In a new paper in @geolsoc.bsky.social, I developed the first quantitative model of spreading asymmetry of a lost ocean, constrained using geological tie points. Jonny (@uarizona.bsky.social) also did a great review of modern plume-ridge interactions. Check it our here: doi.org/10.1144/jgs2...

Check out our article fresh out in @geosociety.bsky.social Special Paper 565! We reconcile geological and geophysical evidence for both flat slab Shatsky conjugate subduction & northward terrane translation in the western US at 90 Ma. Link to paper here: doi.org/10.1130/2025....

Map showing location of Shatsky Conjugate, North America and the Insular terrane from 90 to 85 Ma. Two cases for Insular's position are shown: one offshore, and one onshore but further north.

You may have heard of #Train2EGU, but what about #Train2AGU?! @alicerturner.bsky.social and I are taking the train from Austin, TX to Washington DC for @agu.org! Follow our climate-friendly and #SlowTravel journey here. Firstly, waving goodbye to #UTIG @utaustin.bsky.social 👋🏻

I had a great time @envleeds.bsky.social for the UK-SEDI meeting. Good to chat with the UK deep earth community about plate reconstructions!

Last week @eclennett.bsky.social and I went to Leander Public Library to chat about earthquakes and volcanoes with the book club program! We had lots of fun with a spring-block slider and some coke and mentos!

Alice stands next to a projector with children sitting on the floor in front of her.
