@BashStKid hello! No, I don't do any fieldwork as part of my PhD, though I went to some cool places in undergrad! One of the selling points of my project is that I use a massive global dataset, and so there isn't an obvious field location. All the data is publicly accessible online so I just use that!

What kind of things did you do with moment tensors?

👋 @bmatb, happy #LGBTSTEMday! I'm Rebecca and I'm a queer PhD student at Oxford doing research on earthquake mechanics.

I get lots of joy from building queer community (and if like today community involves lots of snacks and ice cream, then even better!)

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])

Since it's #LGBTQinSTEM Day, I thought it was time for an #introduction!

I'm a PhD student at Oxford where I study #earthquake mechanics, particularly an idea called determinism: do big and small earthquakes start the same, and does this mean we can determine magnitude before an earthquake rupture is over?

I'm a member of the #QueerInSTEM and #DisabledInSTEM communities and am passionate about EEDI work, including co-running my department's LGBTQIA+ group (today we're going for ice-cream! 🍦)
