#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. :)

magnitude 5.0 #earthquake offshore #Nicaragua 30 minutes ago (2022-11-27Z08:32). Data from station NU.MGAN (Managua, Nicaragua, courtesy of the Nicaragua Seismic Network and obtained from IRIS). This is a good example of why we usually use the vertical component to measure the P-wave arrival and the horizontal components to measure the arrival of the S-phase.

Also in the Christmas tree decorations are two «Powell and Hyde» San Francisco cable cars! Everyone associates San Francisco with Christmas, right? Or is that just geophysicists?

Perfection!

Hi! I’m a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada and adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. I study #earthquakes and focus mostly on #SeismicRisk and #ActiveTectonics. I’m interested in #Paleoseismology #Neotectonics #Seismology #Geodesy and #SeismicHazard.

I’m also chair of the #AGU Hazards Equity Working Group, a Fast Reports editor at @weareseismica and a Building Equity & Capacity committee member for #SZ4D.

It’s #FollowFriday so boost this post and help God get more followers! The more people that follow Me here the more comedy people on Twitter will realize they should move to Mastodon!

I am just dying right now! ☠️

HOW was this done last year- and I missed it? 😳 #StarTrek #AllIWantForChristmasIsQ #Christmas 🎄

An #ASTER image of the Zagros Mts in Fars, #Iran, because #FridayFold and #Geology rules!

And sorry, I can't remember the band combination I used… It's an old composition, but it's false colour, that's for sure 😅

It represents shortwave #infrared and near infrared light, combined as red, green and blue. The colours highlight different rock types that would be "invisible" to the naked eye. It's perhaps 30 km wide.

Amazing #folds

#remotesensing #earthobservation #space #science #satellite

Soft sediment folds for #FoldFriday These gorgeous blocks of downslope slump folds, with a syn-sedimentary, mini erosive unconformity above, are from the Upper Ordovician Ardwell Farm Formation, exposed on the shore south of #Girvan. #Hunterian museum collections. #Geology #Sedimentology #FridayFold

One of my favourite #Fridayfold locations in the Åland Islands, between Finland and Sweden.

This is my first post to this group. As #introduction, I am a scientist that hopes to connect with newsies that are civil, want fact-based information, and that care about humanity and our planet. I love #geology, but I'm not much of a rockhound. I am very much interested in #education and seeking research-based teaching methods that are most effective for our future citizen.
