How did Everest get to be the world's tallest mountain? Luck, apparently. And also India. Find out more in my latest for @AGU_Eos! Many thanks to @kplars, @antarctica360, and more for their insights.

Geo-Twitter people! I’d like to take a moment to spam you about the session Dennis Newell and I are convening at @geosociety Connects 2023! Our friend and colleague, Micah Jessup, is retiring due to health concerns. We’re hoping to pull together an amazing session to honor him

It was a real pleasure to sit down with Oliver Strimpel to discuss research and the #petrochronology revolution. Take a listen if you want to learn more about our unique lab facility and the science we do at @EarthSciUCSB
Listen to John Cottle @antarctica360 on the petrochronology revolution that he and his team at @UCSB ushered in with the laser ablation split-stream method. Thousands of crystal domain measurements in mere hours. #Geology #Minerals #Himalaya #Antarctica

#UCSB scientists have made new discoveries, changing what we know about the Late Cretaceous. Previously thought to be a volcanically active & humid time, research has shown the presence of icy conditions and multiple glaciers.
