  • Imaggeo On Monday: S-C mylonite in the Calamita Schists (Island of Elba, Italy)
    by Samuele Papeschi on November 28, 2022 at 11:45 am

    S-C mylonites developed in andalusite-cordierite micaschist (Calamita Schists) in the contact aureole of the Porto Azzurro pluton. The white layers are made of quartz, while the brown layers consist predominantly of white mica and biotite. Top-to-left (East) sense of shear. Read more: Papeschi et al (2017). Heterogeneous brittle-ductile […]

  • A Pedagogical Dance: EGU’s Teacher-Scientist Pairing Scheme
    by Gillian D'Souza on November 25, 2022 at 11:45 am

    An email from Giuliana Panieri, a geology professor at the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) in Tromsø, cracked my pandemic bubble late last year. She invited me to join an unconventional expedition (AKMA OceanSenses) to the Arctic Ocean, where scientists worked hand-in-hand with other societal actors, to integrate different kinds of knowledge […]

  • Sustainable Energy Geoscientist reflects on UN’s COP27
    by Gillian D'Souza on November 22, 2022 at 11:45 am

    This year, from 6 to 20 November, the United Nation’s COP27 took place in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. The conference hosted several high-level and side events, key negotiations and press conferences, attended by more than 100 Heads of State and Governments and over 35,000 participants who deliberated climate action strategies around the world. I […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Computing for a blank globe
    by Grace Shephard on November 21, 2022 at 11:45 am

    A tribute to the computational geosciences. A mix of computer infrastructure, a modern workstation, and a simple globe with coastlines. Found this scene at the back of room at Miraikan – the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan. The computers, screens, and globe are behind a plexi-glass and while not intended as […]

  • GeoPolicy: A new step to build robust science-for-policy ecosystems in Europe
    by Chloe Hill on November 18, 2022 at 10:15 am

    On 25 October, The European Commission published a Staff Working Document that aims to help Member States build capacity to use scientific knowledge more effectively in their policymaking processes. This month’s GeoPolicy Blog post provides a summary of the Staff Working Document that outlines key science for policy challenges and the EU […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Mud extrusion, Gobustan, Azerbaijan
    by Renaud Toussaint on November 14, 2022 at 11:45 am

    In Gobustan, Azerbaïdjan, gases such as methane or carbon dioxide are emitted in the underground. They lower the density of the overlying sediments which are pushed upwards by buoyancy. Fingering instabilities occur, where more mobile and lighter sediments form vents and mud volcanoes with upwards moving material. Many small scale cones are […]

  • GeoTalk: meet Morelia Urlaub, researcher of underwater landslides!
    by Simon Clark on November 11, 2022 at 11:45 am

    Hi Morelia. Thank you for joining us today! Could you tell our readers a bit about yourself and your research? Hi, I am Junior Professor for Marine Geomechanics at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and Kiel University in Germany. I graduated at the University of Bremen (Germany) and did my PhD in 2013 at the National Oceanography […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Comb through the mysteries of Comb Ridge, Utah
    by Siddhant Gupta on November 7, 2022 at 11:45 am

    Scientists have combed through the mysteries offered by this ridge for a long time. This is an aerial image of the linear north-south ridge in South-Eastern Utah. First mapped by modern geoscientists in the late 19th century, the ridge is home to numerous Puebloan cliff dwellings and petroglyphs. It is a National Natural landmark and home to the […]

  • The theory of continental drift and how it changed the geosciences forever
    by Gillian D'Souza on November 4, 2022 at 11:45 am

    German scientist Alfred Wegener spent most of his life defending a shocking theory: that all the world’s continents were once part of the same land mass before they drifted away. For many years after he passed, his theory continued to be shunned, ridiculed, and labelled as pseudoscience. And then, several decades later, geologists began to find […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Scary sea ice drilling in the antarctic darkness!
    by Célia Julia Sapart on October 31, 2022 at 11:45 am

    This picture was taken from the N.B. Palmer ice breaker during the PIPERS expedition in the austral winter of 2017. Two researchers and a marine technician were drilling cores in the sea ice of the Ross Sea. The ice was too thin and started to crack (see the fault in the background), so the team had to drill from the basket. Photo by Célia Julia […]
