Sorry for never evver posting here, but does anyone know where to find a cartoon depicting continents breaking through oceanic crust like an icebreaker? I believe I have seen one that dates from an argument against continental drift but i cannot seem to locate this on the entire internet

The preservation of open space and public lands for future generations is among the most fundamental promises of America and is the very purpose of having a government: to protect for all what would be destroyed by short term profit-seeking, so we all may enjoy the much greater long-term benefits.

haven't read the paper yet but the title is certainly refreshing: The 2021 Mw 5.6 Earthquake in the Guyana Shield, South America: An Intraplate Event with No Reason to Occur Marcelo Assumpção et al. out this week in The Seismic Record

if anyone happens to read a truly terrible article in a famously factually-challenged UK news rag today that relates to earthquakes in Nevada, please ignore it. The headline is wackadoodle and the article makes no sense. People behind this kind of drivel should be ashamed of themselves.

just because some great scientists volunteer for journals run by particular publishers, does not mean YOU should volunteer too -- your time and expertise are too valuable to throw away to for-profit publishers. Support society journals and volunteer where benefits stay in the research community!

screen grab of an email which reads "Thanks for the invitation but I don't work with MDPI due to its involvement with predatory publishing practices and general harm done to the research community by this business model.  The invitation to edit an issue only peripherally related to my expertise reinforces my impression of the lack of meaningful scientific oversight at this publishing house. "

Interested in doing a MS studying faults at the University of Alaska Anchorage? I am looking for a student to work on a paleoseismic study of the Castle Mountain fault. We will use geomorphology, geophysical surveys, and sediment cores to understand kinematics and earthquake history.

WELL that was a big afternoon around here. Bill Savran and I staring at each other while the room rocked. Nobody drop-covered-held. We need some more earthquake drills! Also the grads in Nevada Geoscience are pretty awesome, they do the socials, here's Solomon www.instagram.com/p/DDYewlkJFMd/
