Geology Photo of the Week #19 – Jan 20-26
Wow! January is flying by! We are already in the last full week of January since next Friday is Feb 1. It has been a very busy first month of 2013 for me. My goal this semester is to finish my lab work by the summer, which would allow me to focus on writing the 4 papers that I have collected partial data for. These four are in varying degrees of completion from the merely conceptual to actually ha ...[Read More]

If you’re curious the coldest place in Canada at the moment is Eur ...[Read More]

Geology Photo of the Week # 16 – Dec 16-22
It’s photo of the week time! I hope you’re excited…I am! There has been a lot of consternation in the twitterverse and geoscience community lately about the true identity of the Ediacaran biota, particularly the little guy pictured below. The abstract can be found here. The basic proposal is that the Ediacaran fossils are not marine, but rather are actually lichen. Bonus photo of ...[Read More]

Friday Photo (61): Active Geology – River terraces in Kazakhstan
River terraces cutting into Cenozoic sediments in Kazakhstan. River terraces are flood plains that have moved away from the river, in this case because the land was vertically displaced during fault movement. Credit: Tim Middleton (c) Geology for Global Development

Research Highlight – Variations of 129I in the atmospheric fallout of Tokyo, Japan: 1963-2003
I occasionally like to focus in on what I view as a key paper either in my particular field of iodine geochemistry or in the geochemical world at large. In this instance I have decided to highlight a paper in my field that releases a fantastic wealth of data that is matched nowhere else in the literature I have seen. This paper also reflects incredible dedication and planning to answer a scientifi ...[Read More]
