Two years ago, we made a clip about the Geology of Alpe d'Huez! Enjoy today's climb!

Alpe d'Huez day! Two years ago, Marjolein made this clip for the @le-tourdefrance.bsky.social Femmes about how the Alpe is folding without breaking! Enjoy the climb! And the spectacular folds...

Big subduction zone earthquake in Mexico, close to the border with Guatemala, 7.3. No major damage, luckily. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

This was my favorite @geotdf.bsky.social clip we made! Cantal Volcano day today!! 🌋

Today's Tour de France stage ends at Le Lioran, at the top of the Cantal Volcano, Europe's larges stratovolcano. Two years ago, we made this clip there, our favorite :) How volcanism led to the invention of the bicycle! @vanhinsbergen.bsky.social @uugeo.bsky.social

@nature.com publiceert vandaag een razend interessant artikel waarin voor het eerst spreiding van een mid-oceanische rug is vastgelegd. Ik legde @nrc.nl erover uit: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Franse onderzoekers zien live hoe de aarde opensplijt en een onvoorstelbare hoeveelheid lava een nieuwe oceaanbodem vormt

Geologie: Grote en kleine stukken van de aardkorst zijn voortdurend in beweging. Geofysici hebben nu live gezien hoe zulke platentektoniek werkt. „Soms krijg je een cadeautje.”

The FIFA assigned an American referee to USA-Belgium. Playing time will depend on when the USA has scored more than Belgium. The rule that a ball has to have entered a goal is abandoned. What goal to score in will be decided afterwards by the referee. The VAR got a peace prize. Let’s see who’ll win!

See the latest on the Venezuela quakes, from @judithgeology.bsky.social : earthquakeinsights.substack.com/p/catastroph...

Catastrophic M7.5 earthquake strikes northern Venezuela

Severe damage; collapsed buildings; significant fatalities possible

earthquakeinsights.substack.com

Massive earthquake in Venezuela, 130 km west of Caracas, on the main Caribbean-South America plate boundary. A double event of 7.2 and 7.5. Fear for major casualties and damage. The quake occurred on a triple junction with yet another major fault. This does not look good 🙁.

I climbed the epic Mont Ventoux today, with colleague Niko Wanders. I will not lightly forget the sheer happiness of riding in the barren limestones at the top 6 km of the climb. It was fantastic.

A new study by @vanhinsbergen.bsky.social and colleagues introduces Paleolatitude.org 3.0, an updated tool for reconstructing ancient latitudes and paleogeography to support paleoclimate and paleobiology research. plos.io/4tBnAnE

Paleolatitude.org 3.0: A calculator for paleoclimate and paleobiology studies based on a new global paleogeography model

Paleogeography, and particularly the paleolatitude, provides key context in the interpretation of paleoclimatic and paleobiological data but these fields are typically studied by scientists in…

Spread the word: We have a vacancy for a PhD student at the interface of geology and ecology/biology! Do you want to study - also in the field - how volcanism of the Cape Verde islands, and probably more, influenced ecosystem resilience? Come work with us in Utrecht! www.uu.nl/en/organisat...

PhD: does an island’s geologic history predict its ecosystem resilience today

Curious about the relationship between geological history of islands and the resilience of their ecosystems in the face of human-induced environmental change?

Here's a little experiment with Paleolatitude.org! The paleolatitude of a location on Earth changes for two reasons. One is the motion of plates over the mantle. For instance,India moved north in the last 100 million years or so, from ~60°S to the modern location. #SciComm

The new Paleolatitude.org web tool is getting media coverage, like in Vice magazine. It's appeared in dozens of countries on almost every continent, and the site had >300.000 visitors since last Thursday. If you haven't checked it out: have a look! @uugeo.bsky.social www.vice.com/en/article/s...

Scientists Built a Tool That Lets You Look Millions of Years Into Your Home's Past

Hundreds of millions of years ago, the place you call home could have quite literally been somewhere else entirely on the face of the Earth.

A few months ago, Goran Andjic and I figured out a way to reconstruct plates from the Cretaceous era in the ocean to the west of California. A week or so after we got that idea, I explained it to Nick Zentner on his great Youtube channel (www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFKN...).
