The law of straightness
[By Chris Pearce] In my previous post, ‘A geochemistry ditty’, I penned what is possibly the geekiest poem you will ever come across. I was therefore pleasantly surprised when several people got in touch to say how much they appreciated my artistic license, as they could associate with much of what I’ve been through. This got me thinking… Read more

In my undergraduate thesis I studied ‘proper ROCKS!’… Read more

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly took place in Vienna, Austria this year from April 7-12. The beautiful blue Danube River starts in the Black Forest, which is near our current home… Read more
On Field Classes
[By Andy Bray] Having just got back from a field class, I’m at a loss of what do. The rush of returning to the office on Friday afternoon to crack out a Goldschmidt abstract, combined with the fatigue acquired from a week teaching outdoors has led to a slow start to this Saturday. While I’m waiting for the post field trip clothes wash… Read more
