Happy #DarwinDay! The Great Charles Darwin was born #OTD, 1809. During the first two years of his voyage aboard HMS Beagle, he collected a considerable number of fossil mammals from South America. Those discoveries sparked the theory of #evolution ⚒️🧪 paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2016/04/06/d...

To celebrate this year’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science, here is gaidonnayite, named after Dr Gabrielle Donnay, nestled in with some natrolite. She has two minerals named after her!! Two of the very few minerals discovered in Canada named after a woman. #WomenInSTEM #IDWGS ⚒️🧪

"I have not done any and I hate calculus. From my physics and engineering education and background" Uh...... (GSA's listserv continues to deliver.)

USGS Daily Elevated Volcano Summary ⚒ 🌋 Kilauea Volcano Alert Level = WATCH. ✈ Aviation Color Code = ORANGE Issued Wed., Feb. 11, 2026 19:02 UTC ⏸ The Halemaʻumaʻu eruption of Kīlauea is paused. ⏸ ⚠️ Forecast for the onset of episode 42 lava fountaining is February 14-17. ⚠️

I totally forgot to mention that the oft-overlooked Washington volcanoes of Mt Adams/Pahto and Mt Baker/Kweq’ Smanit were also overlooked in my Etsy store :-). I’m shipping tomorrow morning, so if these sell in the next 10hrs they’ll be on the road to you by tomorrow! phaneritic.etsy.com

Today to celebrate Black History Month & the international day of girls and women in science my students made mini posters of black or women scientists- no repeats allowed. We taped them up on the wall outside our classroom. In Teaching little lessons can make a big impact. 🧪🧬🍎⚒️

I’m happy to say that no less than two of the five great women scientists on this list are in the #Petrology Group at the School of Earth Sciences @bristoluni.bsky.social!

Taught this morning and then got to do some fieldwork and boy howdy did I hit the weather and location jackpot! While we didn’t find the marine mammals we were hoping for, the invertebrates and geology were so spectacular as to more than make up for it!

12 February 1743 Mw6.2 earthquake caused great damage in Almyros, southern Thessaly, Greece. Damage extended to Larissa. Information came from chronicles of monasteries. emidius.eu/AHEAD/event/... doi.org/10.1080/1363... emidius.mi.ingv.it/RHISE/ii_1am... In 1955 👇 bsky.app/profile/jose...

While the strain on academic #publishing is real, here is a monthly reminder to always respond to invitations for #PeerReview! Ignoring these messages just exacerbates the problem for everyone involved. Let's not do that 🧪🌏⚒️

Another somewhat large Bucaramanga Seismic Nest earthquake. On average there are about 8 earthquakes of this magnitude or somewhat larger in a year.

This International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the talented, trailblazing women who we have the honour of working with every day here at Oxford Earth Sciences 🌏 #IDWGS #WomenInScience @ox.ac.uk @mplsoxford.bsky.social

On the international day for women and girls in science #IWDWGS - super proud of my research students working on oceanography and marine geoscience- most of whom are female - here Sienna Blanckensee giving a talk and Molly Husdell at #CLIC2026.

#Geology and #mineralogy pals, how do you pronounce the name of the mineral "Crocidolite". I have been saying it KROK-ido-LITE. But I've recently heard it said as "KRO-sido-LITE". @calamitaman.bsky.social can you advise?

That's right, in fact it's a giant catfish that thrashes the underground and causes the shaking. ⚒️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namazu

An 111 year-old photo of Mt. Lassen volcanic activity reminds us that Lassen is active and will eventually erupt again. Below (comment) is a link to the history of the 1914 - 1917 eruptions that include the one below. Picture from great uncle and provided by cousin. ⚒️ 🧪 Geosciences geology 🪨

Copper fans, we did it! Copper is the very FIRST Ore Cup Champion & the Ore Mineral of the Year. Great job! 🙌 Thank you, Mineral Cup team. The content has been extra excellent, & another great Cup. Kudos! 290 days until #MinCup26 ! #OreCup ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology 🍎 🔭🪐

Copper crystals can form beautiful leafy patterns called dendrites from the Greek word dendron meaning tree. Dendrites grow due to mineral-rich fluids moving through cracks or during rapid cooling from a melt or vapor. Vote and more👇🏼 #OreCup ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology 🍎 🔭🪐

Patinating copper is a thing apparently. Not for the faint of heart. It involves ammonia, salt, water and a fumigation container. www.instructables.com/Blue-Patina-... #OreCup

Lady Liberty’s torch has gone thru renovations over the years. Originally designed as a lighthouse, the original torch was replaced by a new #copper torch in 1986 that was covered in gold leaf to give it a glow. It is 29 feet in length and weighs 450,000 pounds, with copper that will endure. Vote👇🏼

This is #copper. The exquisite golden tetrahexahedral crystal glows with its own light. And the amazing bevels (look closely) and faces! Only nature could create something so beautiful.
