Every day a new atrocity in #Gaza. And still the UK supplies lethal weaponry to the Israeli government. There is a term for this: complicity in genocide.

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

Bonding environment of heavy stable isotope versus light stable isotope

Is the world 1.3°C or 1.5°C warmer? Historical ship logs hold answers Diverging estimates of 19th century ocean temperatures drive uncertainty over global warming

When Earth's temperature breaches +1.5/+2C depends on our emission choices and on the T during the pre-industrial era. Due to changes in the way we have measured ocean T through time (tinyurl.com/3trsfbrj) pre-industrial T is uncertain. Palaeoclimate offers a way to reduce this uncertainty (1/2) 🧪⚒️🌊

Thin section microscope image showing a background of black, white, and very pale yellow plagioclase covered in a series of long worm-shaped olivine crystals, all showing bright second order birefringence colours like yellow, purple, and blue. They are all aligned down towards the right.

Probably the best individual thin section ever produced. John Faithfull's slice of the olivine cumulate from Unit 5 of the Rùm layered intrusion. #ThinSectionThursday

A plaque on a wall in Glasgow celebrating Federick Soddy the text says: At a dinner party held in this house in 1913 Federick Soddy (1877-1956) introduced the concept of "isotopes". He was awarded the Nobel prize in 1921 for his work on radioactivity. Photo from X account of @is_glasgow

Happy Isotope Day everyone! 🥳On this day in 1913 Nature published Federick Soddy's paper "Intra-atomic Charge" www.nature.com/articles/092... in which he introduced the term "isotope" (coined after a dinner conversation in Glasgow with Margaret Todd the classics scholar). how will you celebrate?🧪⚒️🌊

Nah in the published version 😅

Recently observed an increasing number of papers where no mention or thanks is given to either the reviewers or editors in the acknowledgments. I find this a tad rude and disrespectful given that people are giving up their time to provide (hopefully) fair and constructive feedback for your benefit

📨New series of interviews in which we will introduce you to the board members of the AGC journal. Our first interview is with Marc-Alban, the Coordinating Editor of AGC. You can find the full article here journals.uu.se/AGC/community

The D-Day has arrived, the website agcj.org of Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry (AGC) journal is launched!

What is AGC journal?
A DOA journal dedicated for geo/cosmochemistry by and for researchers!

More info will come soon!

Comment piece from the Sunday Times' Alice Thompson: "Don't replace the culture war with a class war"

Actually no, let's do this; it would be Good, Actually

One silver lining of this election is getting incompetent toffs out of influential cabinet positions. Having rich parents pay stupid amounts of money to send you to school should never be a gateway to power.

Roth et al. estimate seismic velocity variations in crustal rocks surrounding fluid injection activity, combine it with rock physical models, and reveal how fluid injection promotes fracture growth and weakens the rock volume.

For everyone who’s been using Ti-in-quartz or Ti-in-zircon thermometers, my 2 cents on what to watch out for when constraining the aTiO2 just got published on Geology 😌
