Driving Through the Most Dangerous Plate Boundary in the World: A Compilation of Fear(somely cool geology)

Geotripper [2015-07-05 07:19:00]   recommend this post  (981 visits)

Without a doubt, subduction zones are the most dangerous plate boundaries on the planet. Divergent plate boundaries produce earthquakes and occasional volcanoes, but nothing on the fearsome scale of the calderas and stratovolcanoes and magnitude 9 [...]

Theropoda [2015-07-05 16:08:00]   recommend this post  (973 visits)

Dei film di Jurassic Park si è detto molto. Molti di coloro che detestano l'idea che questi film siano un pretesto per parlare di scienza si ripiegano nel mantra acefalo del “è solo un film”. All'estremo opposto, quelli che credono che solo i [...]

Una nueva campaña de excavaciones acercará a veinticinco investigadores hasta la sierra de la Demanda burgalesa. Todos trabajarán con una meta: la de encontrar nuevas huellas de un saurópodo que entienden como único en el mundo y que, por tal [...]

Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs [2015-07-05 16:45:00]   recommend this post  (898 visits)

More thoughts on the Joni Mitchell conference

Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week [2015-07-05 21:52:27]   recommend this post  (863 visits)

I wanted to get my initial report on the Joni Mitchell conference out quickly. But since posting it, more thoughts have bubbled up through my mind. I’m thinking here mostly about how a humanities conference varies from a science one. Now of [...]

Views of the Mahantango [2015-07-05 09:01:00]   recommend this post  (842 visits)

If I may paraphrase the song "New York, New York" by Gerard Kenny, Macropleura is a brachiopod so nice, they named it twice! Macropleura macropleura is a large brachiopod and hard to mistake for something else in the Kalkberg formation. I've found [...]
