I've gone through a good portion of the archives. If you're not familiar with the Boneyard, or the concept [...]
Illo by Homie Bear, via Flickr.The world-devouring juggernaut that is TriceraFAIL continues to wreak its singularly depressing breed of havoc. Check out this weird piece from the Chicago Tribune. Or this one, from yet another clueless tech site with easily provoked commenters. Like ducks and [...]
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 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

I just realized that this blog has been up for over a year now. I haven't been quite as active at blogging as I hoped I might be, but it has been a fun experience to frame up my thoughts, work through the writer's block, and connect with the vast online community. To celebrate this belated [...]

This month’s topic for the geoscience blog carnival, The Accretionary Wedge, looks inward and asks how blogging fits into the broader suite of activities and goals of geoscientists today. David Bressan of History of Geology posed this question and is hosting the compilation of responses. The [...]

The August Scientiae Carnival asks “what is going on in your life right now? What will be happening in six months or a year from now? What are your goals? Are you looking forward to the next year, or dreading it?”. This is a good time to be asking these questions of myself, since I have only [...]
Spun Around: Ediacaran displays a fossil of Redlichia takooensis (a large trilobite, around 12 to 14 centimeters in length) suffering from a curious malady: its head is on backwards. The reason? Not demonic possession, but a tragic molting accident.

As cool geo-imagery has poured in for the upcoming Accretionary Wedge*, I have been pondering what I should throw into the collective album. Eventually, I decided that when it comes to dramatic imagery that ties into my geological interests (albeit somewhat obliquely), you can't beat a lava lake.
