Follow me over to bluer skies and the place named after the thing you sew with. My username is my full name for both. I'm sad to leave this account, and I may still pop in now and again. But for regular geology fun, I hope you find me on the other platforms!

It’s with a heavy heart that I report at least 51 people have died in Valencia province following total devastation from the worst storm in decades. Authorities fear the toll may rise, as Tuesday alone brought over a year’s worth of rain to parts of the region, with 491mm (19.3

.@NASA, @NOAA , and the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel have officially declared that the solar maximum has begun. This marks the peak of the Sun's 11-year activity cycle, characterized by frequent sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. The solar maximum brings

At first, I was a tree, now I’m petrified. Thinking all my wooden rings had turned to stone inside...⁣ Well, that explains the expression. #NationalFossilDay

TikTok is addictive—something the company specifically designed for. Their analysis says it only takes 260 videos (~35 min) to form a TikTok habit. ALSO compulsive use is tied to the loss of analytical skills, empathy, and a slew of other neg impacts. 😬

Thanks so much for sharing! It fills my heart with so much happiness to see kids enjoying my book!💜 🪨

I feel so defeated by this years Nobel prize science awardees. I love their discoveries, don't get me wrong, but I refuse to believe that no women are deserving of being laureates.

Love this! See your name in the land using Landsat :) https://t.co/ceItcGczG3

Got some gorgeous dancing lights tonight in Iceland. 💚

Geo twitter! What do you think this is? A #smithsonianjourneys traveler found it on a beech on Iceland’s snæfellsnes peninsula. I initially thought it was basalt that had quartz or something crystallizing in its vesicles. But the circules are rather even — any thoughts???

Got crazy lucky whale watching with the @smithsonian travelers in Iceland! Spotted something like 20 humpbacks and 2 minke whales! Also just a gorgeous day for whale watching all around. #smithsonianjourneys #onassignment

@ScienceMagazine Adding the team’s great explainer video about the mysterious seismic wave to this thread!

So many of us have had horrible experiences with bullying, gaslighting, & being worn down by people in out field. This initiative needs our help to get a grasp on what this looks like to work towards creating a safer workspace for us all. I'll be filling it in, please share ❤️

So they reached out to local scientists, who informed them of a giant tsunami in a remote fjord. Slowly the pieces of the puzzle finally clicked into place. I dug into the seismic mystery in a story for @ScienceMagazine! https://t.co/KEqpxNRQqy

What was most crazy about this strange signal was their persistence. This wasn't just a blip on a sensor. These waves rang Earth like a bell for an astounding nine days. The team backtracked the signals to a large swath of land in east Greenland...
