I’ll go ahead and pick up the ball for the next Accretionary Wedge, and after thinking about it for a bit, the topic I settled on is “What is the most important geological experience you’ve had?” The key word there is “important,” and the real task is going to [...]
From GSA (Geological Society of America) Connections:Each month (or thereabouts), the themed geology blog carnival "Accretionary Wedge" invites geoblogger contributions. July's theme, the role of geoblogosphere, generated quite a bit of activity. A synthesis of contributions is hosted on the [...]

You are invited to join us for a group discussion on Skype of “Current Issues in the Geoblogosphere” on Saturday, 7 August 2010 at 1300EDT/1700GMT. E-mail rschott@outcrop.org to join. For a good primer to the discussion you’re encouraged to review the blog posts from July’s [...]
"The P.R. campaign on this fossil is I think more of a story than the fossil itself"Matt CartmillBrian Switek, the well-known freelance science-blogger and author published a paper in which he analyses the relationships between science blogs, media and paleontological news-release based on the IDA [...]
Please go over and check out the new Accretionary Wedge post at the History of Geology blog.Accretionary Wedge #26 - The role of the geoblogosphere. Nice set up and a rather enjoyable read on what people think of the geoblogosphere in today's scientific community. It is shame I didn't have time to [...]
I don’t have any review to post this week. Instead, you should head over to David Bressan’s blog History of Geology to read the summary (and then all the individual posts) for this month’s geoscience blog carnival, The Accretionary Wedge. This month’s installment was [...]
In the Middle Ages (in Europe) merchants of the same trade tended to put up their shops in the same street. Funny enough this lead to more customers for everybody. Some streets in old town centres around the market square still bear names like Baker Street, Greengrocer Street, Butter Street or [...]
Chris Rowan hat ein Foto-Glossar des vergangenen Accretionary Wedge Blog-Karnevals veröffentlicht. Es fasst alle eingereichten Geofotos mit kurzen Erklärungen zusammen und verlinkt auf die detaillierteren Beiträge der jeweiligen Geoblogger. Ich hatte damals ein Foto von [...]
Chris put together an illustrated glossary with the geo-photographs submitted to the last Accretionary Wedge carnival. It displays the great diversity of geosciences, educates and provides deeper explantions by linking to the original posts. At the time I submitted a photo of twinned
Accretionary Wedge #25: An Illustrated Glossary of Cool Geological Things Category: geology • photos Posted on: June 2, 2010 7:15 AM, by Chris Rowan Welcome to the latest edition of the Accretionary Wedge geoblogging carnival. We’ve been delighted by the response to our call for your [...]
Prologue: “Deep in the forest a man sitting on a large stone heard a voice. “Do you want to hear a story?” The man looked up, and wondered, because nobody was there. “Do you want to hear a story?” repeated the voice. Then the man realized that the voice was coming from the stone, where [...]
I’ve tended to do my geoblogging omphaloskepsis in late December or early January, shortly after the deadline for New Years Resolutions has passed (Schott, 2006; Schott, 2007; Schott, 2010). But this month, the Accretionary Wedge asks “What’s about the Geoblogosphere?” and [...]
I got to borrow a class today. This was important for me in this most unusual summer. California's budget crunch left me with no classes to teach over the summer months for the first time in years, and I was going through withdrawal pains.I wasn't really aware of this at the time, as I had immersed [...]
Not that kind of impact! Courtesy NASA/Don Davis.
David Bressan over at History of Geology poses the questions du mois: How can geoblogging impact society and "real geology"? Should and can we promote the "geoblogosphere"? Are blogs private “business” or public affairs? Are [...]
A short and last remainder that the Accretionary Wedge deadline is in the next 24 hours, I’m beginning to edit the corresponding post, but there is still the short term possibility to contribute or to submit links and sneak them in. A personal thank you to all who send in their post until now, [...]
David Bressan and Michael Welland are co-hosting this month's Accretionary Wedge, which goes meta and asks questions about the Geoblogosphere and geoblogging. Where is the geoblogosphere going? Can geoblogging impact society? What is the purpose of geoblogging? Without going into a long rant about [...]
This topic interests me because I’m very interested in how the collection, storage and dissemination of information has changed in less than two decades.Douglas Adams gave a talk at a tech conference in Cambridge in 1998 (audio - transcript, in which he described the leaps in human knowledge in [...]
The July 2010 Accretionary Wedge (No.26) is dedicated to the Geoblogosphere, focusing of its possibility to educate and promote geosciences. The incoming posts (but there is still time) show an extraordinary diversity and interpretation of the topic itself and offer a lot to discuss on.I tried to [...]
