Mini-excursion to a “pli en genou” (in English: knee-shaped fold? 🤔 ) during our 2nd year structural geology lab @unil.bsky.social. Folded Jurassic limestone and marls at the foot of the Jura mountains near Baulmes. Happy students make for an excellent winter afternoon!

First attempt at calcite vein and slickenfiber dating @ethzurich.bsky.social with Marcel Guillong for Jefter Caldeira‘s PhD project. The first results look promising 👀 Let’s see!

Took a dip into the lower crust today 🤿 UNIL colleagues and I had a great time in Megolo (Italy) visiting the drill site of DIVE, a multidisciplinary project that involves sampling rocks & microbes from the base of the Earth’s crust. Daily DIVE news: tinyurl.com/mrx3hrxf
