She's raised $925 so far but needs $2000 to leave, please share, Nour is pregnant and needs to leave asap.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Wrapping up one week of fieldwork at Fuego volcano, flying drones and sampling PDC deposits with @smakris.bsky.social @pdcguy.bsky.social @tyranakisaurus.bsky.social Sylvain Charbonnier, Gustavo Chigna, Fabrizio Ponce, Amilcar Calderas, Edgar Barrios, William Chigna and Mario Ovalle.

The Dept of Education may take down many sites soon including studentaid.gov Folks should go to the website and download all their loan data (under "my activity" on the "My Aid" page), including docs related to loan consolidation, payment plan apps, FAFSA forms, and PSLF

Over a thousand people chanting “Do Your Job” as Democrats speak at a rally defending USAID. Environment seems as agitated with Democrats as with Trump/Musk’s efforts to seize agencies. Yells of “What are you gonna do about it?!” in response to Democrats talking about situation.

It seems that Space Karen's (a.k.a. Twitler) team has infiltrated the volcanological corner of the government. FYI, VDAP is a congress-mandated partnership between USAID and USGS: www.usaid.gov/basic-page/v...

New pterosaur just dropped!!!

At the time of the eruption, 47 people were on the island, which was a popular tourist destination back then. Unfortunately, 22 people lost their lives, and 25 others sustained serious injuries. (2/3) www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

Hello @bsky.app ! We are the Ixchel project funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund @ukri.org Expect posts on research activities, including but not limited to volcanology, disaster risk reduction, critical decolonial theory, human rights, and arts-based participative methodologies 🌋

Bluesky just passed 23 million subscribers. At this rate of growth, Musk/Zuckerberg/Trump will certainly attempt to shut it down on whatever pretext they can gin up. It is a single point of countervailing power and potential resistance in the infosphere, and as such is a prime target for lawfare.

Usually seen just as local guides for fieldwork, excluded from the writing process and left out of the authors list, as well as not attending the major conferences.

50 years ago this November—a pair of paleoanthropologists found a skeleton that belonged to a 3.2 million year old hominin, which came to be nicknamed Lucy. In today’s episode, we discuss what Lucy has taught us in the last 50 years. Listen here 🎧: pod.link/73329284

Very late #VolcanoMonday but here you have a picture of Agua volcano, that I took in Antigua Guatemala back in February. This city will host the XV Central American Geological Congress later this week and as much as 200 to 300 geoscientists from the region will be there.

I love this for them.

Was at a rock show today and saw a fossil I’ve never seen before, which is a rare event: A cluster of Triassic belemnites from Timor. Aulacoceras. These are like 5 inches long

“The potential of satellite data for monitoring andesitic stratovolcanoes, as illustrated by Merapi volcano, Indonesia.” ou Comment surveiller la croissance des stratovolcans par imagerie satellitaire ? Ce sera le sujet de la soutenance/defence de PhD de Shan Gremion ce mercredi 27/11 à ISTerre.

Happy publication day to Charles #Darwin for On the Origin of Species published #OTD 1859 🥳 (And a day of inspiration for all who struggle to finish their books...) #hpbio #HPS #EvoBio

1.85 billion years ago, a massive meteorite struck near what is now Sudbury, Ontario. The resulting tsunami sent this stromatolite over 600 km across the ocean and deposited it near what is now Thunder Bay. So, that was a bad day for those microbes. #FossilFriday ⚒️

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

Are you a grad student (or a recent graduate) that has written a model, or a component for a modeling system, or done something cool and modeling-adjacent as part of your research? If so, consider submitting your work for the 2025 Syvitski Student Modeler Award! csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Student...

Crossbedded sandstones. Pleistocene shallow marine fan deposits exposed in a slot canyon in Southern Taiwan. These sediments are coming off the rapidly uplifting mountains of central Taiwan. Lots of preserved animal burrows.

I meant to post these last year somewhere but something bad happened and I forgot all about them. The person who flew the plane and got these pictures of Mt. St. Helens erupting gave these to my mother. After asking, she gave me permission to share them.

It's also probably the COVID. It does cumulative organ damage and can persist in your system even after the initial infection leading to widespread inflammation. You're tired all the time because you're sick (and maybe disabled).

Geologists got jokes. 🧪⚒️

Confounding columns.

Slabs like these are often sold as 'fossils' on eBay and such, but they are not actual fossils! These are manganese dendrites, which are mineral formations created by the crystallization of manganese oxides, forming tree or root-like patterns. They are an example of pseudofossils. ⚒️🧪

The sudden arrival of so many Twitter friends makes me so hopeful. It feels like the first bloom of spring after a long, cold winter. Here’s to rebuilding what we lost, and making it even better 😁 Also, Dallas lost, making this a great day #gobirds🦅

For #VolcanoMonday, have some views of Newberry Volcano and its spectacular obsidian lava flow. Very lucky to have visited this special place this last summer with some amazing volcanologists.

A little bit late to #VolcanoMonday but here’s a picture I took of Fuego volcano in Guatemala about 10 days ago. In constant activity since 1999, it has produced nearly 80 paroxysms in the last 25 years. Plus, the daily explosions can go from 100 to 300 events every 24 hours.

I embarrassingly don’t currently have any pictures of Brokeoff Volcano on my phone. So for this week’s #VolcanoMonday contribution we have Mammoth Mountain, a Pleistocene composite volcano erupted along the margin of Long Valley Caldera, as viewed from Sierra NF yesterday.
