I had the privilege of collaborating on this project ~3 weeks into my PhD! It was such a cool experience working with the youngest (at the time) rocks on earth!!

Why do mantle petrologists only eat uncrustables instead of regular PB&J sandwhichesq? They’re not interested in the crust…

Last call to add your voice to this presentation by Wed Oct 11, so we can pull the contributions together in time for GSA! If you will be at the conference, start your Tuesday off with us at 8:35 am (I know it's early - please don't make me give this talk to an empty room lol)

We use this diagram extensively in my geochemistry class. This suggests that the absence of noodles puts us on the water --> broth --> salad binary, depending on how much vegetation is present in the aquarium?

Hi everyone! I finally made the switch over to this site. My name is Alex (he/him) and I am Earth and Planetary Science PhD student in the VIBE lab at UC Berkeley. I am primarily a volcanologist / igneous petrologist that also dabbles in geochemistry and isotopes.
