phase de l'éruption. Toutes les infos ici: www.ipgp.fr/volcanoweb/r... ©️Photos: SAG-PGHM

In this data visualization, see every dinosaur fossil known to science on a map! Look for where & when your favorite dinosaurs appear. See when birds like Archaeopteryx evolved & which groups of dinosaurs dominated the landscape from one time period to the next: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ_i...

UPDATE Dear WOinActie colleagues! Hier is een update van waar voor WOinActie op dit moment de focus ligt. Kort: 💪🏻 Lobby voor financiële basis op orde, 💪🏻 verminderen democratisch tekort, en 💪🏻 versterking van de WOiA beweging. 1/

Schadebureaus in bevingsgebied zagen vermogen afgelopen jaren enorm groeien - nos.nl/l/2608641 Zelf van dichtbij zien gebeuren. Een bouwkundige die in splinternieuwe dikke patserbak aankomt rijden, wat roept over vorstschade (warme winters?), rapportje en klaar. 'zo, dat is weer 1500 euro'. 🤬

On March 24, 2026 there was a M7.5 quake near Tonga, and less than a week later there was a M7.3 near Vanuatu.

Very strong Mistral winds coming out of Europe drove this ferocious dust storm

Wow! A 1000-mile wall of Saharan dust is currently sweeping across northwest Africa 💨 See here: zoom.earth/maps/satelli...

#urbangeology, what #fossils are these? ⚒️ #paleo #paleontology? In limestones containing large bentic foraminifers as well.

I would guess that the Stockholm Airport on it's floors has the largest collection of polished slabs with Ordovician faunas, traces fossils and especially orthocone cephalopods! Hundreds and hundreds of acres 1/2 🧪 ⚒️ #Geology #Paleobio

An individual or organisation that thinks rubric generation is “low value” is fundamentally ignorant about teaching skills and pedagogy. Very embarrassing if you’re an ed tech company!

Quite a couple of quite large earthquakes in the mid Atlantic Ridge just SW of Iceland..

See how important geological knowledge is for the well.being in the world 🤔😉⚒️!

To read about an eruption that was ongoing when I was born.. (and yes, I do have a piece of rock that has my age!!)..

Donald Trump saying it would be "very bad for the future of NATO" if they don't help him secure the Strait of Hormuz. Would be fun if the response of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was that they were busy defending a NATO territory in the North Atlantic

🌋 A 12h35 un 3ième bras de coulée a atteint la RN3. Ce sont désormais 3 bras de coulées qui ont traversé la route nationale deux sur une largeur de 260 m environ ➡️ Sur le terrain, les équipes de l’OVPF-IPGP poursuivent le suivi de l’évolution de la coulée. ©OVPF-IPGP @ipgp.bsky.social @cnrs.fr

In Drente heeft in de nacht van vrijdag 13 maart op zaterdag 14 maart om 2:14 uur een aardbeving plaatsgevonden met een magnitude van 3,0 op de schaal van Richter. De locatie is Geelbroek, bij het Drentse gasveld Elebroek.

Morgen op Radio2 bij #SpijkersmetKoppen over #UrbanGeology ⚒️ #aardwetenschappen @vuamsterdam.bsky.social

It is surprisingly simple : just wait 42 857 years

Fossils in Prague metro stations silently exposing themselves. Nerineid in Mustek, ammonite in Jirihomz Podebrad station.😃 #urbangeology

Two key features of geoscientists’ temporal thinking stand out: "They take a long view of time, and they expect low-frequency, high-impact events. Geoscientists have internalized the vastness of the age of the Earth and the relative brevity of human history." eos.org/features/how...

Help geo/paleo hive mind! A student asked how much time is represented in a band of a banded iron formation and not only am I clueless, but my Google Scholar search didn’t yield a clear answer.

We hebben iets teveel bezuinigt op jou onderweis

Can large coastal landslides act as proxies for v strong shaking events along the Hikurangi subduction zone? I.e. can paleo-landslides instruct us about past earthquakes? Well, we're looking at this along the Wairarapa coast, NZ #eqnz

#UrbanStructuralGeology #UrbanOutcrop #TheValley. Wat is orientation of the stress axes in this bioturbated pack/wacke/floatstone? Students confronted with non-textbook examples. Wavy bedding parallel stylolites, small en-echelon veins. #Aardwetenschappen ⚒️ @vuamsterdam.bsky.social

De geologische achtergrond van waarom er olie en gas in de Golfregio én ook meteen een versmalling bij Hormuz is. #aardwetenschappen ⚒️

Inderdaad ligt de hoeveelheid inkomende straling (rode lijn) al gauw 20% lager dan gisteren op zelfde tijdstip (tijdspanne van grafiek is exact 24 uur, dus tijdstip van uiterst rechts komt overeen met uiterst links. Opbrengst panelen ook duidelijk minder dan gisteren. #Saharastof

@bedform.org: PBT, Pretty Blue Thing 😉

Het is zover: het is officieel lente. Want onze kat heeft op zijn rug liggen rollen. De Simba Index.

Media outlets, citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, report that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. The daily transit volume of oil and petroleum products through the Strait of Hormuz accounts for approximately 20% of global oil and petroleum consumption.
