Postdocs Marco and Milad demonstrate that #breakingrocks #rocks

More BSc thesis time! Jesse worked today with BSc Iris to scan the heterogeneous Rotliegend cores .. always good to scan before breaking! #breakingrocks #rocks

PhD Jesse came by in the afternoon and made my day with these freshly cored heterogeneous #Rotliegend #sandstone samples for #CrossScale w/ @geoenergyprof.bsky.social Aren't they pretty? Next: cutting them (and deciding where...), CT scan, porosimetry and then... Break them! 😎😎 #breakingrocks #rocks

Today it was former PD Debanjan Chandra who took the stage, to talk about using sonic velocities to monitor CO2 plume migration #CCS #breakingrocks #rocks

#GirlsDay today! On behalf of our Faculty @tudelftceg.bsky.social. We talked about earthquakes, geology & geothermal energy. We used straws to drill geologically layered clay, jumped and registered the "seismic wave" with @phyphox.org and of course we broke a rock! #breakingrocks #rocks 🤓😎

There we go! Two more big ones to close off 2024 🤩🤩🤩 let's break some salt today #breakingrocks #rocks #EPOS_NL

"open heart surgery" the rock mechanics way... We wrapped this salt cube (30cm) for safe keeping last summer, and will hydrofrac it coming Wednesday in our true triax 🤩 #breakingrocks #rocks

Today we loan our 50 kN loading frame to a colleague working on grout, a bentonite-cement mix. It isn't rock but we'll excuse it because it has such a pretty colour and fractures nicely 😏😏😏 #breakingrocks #rocks
