You mean I can now just look at it online instead of hiking all the way out to it?! Jokes aside this is one of my favourite outcrops, thanks João C. Duarte for taking me to it during my PhD

Excellent paper by Robert Stern, Taras Gerya and Paul Tackley opening the doors for a new tectonic world. Plate tectonics is only one of many modes in which planets can operate. These modes also represent different evolutionary steps. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… #geology #tectonics

My wife while I was doing my PhD on tides.

A magnitude foi atualizada para 5.4. A intensidade terá sido maior entre Sagres e Lisboa. Em Torres Vedras abanou bem durante uns 10-15 segundos. Deve ter sido um evento único mas não faz mal a ninguém ficar de prevenção.

Incredible! Only 27 Myr old too, when our solar system was this age there's a good chance the Moon didn't exist yet and Theia was still roaming around.

And it starts! The first meeting of the pan-European network on Biogeodynamics at the COST headquarters in Brussels, bringing over 70 researchers across disciplines from 23 countries to develop this emerging new field. cost.eu/actions/CA2315… #biogeodynamics
