Reposted by Tyler HodderBrent Ward @geobrentatlarge.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Always good to keep in mind that it does not matter how the fire starts. Fires start all the time, but what really matters is the high heat and low humidity to dry out fuels causing the fire to spread rapidly. And these conditions are increasing every year with anthropogenic climate change. 053

Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 01/06/2026It’s always fascinating to find whole valves of marine specimens in till - a relatively common occurrence in the HBL. I’m sure this Macoma calcarea has had quite the ride. Glaciers are often perceived as these ‘grinding’ machines, but on a soft substrate this is less true. 041
