I find rock in all it's forms just fascinating. I love the striations, pattern, color, texture and design.This particular rocky surface with it's hills, gully's, dark colors and deep grooves seemed to form a landscape from another planet. Found at #WreckIsland #GeorgianBay #Ontario

This #geological formation (East Lady Evelyn Conservation Reserve) is near my hometown and quite amazing to visit - in particular to paddle a #canoe around. This geology is one of the reasons we were taught about #glaciation and their retreat during school. Features like eskers, kettles, moraines, and kames were all familiar to those in the area. #NorthernOntario

Gorgeous lepidolite specimen that friends bought from the recent Rocks & Minerals show here.
#LepidoliteĀ is aĀ lilac-gray/rose-colored member of theĀ #micaĀ group ofĀ #minerals . It's the most abundantĀ #lithium bearing mineral & al secondary source of this metal. It's a major source of theĀ alkali metalĀ #rubidium too.

#Collaboration is at the heart of the #CriticalZone Collaborative Network.
Here's an example of what that looks like for #undergraduate researchers. Data included in a recent #Geological Sciences of America meeting was collected by equipment designed by one Cluster and used by another.

"We donāt just need a #planet roughly the same size and #temperature as #Earth; we need a planet that spent billions of years evolving with us. We depend completely on the billions of other living #organisms that make up Earthās #biosphere. Without them, we cannot survive. Astronomical observations and Earthās #geological record are clear: the only planet that can support us is the one we evolved with. There is no plan B. "

#DoNoHarm: Our coalition which includes the Sierra Club and the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band prevailed in court! Valleywater violated the California Environmental Quality Act (#CEQA) by trying to bypass a review of how a #geological study would impact the #environment. Time for the District to work on better #waterprojects like #stormwater & #wastewater recycling and #waterefficiency (#MWENDO) that we proposed.

A series of ancient #landslides have been "reawakened"Ā in #BritishColumbia #Cariboo region, according to the #BCgovernment costing hundreds of millions in federal #disaster #AssistanceFunds .
While the #BCNDP links the reactivation of the slides to #ClimateChange - #experts #warnĀ the problem is #connected to #logging in the area.

Roseberry Common: Reliving an old training route over the bracken
One of my favourite training routes used to be a circuit around Roseberry Common, where I would carefully choose the best path through the varied terrain. I like to revisit this route before the bracken becomes too thick to navigate. When I look at the Topping from this viewpoint, the dominant colours are ...
