And its Day 6 of the Mull Geology Advent Calendar - easwards we go to the shore at Glengorm. Great views to Ardnamurchan, classic Mull Plateau lava landscape and lots of interesting minor intrusions, esp sills. Coastal scenery is ace. See Alt-text

#30DayMapChallenge #finalmap
Animation not working, will try and fix later!

Haven’t managed to post anything for this year’s #30DayMapChallenge, but just in time for the final day, here’s an animation of my time-averaged location, based on how long I’ve lived in the five different cities I’ve called home:

Edinburgh - 18.5 years
Liverpool - 4 years
Albuquerque, NM - 8 years
Lexington, VA - 3 years
Oxford, OH - 3 years
Edinburgh - 5 years

Excitingly for a geologist, I’ll cross back over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in 2032!

In a moment this cloud is going to open their eyes & be really embarrassed about how late they've slept in.

I just saw a post that referred to ChatGPT as "Mansplaining as a service", and it is so wonderfully correct - instant generation of superficially plausible yet totally fabricated nonsense presented with unflagging confidence, regardless of topic, without concern, regard, or even awareness of the expertise of its audience :D #chatgpt #mansplaining #GenerativeAiIsGoingGreat
Happy Exploding Whale Day! On this day, 54 years ago, Oregon State Highway Division decided to remove a stinking dead whale from the beach near Florence using a half ton of dynamite. Hilarity ensues.

#30DayMapChallenge 2024 Day 2: Lines
One of the best days of our Pacific Crest Trail hike was reaching the Three Sisters. We dropped our packs at a good place to camp and loaded up our fanny packs to hike to the summit of South Sister. We backracked on the PCT to the start of the official route. On the way down, we wanted to head straight back to camp, so we headed down the NW side and unintentionally glissaded about 800 meters down the Lost Creek Glacier. #PCT #Oregon #QGIS
