Expanding the picture: Franck Ghomsi
What does a geodesist look like? And what happens if you don’t “look the part”? Today, Franck Ghomsi, a Black African scientist, takes us along on his journey between South Africa, Canada and Cameroon. Franck does not only research the impact of climate change on coasts with geodetic techniques, but at the same time became an expert in self-motivation, battling racism and fightin ...[Read More]

How do rocks fail and flow: A beginners guide to rock rheology
The field of rock rheology may seem a bit ‘odd’ at first glance to those geoscientists who are vaguely familiarized with the topic of geodynamics. Often, rocks are considered massive and competent geomaterials that display a sudden (and sometimes violent) brittle failure (earthquake alert!). However, when considering the high temperatures and large timescale characteristics of most geo ...[Read More]

A Geoscientist’s Colorful Journey from Research to Children’s Books
In today’s blog we’re having a chat with our very own Dr Lucia Perez-Diaz. As Lucia put it at the start of this year’s General Assembly, us scientists get to wear many “hats”, and she lives up to that statement. Besides a brilliant geoscientist, she is an incredible artist – also featured as last year’s artist in residence – and a budding press assistant! But more importantly, she is the author of ...[Read More]
