KLM Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner arriving from Amsterdam #AMS / #EHAM on final approach to Portland Int'l Airport #PDX / #KPDX this morning. 50mi/80km in the background is Mt St Helens, with Mt Rainier peeking (peaking?) around its right flank twice as far away. #aviation #avgeek #volcano #geology #photography #PNW

Students in my Quaternary Geology course came at this exposure from the bottom up, and the top down -- a curious sequence of basal till overlain by silty lake sediments deformed by a later glacial readvance. #geology #earthscience #vermont #Quaternary #outside

Premiering at the #EGU25 Geocinema!

Map of historical seismicity near today’s M6.2 #earthquake in western Turkey.
This event may have occurred on the Marmara fault segment of the North Anatolian Fault, thought to present a significant hazard to Istanbul.

I was on a podcast! I had a fun, three-part chat with Peter from @code4thought about:

+ Leaving academia after 10+ years of postdocs
+ Studying volcanoes in Iceland and Mexico
+ Arguments to promote open source adoption in the organisation (portability; dealing with security concerns)

Follow the link to the podcast and links to related blog posts.

Nice shot captured yesterday by Curiosity with her RMI telescope - maybe some feature on the upper Aeolis Mons?

Mediterranean megaflood carved out hills in Sicily, study reveals https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/apr/23/mediterranean-megaflood-carved-out-hills-sicily-study #Extremeweather #Environment #Worldnews #Flooding #Geology #Science #Europe #Italy

There once was a flood so immense,
In Sicily, it carved out a trench.
The Mediterranean roared,
Creating hills, so adored,
A natural wonder, oh so immense.

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
-- Frederick Douglass (West India Emancipation (1857))

Here's a large pale green apatite grain in a massive, slightly smoky quartz vein from the Moine metamorphic rocks near Bunessan in Mull. This crystal is a pretty eroded and fractured, but definite potential in this stuff... #Mineralogy #Geology #Mull #Phosphate
