Hello #Geotwitter! We'll be posting about Structural research @DurUniEarthSci 🌍🏔️⛏️

Here's a happy person who passed her viva today! Thanks to my reviewers @seis_matters and Jon Gluyas for making it such an enjoyable experience, and to all the people that help along the way! ❤️🤗

Is there any hope for ‘pure’ helium discovery in the East African Rift to rescue the global shortages? Check out our new paper from structural perspective doi.org/10.1111/bre.12646 @k_mccaffrey @tomphillips14 @DU_Structural @OxUniEarthSci @DurUniEarthSci @BasinResearch @haniupekee

Thanks to @StCuthsCrook for participating in such a fantastic day of geoenergy and palaeoclimate change at Harehope Quarry, Weardale with @DurUniEarthSci Year-3 undergraduates😀

Had an amazing weekend in Snowdonia 🏴 climbing the Gylderau range and Mt Snowdon via the Crib Goch Arête. Great weather with some stunning views of Wales. Bonus points for some cool geology like big sigma-type porphyroclasts and beautiful columnar jointed rhyolite.

For anyone interested in working with me on a PhD in this area I am advertising the following project through @IapetusDTP please get in touch if you're interested iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/… – at Langley Park, England

2 fully-funded PhD positions in Madeleine Humphrey's @ERC_Research project STEMMS:
(1) A crystal's eye view on mushy magma storage and remobilisation
(2) The plutonic record of crystal mush storage and solidification
Contact Madeleine for more 👇

Another preprint alert! 🚨🚨 eartharxiv.org/repository/vi… Check out our work examining changes in fault reactivation and coupling along-strike and how this affects inheritance!

Empirical models and InSAR coherence methods can both be used to detect triggered landslides after an earthquake, but what if we combine the two? A preprint of our new paper is open for discussion at nhess.copernicus.org/preprin…

A day out in the field today! Doing some reconnaissance/planning for a future Covid-safe local geophysics trip for @DurUniEarthSci students - Magnetic and EM surveying searching for a buried dyke - with an interested audience at times... 🐄 🐮

This is me! Take a look 👀
"The influence of crustal strength on rift geometry and development – Insights from 3D numerical modelling"
By Phillips et al.,

Also me! And @k_mccaffrey. Take a look!
"Coupling between shallow and deep fault populations governs along-strike variations in fault reactivation and structural inheritance, the Laminaria High, NW Shelf of Australia"
By Phillips et al.,

Our new preprint is online! We use 3D numerical modelling to examine how crust with laterally changing lithologies and strength affects rift physiography
New preprint alert!!! We examine how changes in upper crustal strength influence the geometry and evolution of rifts with John Naliboff @k_mccaffrey, Sophie Pan (@BasinsIC) and @JvanHunen eartharxiv.org/repository/vi…

What makes a good Ph.D. supervisor? Just delivered a really interesting workshop with Prof Del Atkinson (Physics Durham) to reassure new supervisors and enhance best practice @DurUniEarthSci @DurhamPhysics @EducByDesign😀👩🎓🧑🎓👨🎓

15 minutes to go. Adrenaline kicking in. Showtime! #vEGU21
Looking forward to presenting at #vEGU21 tomorrow morning in session TS7.6, on orogenic plateaus and active orogens: "East Asian orogenic collapse caused by oblique subduction and reduced boundary force" @EuroGeosciences @EGU_TS @DurUniEarthSci @WongChao @jaodynamics @YangChu18

Call for abstracts is now open for the William Smith Virtual Conference in October on Geological Mapping!! Deadline 18th June. See you there😃@geolsoc @TSG_since1970 @EnergyGroupGSL @GRSG_GeolSoc

Interested in a very short-notice cost estimate of broad band seismometers- anyone know some rough estimates off the top of their head? E.g. Guralp 3T/ESP, nanometrics trillium compact etc.

It's my first @EuroGeosciences conference! Come and hear about the interesting crustal structure around Istanbul - a mishmash of ancient crustal blocks stretched out by modern day tectonics - Wed EGU21-6040.
Hopefully the conference technically issues will be sorted by then🤞

If you missed the presentation, it is not too late to join us for the rest of the session on Multiscale rock damage and then chat in a breakout room!
The session will be running until 10.30 am meetingorganizer.copernicus.…
