For the #SciArtSeptember theme “lyrical” I’m going with the use of imagination & analogy in the exploration & communication of science through thought-experiments like Lyell’s Amphibious Being! In geologist Charles Lyell (1797-1875)’s famous ‘Principles of Geology,’ he wrote that to avoid some sources of prejudice in understanding #geology would require an Amphibious Being, 🧵1/n

"There are signs that geoscience’s close and enduring association with the minerals and energy extractive sector may be having an unsustainable impact on the appeal of the geosciences as a career option for younger generations."
Haven't read the whole paper yet, but this review on the future of the geosciences looks to be worth a read.

It's new student orientation! Fine weather yesterday for our hammer-source geophone array demonstration. Every swing of the sledgehammer improves the image of depth-to-bedrock, and potentially even shows the top of the REM tunnel under Mont Royal!

It's so cool that we can still find evidence for this half a billion years later.

Fascinating new data for #EarthScience nerds. But THIS part is interesting:
“Scientists can use this information to track mass changes in polar ice and water reservoirs and help make sense of how the processes below Earth’s surface affect those above ground.”
Glacial melting contributes to rising sea levels. Literally billions of ppl live in coastal regions facing increased flooding & total submersion now in coming years.
