It’s accretionary wedge time again an this month Dino Jim is asking us to ‘think outside the box’ when teaching geology. I seem to detect a food theme developing. Here is a quick piece on using a banana as an analogue for rock deformation in general, and fault propagation folding in particular.

I became a geologist because I can’t sing. Back when I was in high school, my school, a ‘bog-standard’ comprehensive, reckoned it had a really good school choir.

The mission for this month is … “Where and when would you most like to visit to witness and analyse an event in Earth’s history?”. I suppose that like most geologists I’d like to visit the K/Pg [...] Gary Hayes at Geotripper for accretionary wedge #16 asks … “What are the places and events that you think should all geologists should see and experience before they die? What are the places you know and love that best exemplify geological principles and processes?” He also wants … “a truly international list. I also want to get a list [...] “What is your favourite place to do field work?” is the question Dave Schumaker at Geology News is asking as last this month’s Accretionary Wedge. I am extremely lucky having a job that allows me out into the field occasionally, even if at the minute it is just down the road. In my top five I would [...] |
