In a new paper in @geolsoc.bsky.social, I developed the first quantitative model of spreading asymmetry of a lost ocean, constrained using geological tie points. Jonny (@uarizona.bsky.social) also did a great review of modern plume-ridge interactions. Check it our here: doi.org/10.1144/jgs2...

You may have heard of #Train2EGU, but what about #Train2AGU?! @alicerturner.bsky.social and I are taking the train from Austin, TX to Washington DC for @agu.org! Follow our climate-friendly and #SlowTravel journey here. Firstly, waving goodbye to #UTIG @utaustin.bsky.social 👋🏻
I had a great time @envleeds.bsky.social for the UK-SEDI meeting. Good to chat with the UK deep earth community about plate reconstructions!
Last week @eclennett.bsky.social and I went to Leander Public Library to chat about earthquakes and volcanoes with the book club program! We had lots of fun with a spring-block slider and some coke and mentos!
