Betics Year 2 Fieldwork: Things are going up! We’ve been around Ronda looking at uplifted Neogene sediments (including an excellent gorge). Then off to find a exciting set of three aluminosilicate minerals which “shouldn’t coexist”, and only do because of their rapid exhumation.

Betics: Days 2&3: A journey to the centre of the earth - travelling down from shale kink folds, through a rather nice gneiss, right to the mantle! Next, field sketching an unconformity worthy of Hutton himself & some structural scrutinisation of sense of shear in an augen gneiss.

Betics: Day 4: In and around the Sorbas Basin looking at coral reefs & a lot of groovy fossils. While admiring some massive gypsum “cauliflowers” caused by the partial evaporation of the Med Sea during the Messinian Salinity Crisis, we were overrun by some lively Spanish goats!

Betics Days 5&6: We've been making cross-sections through the thin-skinned fold & thrust belt. We used fossils to figure out the stratigraphy, including some lovely sea urchins. Yet again, the wildlife was diverting, and one of the highlights was watching a snake eat a frog!

Betics Day 7: Lessons in how to make and fill a hole. Sketching huge slump folds in the Gordo Megabed which formed during an underwater landslide in the Tabernas Basin. Then on to some very unhappy rocks deformed along basin-bounding faults (including a rainbow-stripe gouge!)

Betics Grand Finale: Folds, faults, and freak volcanoes! We enjoyed the spectacular volcanic rocks of Cabo de Gata followed by the unique garnet volcano of Cerro del Hoyazo. But no trip to the Betics is complete without witnessing the rainbow that is the Carboneras Fault Zone🌈

A field trip with a difference: The inaugural EarthSciences UCL UCL Women in Earth Science trip to #Cornwall has so far enjoyed yoga, cream teas at Cornish Lavender (jam first!), a bit of geology (but just a bit) and SPECTACULAR scenery. Cabaret night tonight… help! 😬

Really excited to see our #openaccess paper out today! Great work led by Thomas Lamont suggesting Laramide porphyry #copper deposits in the western USA resulted from water-fluxed crustal melting during flat-slab subduction. Huge thanks to BHP & National Environmental Isotope Facility for funding! 🌟🌵🌎🇺🇲
