I've been having some fun scanning full sections with polarizing sheets. The cross-polarized light scan of this folded serpentinite really brings out the gorgeous structures.
So, new instance, new introduction!
My name is Chris Rowan.
I am an Earth Scientist in the process of transitioning out of 10 years as a university professor and 20 years as a researcher. Still trying to work out what comes next, but whatever that is I will continue to think and talk about plate tectonics, earthquakes, and other cool geo-things.
Today, #TEKTONIKA #DOAJ has published its first paper ! ๐
20th to 21st Century Relative Sea and Land Level Changes in Northern #California - by J. Patton @earthjay et al.

Toot it, share it, read it FREE !
I haven't done this before, but I feel the time has come.
I am also a #Twitter refugee and, before that, someone that has grew tired of the tiktokization of social networks.
If you like #geology #science and #fieldwork I will use mastodon to post all my geoscience-related photos, fresh from the field and the microscope!
No big words or complicated descriptions, as I will use mastodon mostly to relax and take a breath.
Sorry for the long post, here's a free #rock !
