#FootpathFriday
I discovered this old, seaside walkway nestled in a small waterfront pocket park in Esquimalt, 20 years ago. The end of the walkway & rocky beach area has views of CFB Naden, which is beside the park. There's a fence/gate to block access to this concrete footpath now - I climbed around it. I've done many past photoshoots at this location with various models.

Very cool study documenting global #sealevel fluctuations over the past ~550 million years based on #ice sheet #models, #astronomical forcing and #geological evidence

We talk a lot about #sea level rise due to #warming and ice melt. That it's not just based on models. We have a robust #geological record of ice melt events to talk about this with relative confidence*.

UNESCO Global Geoparks are distinct regions with internationally important geology that tells the story of earth’s history. UNESCO revalidates geoparks every four years, and three of the five in Canada — among only 229 on the planet — have been told they need to improve.

Some of the beach rocks I've recently collected to add to our gardens. Soaking out the saltwater in a bucket.

How did eastern #NorthAmerica form?
North America today is made of several different parts. The west are relatively young and mighty mountain ranges like Sierra Nevada and Rockies. In the middle is ancient heart of the continent, oldest and stablest rocks around. And in the east is the long coastal stretch of the eastern North American margin. Each of these has its own #geological history, but it is the story of the eastern bit that has recently come into sharper focus.

Collisions hold lessons for how the edges of continents are built and change over time.

Engaging state geological surveys in implementing data stewardship practices: a pilot workshop at the Kentucky Geological Survey

State geological surveys create and steward valuable long-term earth and environmental science datasets and often serve as physical archives for material samples. Often funded directly through state legislatures, these agencies face varying degrees of support, nuanced regulations and public-serving missions that direct their research and day-to-day operations. Scientists at state geological surveys produce a range of outputs: datasets that may be stored internally, through an institutional repository or disseminated to broader community repositories and publications that may include both grey and peer-reviewed literature. This paper discusses a workshop held at the Kentucky Geological Survey to introduce researchers to data management, sharing and stewardship practices and to better understand obstacles to implementing such practices.

Day eleven: ☢️💧

“About 90% of the #nuclear generation capacity the #Coalition proposes to build would not have access to enough water to run safely, according to a report commissioned by #LiberalsAgainstNuclear.

The report authored by Prof. #AndrewCampbell, a visiting fellow at the Australian National University (#ANU) , assessed nuclear energy’s #water needs and the available #supply across the seven sites where the Coalition has proposed new reactors.”

“Well done Angus”

If you remember the member for #Hume is insisting the Federal Government if the #LNP wins election will purchase, run and make a profit using nuclear power.

No mention of locations of power generation sites (I assume existing sites) nor is there any mention of #geological, #enviromental or #NuclearWaste disposal studies.

Not enough water available for Coalition’s nuclear proposal to run safely, report finds

Analyst says nuclear is the ‘thirstiest’ energy source, as report commissioned by Liberal supporters throws doubt on plan’s feasibility

Lake Greenhow: A Forgotten Relic of the Ice Age

Yesterday’s post led me to glaciers, glacial lakes, and the like. At Botton Head, my imagination ran riot.

Difficult as it is to picture now, 10,000 years ago, a glacier covered the Tees Valley before me. The ice sheet, it is well-known, never quite managed to smother the Nor ...
