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]

Where is climate science heading? Views from the community

Where is climate science heading? Views from the community

At the recent UNDERPIN2 conference (Understanding rare events and their climatic impacts, in Erice, Sicily), we held a discussion on the future of climate science. To guide the conversation, I ran an interactive survey to capture how climate scientists see the current challenges, opportunities, and blind spots in climate research, communication, and the use of artificial intelligence. The response ...[Read More]

GeoTalk: Meet glacial hauntologist, Elizabeth Case (you read that right, a glacial hauntologist!)

Elizabeth Case

Welcome to GeoTalk, Elizabeth! Could you introduce yourself and your background? I’m a genderfluid glaciologist living between previously glaciated, currently glaciated, and flood-prone landscapes. I am a postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. I did my bachelor’s in physics at the University of California, Los Angeles, and my Ph.D. in glacial geophysics at Co ...[Read More]

Democracy from the ivory tower: A response to the Anti-autocracy Handbook from a Global South perspective

Democracy from the ivory tower: A response to the Anti-autocracy Handbook from a Global South perspective

Yet another global guide to saving democracy, this time titled The Anti-Autocracy Handbook: A Scholars’ Guide to Navigating Democratic Backsliding, authored by an all-star cast of academics based in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. Because, clearly, when it comes to understanding the creeping rise of authoritarian regimes, who better to consult than experts who live and work in societies whe ...[Read More]

Where earthquake faults reach the ground surface: insight from 2016 Kumamoto event

Where earthquake faults reach the ground surface: insight from 2016 Kumamoto event

What does a seismogenic fault look like? We can sometimes observe surface earthquake faults, which propagate ruptures from the hypocenter to the ground surface. In 2016, intense seismicity was observed during the Kumamoto earthquake sequence in Japan. This sequence consisted of many shallow earthquakes, including a strong foreshock and the subsequent mainshock with numerous aftershocks. The earthq ...[Read More]

ST-ECS Networking Campfire: “How to Navigate Between Academia and Industry”

ST-ECS Networking Campfire: “How to Navigate Between Academia and Industry”

For many early-career scientists, one of the big questions is whether to pursue a career in academia, move into industry, or find a path that bridges both worlds. Each sector offers unique opportunities and challenges, and learning how to navigate between them can help you make confident, informed career decisions. To shed light on this topic, the Early Career Scientists (ECS) team of the Solar-Te ...[Read More]
