Finally, I happened to spend a few days in my happy place, Sendai. The bear crisis in Japan got until Nishi-park, bears and boars seen about 100 m from where I was living (and I lived downtown!). Lots of great food and meeting old friends!
We kept our active volcano sampling from last year. And collected a rock in a cherry-tree path in bloom. You can’t get more geo-Japanese than hanami sampling.
So back to Europe after 3 fantastic field weeks in Japan. I did not share the latest pictures because the thing got quite intense and forgot.
We drill holes for pmag and are onigiri replicating granites of the Sanyo belt.

Radiolarites are pretty boring rocks that, well, become extremely interesting when accreted to the continents. #fieldwor #Fridayfold #rainy #Geosciences

New paper alert!
I have always wanted to work in old rocks and my Indian colleagues, especially my good friend Biraja, made that possible!

Colour illustration of rock formations with wheat growing on them, entitled 'View in the Great Chasm of Axmouth Landslip.' Looking Westward. Reaping the Wheat 25th August 1840.' The illustration includes depictions of people in 19th century clothing.
This beautiful colour plate shows rock formations on the East Devon coast caused by landslips between December 1839 & February 1840. Corn grew on the rocks that had fallen from the fields above, attracting fascinated visitors.

Paleoclimatologist Jessica Tierney recently published a global temperature record covering almost the past half-billion years. According to her model, 50 million years ago, inland temperatures approached 122 degrees Fahrenheit. www.quantamagazine.org/climate-extr...
It’s that time of the year, again…

Trop nombreuses, frauduleuses ou écrites par intelligence artificielle générative : les critiques à l’égard des publications scientifiques s’accumulent à l’heure de leur surproduction. Faut-il dès lors en faire le deuil ?

Picture of rock face of Mount Piz d'Artgas (Elevation: 2600m / 8530ft) showing dark brown rock matrix with abundant light brown flat elongated Nummulite fossils in various orientations. A humans left hand on the left part of the picture for size reference. Trivia: The ancient Egyptians used nummulite shells as coins, pyramid limestones contain nummulites.
