thanks!

Thanks! There are a lot of different plotting options. I need to make some instructional videos.

Very interesting! Maybe the result of mantle metasomatism? I guess I just wasn't lucky enough!

Where in Norway? I looked for olivine in Almklovdalen, but I didn't find anything like that! This looks to me like the larger more gemmy crystals you get in metasomatized carbonate rocks instead of ultramafics.

Wow, where is that from?

Wasn't the implementation blocked by a federal judge?

Of course most of the lecture reviews papers by @fredgaidies.bsky.social

Oh this sounds interesting.

I agree. I am lucky that Bob let me work on such a cool story with him. He's published a lot on pressure solution in shear zones going back to the 80s. We are also working on some interesting aspects of activity gradients and disequilibrium mineral preservation in these rocks.

In the above image you can see that the muscovite in the kink band contains lower Na and higher Mg compared to the, consistent with selective dissolution and reprecipitation within this high strain zone.

Why are grant proposals always due at the worst times? In the US they are right after New Years, for the ERC grants they are at the beginning of the teaching term. It's like they want to torture us.

Thanks! The new influx of people was definitely an inspiration. For a while there it wasn't clear where or if people would migrate to another platform.

Mapping changes in temperature every year (1850-2023)

Each year has a different pattern of temperature variations but the trends are clear and stark
