The 46th Ottawa Gem and Mineral Show
A few weeks ago I went to the 46th annual Ottawa Gem and Mineral show. I have always been a dedicated mineral and fossil collector and shows like this allow me to indulge my inner collector and drool over all the fantastic specimens. I have been to a lot of shows, all local such as …[Read More]

Friday Photo (56): Photos from Industry – Copper Deposits in Fault Zones
The deposits on the surface of this sandstone are a distinctive shade of green – indicative of copper. Copper is mobilised and concentrated along fault zones. If you have any photos from time spent working in industry, that do not breach company copyright regulations, then please get in touch and we will publish them on our blog! …[Read More]

Guilty: L’Aquila Earthquake Scientists Sentenced to 6 Years Imprisonment
As a young scientist undertaking research into natural hazards and disaster reduction, I found the decision yesterday to find a number of scientists guilty of manslaughter very worrying. The case against the scientists is centred on the L’Aquila earthquake of 2009 and argues that they were guilty of providing “inexact, incomplete and contradictory” information. There is helpful analysis and descriptions …[Read More]

Post-Last Glacial Maximum intensification of marine faulting: resolution-dependent hazard assessment
Subsea pipelines and cables are vital to modern energy and communications, yet assessing the active geological faults they cross underwater is notoriously difficult. By examining marine fault slip rates at higher stratigraphic resolution than previously analyzed in this region, our new research shows that displacement rates accelerated tenfold after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This …[Read More]
