Want to know about the rock you are standing on? Learn the paleography? Take strike and dip? Find an outcrop? Check out #RockD app by @UWMacrostrat! Amazing for those interested in#geoscience.

I had forgotten all about my visit to Hollister in 2010 to capture the fault creep in digital photos. Here are a few of those images. Attn: @tsherryUSA & @phaneritic

Watch spatter ramparts being created, live! This will be a great video to use when I teach volcanology again. m.youtube.com/watch?v=SN4ai4…

Mount St. Helens and the Fear of Not Knowing

Mount St. Helens and the Fear of Not Knowing

In the era before cellphones and Twitter, awaiting a looming dark cloud of volcanic ash was full of anxiety and wonder—then the sky turned black.

Fascinating thread about the water crisis in Mexico City and the role of geology. I had previously looked into this from the point of view of amplified earthquake ground motions, and it is fascinating to read about this perspective. teapawt.org/zoeschlanger/status/99…

I spent last month working from Mexico City, a place in constant—and worsening—water crisis. I wrote about how an ancient lava flow might hold a key to solving it 🌋🇲🇽qz.com/1281506/solving-mexic…
