Since there was interest, I have set up a Google Form/Sheet for Earth Scientists on Mastodon.

https://forms.gle/iYvKHFWajKjEewsY7

Interested in #geology and #EarthScience and want people to find you? Add your name.

However, please do not add anyone who is not you without explicit permission - some people might prefer to be discovered more organically, or not at all.

Earth Science on Mastodon

This is a list of Earth scientists and Earth science enthusiasts active on Mastodon. If you wish to add yourself to the list, please use the form below. This list is open to anyone who works in the geosciences (universities, industry, museums etc.) or enthusiasts who post a lot about earth science. This list is opt-in, so please sign only yourself up unless you have explicit permission from someone else to do so. The Google Sheet showing all responses can be found here For corrections/deletions please contact Chris Rowan (@[email protected])

Google Docs

If you want to see the current list, it's here - there's also a link on the form.

Now a website that allows you to download a follow list (adapted from the work of much cleverer people than me):

@allochthonous I added myself because while I don't have an earth science degree (but have taken several courses) I'm an "earth science enthusiast" and I'm here to learn. I'm really a music teacher but translate for the museum at Sakurajima. Is that ok? Also not using my real name, because internet reasons. If you would prefer you can remove me from the list.
@SakuRainbow perfectly ok! You’re very welcome!
@allochthonous Thanks! I actually joined Birdsite™️ for the purpose of learning about earth science! I especially love people posting links to their papers. I've learned a lot just from listening in on scientists' discussions.
@allochthonous Or people may not want to be listed at one of the largest global surveillance operations. Many on Mastodon care about data privacy.
@allochthonous We have also set up two groups: @geodons and @paleodons for people to join!
@allochthonous Great idea. I think we are supposed to call this the Fediverse.

@allochthonous Can I suggest making a second sheet that has only the Mastodon handle, exporting this as csv makes all Earth scientists importable in one go:

mastodon.social/settings/import

@jesper I've taken a cue from some other science groupings for that: https://all-geo.org/mastodon-earthsci/

@allochthonous check out fedifinder and debirdify: they do essentially the same thing, which is to scan the twitter bio of your followers, followees, or listees for a mastodon ID, and then spit out a list of users that mastodon can import.
Nice, using the bio as standard.
@allochthonous thank you for putting this list together!
@allochthonous Earth Sciences welcome/encouraged at fltd.io- hoping to grow!
@allochthonous Thank you for putting this together :)
@allochthonous Fabulous idea and thanks for getting this up and running!
