It is indeed the realm of the tardigrades. I filmed this one not far from where that picture is taken.

The Naples #tsunami struck the Tyrrhenian Sea on Nov 25, 1343. Triggered by an #earthquake - or a potential #landslide at Stromboli volcano - it caused significant damage and loss of lives in Naples. The tsunami destroyed ships in Naples and the coast and city of Amalfi. 🧪⚒️

Ancient Tsunami Tied to Volcanic Flank Collapse in Italy - Eos
Stromboli’s volcanic cone may have suffered multiple flank collapses between the 14th and 16th centuries, triggering tsunamis that led to the abandonment of the island.

About me: I am interested in geodynamics, plate tectonics, natural hazards, georesources and the carbon cycle - using numerical models like the one below. 🧪⚒️

I co-organize and post about the monthly online #RiftAndRiftedMarginsSeminar. More infos here: tinyurl.com/RiftAndRiftedMarginsSeminar

Illustrating a natural disaster on an #earlymodern #broadside:

After the #landslide of 1618 in #Piuro (then a city within the Three Leagues, Raetia) that wiped out the city and killed thousands, a Swiss printer came up with this idea: using a liftable flap that offers a before and after scenario.

I've added brief bios of a couple of Canadian paleontologists to 'Pioneering women in Earth science' who had a few 'firsts', bucking the male-dominated geology scene in the early 20th C - Alice Wilson & Madeleine Fritz ⚒️🧪

Pioneering Women in Earth Science
The last 2-3 decades have seen a surge in interest towards the historical role of women in emerging Earth sciences from the 17th C and on.

🇩🇪 🌋 ❓❓ ‼️

Are there volcanoes in Germany ?
Are there ACTIVE volcanoes in Germany ?

Those who equate volcanism with hot, red LAVA say NO.

Geologists say YES - & found that the number of micro-earthquakes increased around the active volcano at Lake Laach in the Volcanic Eifel.

1/4

Here’s a few of my favorite radiolaria that we created for our Patreon. Radiolaria are microscopic marine protozoa that build incredibly intricate geometric skeletons from silica and they’ve been a big inspiration for our work for a long time. #sciart

“people who follow you actually see the things you post” is, apparently, a bespoke feature of social media only available here on bluesky
The fact that there’s so much more engagement here than on threads seems to point a real throttling of content

You can imagine how well this article, with its glossy, clickbait headline, is going down on LinkedIn…

Professor Yusoff has written a whole-ass book on the links between racism, colonialism, and #geology, yet the fragile, white men are losing their shit…

Here's a quick weekend tip to help clarify your charts 📊

- Say out loud, in a sentence, what the audience is supposed to see in the shapes. -

"The orange line starts low but passes the others halfway through"
"The top bar is much longer than the second longest one"
"The big circles are all blue"

The world's first "seismoscope" (predecessor to the seismograph) looked more like an urn than a scientific instrument. But the key hangs at its center: a pendulum. An arm attaches the pendulum to each dragon, which holds a ball in its mouth

This is relevant once again ⚒️ but the influx is huge this week and there is no way to keep up. It’s great to see many non-specialists joining to read about Earth science from the experts’ perspective (we try anyway). Message if you want to be a contributor.
@earth-science.bsky.social - just breaking the fourth wall for a moment here. We have had many new users joining and following the ⚒️list which is wonderful. I usually monitor the follows and will add people to the posting list if they are knowledgeable earth scientists …

Ball Ice is an extremely rare form of ice, first document in Antarctica in 1949. There is no obvious internal structure to ball ice, and the conditions of its formation and growth are largely unknown.

This plant is full of wonders. 🧪🌿🌊🦑❄️

690 - 660 million years ago, the pressure of the ice sheets over what would be someday be Pikes Peak of Colorado injected sand into the fractured bedrock below the ice of the landmass, then near the equator, suggesting the ice must have covered the entire planet, or #SnowballEarth ⚒️🧪🪨
