I can no longer make fun of @zwingll for continually mixing up onsen and Unzen. Up until last week I thought Ottolenghi was just a variant name of Oldoinyo Lengai that people used when talking about regional dishes

THREAD - The Drowning of Doggerland (1) Cities may be burnt & forgotten, distant islands lost & found. It is rare that an entire landmass is erased, only to be rediscovered millennia later. This is the story of Europe's true Atlantis, of a Prehistoric world, lost to the sea.

#ScienceTwitter I have a question. Given the state of... this platform I have been thinking about how to archive the tweets I have used in my recent eruption publications. I currently just have screenshots not labeled in any particular way for my reference. 1/2

Latest news about Twitter API pricing indicate a MINIMUM 42 000$/MONTH! As a not for profit NGO there is NO way we could possibly such a huge fee. In this case after 11 years, @LastQuake will have to stop. Please support us and RT to #saveLastQuake @TwitterDev @elonmusk

There are desperate scenes again in the southeast of #Turkey. After the #earthquake, now heavy rains have caused #flooding. Locally heavy rainfall will occur late tonight. The new forecasts are not promising for the weekend. 1/3

1) This is not a prediction, it has no details or basis. 2) Strong aftershocks are always possible, the risk goes down slowly over time. 3) You should mute this account.
A stronger aftershock may occur in or near Central Turkey in the coming days.

Forget the groundhog, we use a 14,400’ active stratovolcano to predict the weather. Mountain out? Good weather. Mountain not out? Bad weather. Mountain actively erupting? Lahar weather. – at Olympia, WA

As a geologist, there is something thrilling about chasing an ore vein through the sedimentary layers to the source pluton. The graphical version is out today. #dwarffortress
