Dislocation Creep and the Development of Deformation Fabrics

Dislocation Creep and the Development of Deformation Fabrics

Assume you are under stress. What do you do? Take a walk in the park, order your favorite takeout, have a breakdown, or internally slip along preferred slip systems and develop a fabric? The response will mostly depend on what kind of material you are, how much stress you are under, and what environmental conditions you are subjected to. For instance, someone might listen to classical music after ...[Read More]

GeoTalk: meet Thanushika Gunatilake, researcher of earthquake impacts on geothermal energy

Hello Thanushika – welcome to GeoTalk! Before we delve deeper, could you introduce yourself to our readers? Thank you for having me! I’m Thanushika Gunatilake, an Assistant Professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. My research connects natural and human-induced processes in the Earth’s crust; from earthquake nucleation in the central Apennines, subduction dynamics, and volcanic activity, to geoth ...[Read More]

From Classroom to Community: Bridging Disaster Risk Reduction Education with the Real World Through Service-Learning

From Classroom to Community: Bridging Disaster Risk Reduction Education with the Real World Through Service-Learning

This week, we turn our attention to education and collaboration in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Dr. Solmaz Mohadjer has been leading an innovative Service-Learning course that brings students together with non-profit organisations working at the forefront of risk reduction. The course not only introduces students to the complexities of disasters and resilience but also creates space for dialogue ...[Read More]

The Guinness Book of Sedimentology: your guide to the world’s largest EVER sedimentary landforms

The Guinness Book of Sedimentology: your guide to the world’s largest EVER sedimentary landforms

There is something about really BIG things that always grabs people’s attention – look at dinosaurs for example. The geological record is littered with the extreme and today we will explore the biggest, the tallest, the deepest and steepest sedimentary structures and landforms ever to grace our planet. Depositional environments ranging from fluvio-lacustrine and aeolian, coastal environments ...[Read More]

The spectral shadow of Samalas: When climate models conjure the Earth’s forgotten fury

The spectral shadow of Samalas: When climate models conjure the Earth’s forgotten fury

This Halloween, we turn our gaze from fictional haunts to the chilling, rigorous world of paleoclimatology. The paper by Hartmann et al. (2025), published on Climate of the Past, focuses on the implementation of external forcings in a regional climate model around the 1257 CE Samalas volcanic eruption. This paper can be quite the unsettling investigation, since it treats the Earth itself as a time ...[Read More]

Writing Climate: a blog at the crossroads of Science, Art and Travel

Writing Climate: a blog at the crossroads of Science, Art and Travel

It took me many travels, experiences, and an entire PhD on climate-related topics to realize that all these dots could be connected. How I Perceive Our Warming World is a blog at the intersection of my life passions: travel, art, and climate. It is not about travel, nor about art, nor about climate alone: it is about all of them together. Each of these passions offers a different lens through whic ...[Read More]

The role of structural geology in radioactive waste disposal

A photo of Dr. Isabel Ashman who's work has been featured in this blog

In this blog post, I have interviewed Dr. Isabel Ashman, who is part of the GeoSafe consortium at the University of Liverpool, looking into safe and long-term containment of radioactive waste in geological formations. Dr. Ashman, along with other project partners at the University of Liverpool, aim to better understand how small to large-scale (sub-mm to several km) structural variabilities in tar ...[Read More]
