I guess I need to apologize to the writers of Alien: Prometheus. it turns out scientists really do touch everything like that

I am not comfortable with that outcome. As you say, it’s easier to train geoscientists to be analysts than the other way around.

Germany has seen about a fivefold increase in damages from severe storms and floods, making it one of the hardest-hit nations, acc to Munich Re, the reinsurer. The geoscientists at the insurer note that these losses have multiplied since 1980 in major industrialized countries. #ClimateChange
Unwetterschäden in Industrienationen seit 1980 vervielfacht
Warme Luft kann mehr Feuchtigkeit aufnehmen als kalte, steigende Temperaturen ziehen mehr Unwetter nach sich. Die Folgen für die Industrienationen sind kostspielig, zeigt eine Analyse der Munich Re.

Geoscientists are, sometimes, overly obsessed with specific term sets, and do get very emotional about it. I remember one talk where a distinct old professor came and told me "great talk, but you even though mechanistically that term is correct, it's reserved only for river mouths and not slopes".

lot of complicated conversation I have had recently with members of the BIPOC and LGBTQAI+ communities, and female geoscientists about how they frequently feel overlooked by those with privilege claiming to be advocates. There seems to be a lot lip service without a lot of work. 2/?

Most recently, Dr. Edgar was the Deputy PI of the Artemis III Geology team. We're all over the Moon for her to help us explore as geoscientists 🌒🔴 🧪🔭⚒️🪨🪐🚀
I'm absolutely THRILLED to hear my Mars colleague, Dr. Lauren Edgar was selected for the 2025 ASCAN Class. She will be an unbelievable addition to the Astronaut Corps- representing our Mars geology community well- and joining our current Mars geology NASA Astronaut, Dr. Jessica Watkins.

Researchers are chipping away at the mountains of climate change evidence in Ireland's geology. Literally.
What happened to Ireland's long-lost ice sheets may soon happen to those in Greenland and Antarctica, and geoscientists are working to better understand how.

I mean, there's *always* a reservoir of under-employed geoscientists from the last oil-price downturn layoffs.
I'd need to check the current numbers but AGI was reporting something like 1/3 of geo undergrads in the late 2010s were ending up in *retail*.

The WSJ article is a bit curious. Folks who work in the geothermal industry say that they get hundreds of applicants for open geoscience positions. I think there is still a reservoir of un- and under-employed geoscientists out there from the pandemic and last oil-price downturn layoffs.

Arthur Holmes was, without doubt, one of the greatest geoscientists of the 20th century. His legacies include radiometric-dating of rocks, a mechanism for lateral movement of continents and continental drift, and his inspirational big fat book -'Principles of Physical Geology' (2nd edition).
