Friday Rocks 1

Up-section [2014-02-21 17:26:00]   recommend this post  (1379 visits)

Lately I've been posting some photos from my research trips to Instagram and I thought why not repost them here in better quality. Every Friday I'll post a new photo of a rock landscape with some description and light interpretation. Enough talk, [...]

Are geologists different?

Geological Society of London blog [2014-02-17 12:59:04]   recommend this post  (857 visits)

We’re a little unclear as to the origin of this clipping (can anyone help?) Whilst of course not condoning the somewhat outdated gender stereotyping, and without wishing to malign engineers (our very own President is one, after all), we [...]

The camel that broke the Bible’s back?

The GeoChristian [2014-02-17 06:11:47]   recommend this post  (807 visits)

Here’s another “science proves the Bible wrong” story that has been in the news lately, in which science does not prove the Bible wrong. In this case, it has to do with archeology and the domestication of the camel. The first [...]

Spinosauras Vs T. Rex

Dinosaur Home - Blogs [2014-02-17 13:57:15]   recommend this post  (773 visits)

Tyrannosaurus Advantages 1. A bite force which would crush any part of the body it happens to bite onto. It’s bite force was much stronger than as Spinosaurus’ bite force. 2. It was the most muscular meat eating dinosaur. It had more [...]

On 26 January and 3 February, two strong and shallow earthquakes of magnitude 6+ occured at the island of Kefalonia/Cephalonia in Western Greece. The events caused intense damage to buildings and infrastructure. A team of EERI (Earthquake [...]

Traces of glacial ice and water

Metageologist [2014-02-16 13:04:29]   recommend this post  (718 visits)

There’s an immediacy to the study of the Quaternary (the last few million years) that is rather seductive. Most geology is (after John McPhee) studying ‘the former world’ but the Quaternary is close enough in time that it is still [...]
