This Wednesday, we will host the final webinar of this season: Shijun Jiang will present new evidence for extreme precipitation events during the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), based on high-resolution sedimentary records from the eastern Tethys: sedsonline.com/future-webin...

I think I may adopt this approach in my next paper! Something along the lines of ‘This is interpreted as a shallow marine environment as all of the other environments have been accounted for….’

What a difference a week makes. After blistering sun on last week’s field trip to the Wrekin, this week was blizzard conditions in the Peak District! Our students did a fabulous job honing their field skills skills in less than ideal conditions. Well done all! ❄️😀⚒️ @derbyuniearth.bsky.social

Industry need to take a lead in advocating for Geology A levels. Without this feeder, the supply of fresh graduate geoscientists will rapidly dry up.

Geoscientist magazine@geoscientistmag.bsky.social · 4mo ago

OCR has announced its form of AS and A Level Geology qualifications will be withdrawn, with the final cohort to take exams in 2028. The decision may affect how the subject is accessed in secondary education and could influence higher education pathways and careers. www.ocr.org.uk/administrati...

Very pleased to see our new paper now out in GSA Bulletin. 'Morphological patterns of (sub)recent marine aragonite crystals in transects from the shoreline to open coastal waters of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates' Great work by lead author Yisi (Christine) Zhong. doi.org/10.1130/B389...

Morphological overview of flat-terminated aragonite crystals. (A) Schematic model documenting that polysynthetic twins form tabular aragonites. Yellow arrows indicate twinning boundaries. (B) Schematic model showing that hexagonal aragonite crystals developed from triple-growth twins. In type I, one crystal combined with two symmetrically equivalent twins; type II demonstrates intergrowth and penetration of triple aragonite. Yellow arrows indicate re-entrant angles along perimeters of hexagonal columns, which represent twin boundaries.
