Hi! I’m an environmental geoscientist and educator who believes passionately that meaningful place-based geoscience education can change the world.
I share about science, education, equity and my family. #Introduction #Geoscience #Science

Ever seen a headline about #volcano smoke? The grey plume that rises from a volcano isn't smoke at all, it's volcanic ash (yeah I know, the confusing term doesn't help). It's made up of pulverized rock, crystals, glass, and gases, & produces different dangers to smoke.

It's also not at all fluffy like movies like to show.

You can learn more about it and how to protect yourself here: http://inthecompanyofvolcanoes.blogspot.com/2019/05/volcanic-ash-is-not-fluffy-volcanoes.html

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Wendy! I’m an earthquake geologist and a science communication specialist. My science is focused on hazards, but my mission is to make science more understandable and accessible. #scicomm

Hello everyone! Let me reintroduce myself now that I realize the importance of hashtags here… I am Jascha Polet, #seismologist and #professor of #geophysics at Cal Poly Pomona in #California (hence the CPPGeophysics name on that other app). My focus here will be on #earthquakes, #volcanoes, geophysics, #geoscience, #science #education, indoor and outdoor animals, photography and whatever else might come to my mind. #introduction #reintroduction

I don't know exactly how I'll be using Mastodon just yet, but here's an intro: Hi, I'm Celeste! I'm an environmental seismologist, mostly specializing in seismic signals generated by glacier processes. I'm currently a postdoctoral fellow at UCalgary, which I started after finishing my PhD at Caltech in June. I sometimes take cool pictures in the field as Queen Elsa for fun and for outreach, like this one near my current field site in British Columbia:

Hello! Introducing myself including proper hashtags. I am Paula Marques Figueiredo, #Geologist working in #Paleoseimology, #ActiveTectonics, #Geomorphology, #Soils and #Geochronology (#OSL and #Cosmogenics). I work with #Earthquakes, #NaturalHazards, frequently #Trenching evidence of them. I am a native of #Portugal, living in the USA. My favorite earthquake is the #1755LisbonEarthquake (obviously)!

Hello! Here's an #Introduction.

I'm the editor of the Lost Coast Outpost (@lostcoastoutpost), a local news website in Humboldt County, California.

We've been around for almost 12 years now, and we're doing pretty well -- we have six news reporters, and we do lots meaningful work for our community. We're also very tech-forward. Hence this bespoke Mastodon instance.

I'm interested in the great journalism transformation, technology and artificial intelligence, and Brazilian music. For starters.

Hello, #Caturday! This is Katla! She is 3 years old, and I adopted her in April of 2020. She is named after one of the most infamous volcanoes in Iceland.

Katla is very friendly and vocal. She loves people and tries to make herself the center of attention at all times. If you were to visit, she'd be in your face immediately. But also be warned, she has no respect for personal space - neither for people, nor for Andreas. I've given up on hoping she'll stop following him into the litterbox...

Hi Mastodon, I’m new here!
I'm an #earthquake scientist (#geology #geomorphology #seismology) who has studied at plate boundaries (New Zealand) and stable continental regions (Australia). I now work on seismic hazard. I’m here to share info. about earthquakes and to learn from other earth and earthquake scientists. At the moment I’m a bit obsessed with seismic swarms! I might occasionally toot about other things… like music 🎶

So you want to visit an active volcano? I wrote this blog post a while ago, hoping to give people more of an idea of what to expect, what to think about, and what the dangers might be.

"This is a scary blog post to write. Why? Because even if you follow every bit of advice here you could still get hurt on a volcano"

Hello - here's my #introduction. My name is Dan and I am a geomorphologist, ice cream maker, backcountry enthusiast, rookie fly fisher, dog (x1) and human (x2) parent, and husband.

Hi, Jorge here. My #Introduction

I am originally from Spain, but I have been living for nearly 20 years in the #UK, lately in #Sussex.

I work with satellite images, producing geological maps and cross-sections. I work in mineral and oil&gas exploration.

My interests are #cycling, #photography, #synth music/instruments and current affairs.

I write in #English and #Spanish.

Hey, y’all. My name is Chris. I’m a geoscientist, working for the engineering company Jacobs. I’m from Derby, but currently based near Manchester, on the side of the Peak District, which allows me to do two things I really like; running and cycling. When not messing fiddling with the Earth, I’m usually found discussing social justice issues with a pint. I’m the woke Black man that your granny warned you about…

Hi! I'm a #volcanologist in #NewZealand (not part of Australia) working on a few different things, but mostly Ngauruhoe #volcano, or the real Mount Doom from LOTR.

I have been working to get #eruption information out to people over on the bird app and through media when needed, and helping people learn about our volcanically active planet.

Now part of the #Twittermirgration and hopefully ready for the learning curve. #Introduction #Scicomm

We're going to do this better.
