TS Must-read – wrap up and tectonics history
TS Must-read series, the wrap up In 2020, we started the Must Read activity by asking the TS community a simple question: which papers do you think every tectonics and structural geology student should read? that led to more than a thousand nominations and lively debate. A short list of 48 Must Read papers was distilled by adding 3 complementary contributions to the 45 entries that had the larges ...[Read More]

Three reasons why you should consider preprinting your research
Preprints are scientific manuscripts posted online before or in parallel with submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Although the term ‘preprint’ may sound like it is just a preliminary version of a document that will eventually be published in an academic journal, this is not always the case. Not all preprints are intended for formal peer review, and some remain at the preprint stage indefinitely ...[Read More]

Rethinking the carbon cost of scientific exchange: Nonlinear effects of reducing scientific mobility
The carbon footprint of scientific collaboration has become an increasingly debated topic. Conferences, workshops, and research travel remain central to how science function, yet they also contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions. Since the pandemic era scientists also learned to work virtually and to attend workshops and conferences online. Understanding the carbon footprint, and how it comp ...[Read More]
