Last Wednesday I organised the first 'Earth Science Networking Event' for the department here at Liverpool. There were lots of great presentations/posters summarising staff/PGR's research and ideas. We also held a 'Geoscience Related Song' post-it note board to make our very own playlist! ⚒️
A group of people sat in rows of chairs that are positioned in front of a projector screen. There is a presentation slide showing the methodology of X-Ray computed tomography. A brown poster board with post-it notes placed on top in various positions. In the centre is an A4 piece of paper with the words 'What are some 'geoscience' related songs?'. The surrounding post-it notes have answers to this question including 'Diamonds' and 'Rock DJ'. A brown poster board with post-it notes placed on top in various positions. In the centre is an A4 piece of paper with the words 'What is your favourite rock/mineral?'. The surrounding post-it notes have answers to this question including 'Basalt' and 'Ice'.

Hello! I wanted my first post on here to be thin section related after I've been taking new scans of my Australian samples to capture microstructural textures and mineral relationships. I'm a PhD student at Liverpool MAGMA Lab researching magmatic fluid flow in volcanic plumbing systems 🌋
The image shows a cross-polarised light photomicrograph of a thin section that contains large quantities of olivine, plagioclase and vesicles. The image is on a computer screen where the full section scan has been taken using facilities in the SEM-SRF at Liverpool. There is a scale bar at the top left of the image that reads 5000 um.
