In new space race, scientists propose geoarchaeology can aid in preserving space heritage
https://phys.org/news/2023-07-space-scientists-geoarchaeology-aid-heritage.html

"As a new space race heats up, two researchers from the Kansas Geological Survey at the University of Kansas and their colleagues have proposed a new scientific subfield: planetary geoarchaeology, the study of how cultural and natural processes on Earth's moon, on Mars and across the solar system may be altering, preserving or destroying the material record of space exploration."
[...]
"How planetary geoarchaeologists will determine whether an item is worth preserving is an open question.

'We feel that all material currently existing on extraterrestrial surfaces is space heritage and worthy of protection," Holcomb said. "However, some sites, such as the very first footprints on the moon at Tranquility Base or the first lander on Mars, Viking 1, represent the material footprint of a long history of migration.'"

I recently started using the #threadiverse and there's cool stuff there. Here's a find from today:

Here's some #geoarchaeology in the #BigBend of #Florida, looking underwater to uncover ancient evidence of people who once lived on this land...back when it was land because the seas used to be lower.

Such a nice day in #Wiltshire taking sedimentary cores for #geoarchaeology and scientific dating from the #medieval (& ?#prehistoric) East Wansdyke. Looking forward to the results already. #archaeology

In the last 2 days I attended the #SPHeritage project workshop about #GeoArchaeology, #SeaLevel changes and #HumanAdaptation at the iconic sites of Balzi Rossi. Thanks to the organisers for sharing great science and talks in this lovely place #FieldworkFriday

#cfp 8th Symposium of the Hellenic Society for Archaeometry, #Athens.

Deadline: Monday, May 15th, 2023

Some themes:
a. absolute dating and paleoenvironment
b. geophysical surveys and #geoarchaeology
c. inorganic materials (ceramics, metals, vitreous materials)
d. stones, mortars and pigments
e. #bioarchaeology and organic residues
f. conservation #science

Lovely trip to #Wiltshire yesterday to check out #geoarchaeology sampling locations along the East Wansdyke. View from Milk Hill is always breathtaking.

#Postdoc in #geoarchaeology at SapienCE position recently announced! Application due March 12th.

Sneak peek of an interdisciplinary project I'm working on with some new colleagues at UTRGV. Experimenting with photogrammetry and 3D modeling to visualize the stratigraphy of a clay dune (aka loma) as revealed by a roadcut near Port Isabel, Texas. You can view it in #3D, #VR or #AR by visiting https://skfb.ly/oBJt9

Geopedology@BTU is now on Mastodon. We study #soils and #landforms in the earth‘s critical zone - properties, distribution, genesis, functions. Looking forward joining news about #soil #pedology #environment #geology #geomorphology #archaeology #geoarchaeology #Quaternary #Holocene #Anthropocene

So, here's a little summary for #mastodon!

The ERC Consolidator REVIVE project (2021-2026) is picking up where the work stopped several decades ago in central levant and advance it by employing state-of-the-art methodologies available today #lithics #paleoanthropology #geoarchaeology #zooarchaeology

Right now our team is in #Lebanon doing fieldwork, collecting new data and discovering new sites.

Follow us to stay updated!

Is #SedimentologySundays a thing? Check out these #rhytmites from some fieldwork a few years ago. The bands are showing how much the tidal regime affected this site even approx 40 miles inland from the sea.

Another piece of the puzzle at #Umhlatuzana. Irini Sifogeorgaki and myself just published the results of our analysis of sediment colour at the site, which complements earlier work trying to ascertain the integrity of its #Archaeological assemblages.

So, I teach at a small liberal arts college (Denison University) where some people are surprised to discover that we do #science. Like, that faculty do research. We do!

I study crystals erupted by #volcanoes to map what is happening inside the volcano before/during/after it erupts.

I've had many students work with me on this research and other projects that have ranged from #tectonics to #geoarchaeology. That's the fun of the liberal arts.

#Introduction

Hello everyone!

I am a #PhD candidate in #PhysicalGeography at the University of #Plymouth (UK)!

I am interested in how people have interacted with #landscapes through deep time and our effect on the #environment. #geoarchaeology, #gis, and #palaeoecology are my tools of the trade.

I used to work in #geomatics and also do some consulting part-time.

Outside of work, I like #gardening, #3DPrinting and hanging out with my animals. :)
