An abandoned lead (galena) & zinc mine in the Pyrenees. And my dog.

As the comments on Tiamat's Tavern Facebook post demonstrate, the Everglades prove that this isn't so far fetched geologically speaking, but I could also simply say, "*OR*, magic." 🤷‍♂️ #DnD #RPG #TTRPG #geology #magic

First they came for the insects.
Then mother earth fell ill and didn't feed us no more...

A terrible video from a congolaise cobalt mine. #Geology #mining Nobody should have to work in such conditions. Madness.

We are children of the ice age.The incredible development of mankind was due to cold temperatures and the necessity to use fur & fire to keep warm, that triggered new technologies. In warmer climates reptiles & insects have a competitive advantage. Unfortunately, we are now victims of our success: Overpopulation and those fires that gave us an advantage over other species now change our climat too fast for us to adapt and in a way that disadvantages us. #climate #geology

Mining & space flight are related:
Both mean exploration of new & unknown territory, for us surface beings. And if men ever want to live on other moons or planets, they'll need to dig themselves in - and use what they extract.
On other planets mining makes a lot of sens: Creation of space protected from cosmic rays, possibility of a controlled atmosphere, raw materials...https://www.mining-technology.com/features/mining-the-moon/

The very beginning of diagenesis : Banks of stratified sand eroded by high tide at the base of dunes that wind drove inland.
Mimizan, Atlantic coast.

This is a beautiful shining black rock most people born before the end of the 70s will immediately recognize, but younger generations much less. I took it many years ago in a Westfalian mine, 1400 m below see level. Because of the geothermic gradient, the walls of the mine were hot: About 40 C°. The yellow stuff is Marcasite. Marcasite is often fond in that rock, but unwanted...Do you know the name of the black stuff? #Geology

I like abandoned mines. These are
ferric oolithes on limestone from a small open pit mine in South-West France. The mine was abandoned around 1890. #Geology

Hi

I’m migrating from twitter and hope to find here new and old friends/colleagues.

I mostly post about #earthquake #geology, #paleoseismology and #seismic #hazard.
I 😍 field work! And outdoor activity in general (🚲 🏃‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️).

I work at the French Institute for Nuclear Safety (IRSN https://www.irsn.fr/) and run my research worldwide.
