A company presold $200k worth of carbon removal credits for an unproven tech, then tried to bully New Zealand into gutting environmental laws to bypass safety checks. Officials found zero evidence their "ocean fertilization" method works or is safe. 🌊

If you want a new twist on the all-time Italian classic #cacioepepe, toss in some diced pears and make #cacioepere ! :-) It is as amazing as it is surprising and you should give it a try! :-) #pasta #recipes

Today, August the 8th, was International Cat Day! As you can see, it didn't really affect Tigrou or Choupi in their daily routine but you might still want to give them a little like. I'll let them know and I'm sure they'll be grateful. ^^ Happy #caturday ! :-)

Time Traveler Causes of Death xkcd.com/2976/

A modified XKCD comic titled "TOP CAUSES OF DEATH FOR TIME TRAVELERS BY GEOLOGIC ERA:" features a tall, vertical rectangle representing Earth's timeline from its formation down to the present day. Along the left axis, tick marks indicate time intervals from "EARTH FORMS" at the top down through "4 BILLION YEARS AGO," "3 BILLION YEARS AGO," "2 BILLION YEARS AGO," "1 BILLION YEARS AGO," "500 MILLION YEARS AGO," and ending at "NOW" at the bottom. The vertical column is divided into stacked sections labeling the leading cause of death for each period: beginning at the top with "LAVA," followed by a section for "ASPHYXIATION," a thin band for "METEORS," a large section for "ASPHYXIATION," an even larger block spanning roughly 2.2 billion to 700 million years ago labeled "SLIGHTLY SLOWER ASPHYXIATION," and then smaller bands near the bottom labeled "FREEZING," "STARVING," "EATEN BY FISH," "TRAMPLED," and "EATEN BY MAMMALS." Next to the very bottom sliver representing the present day, an arrow points to the text "HIT BY SUV."

Tigrou the tabby cat is sprawled comfortably on the floor, staring up with huge green eyes as if wondering why no one posted his weekly #Caturday photo. Equal parts confused, adorable, and impossible to ignore.

Because yesterday was the 300th anniversary of James Hutton, the father of modern #geology, here are pictures of Siccar Point I took a few years ago. #JamesHutton #GeologyRocks #DeepTime #EarthScience #Devonian #Silurian

A close-up, eye-level shot of Hutton's Unconformity at the rocky coastline. It shows a dramatic boundary where layered, horizontal reddish-brown sandstone blocks rest directly on top of sharply pointed, vertically oriented grey rock layers. The shadow of a hand making a circular shape is cast on the lower right rock face.

An outdoor educational information panel titled "SICCAR POINT" with a portrait of James Hutton, diagrams explaining how the unconformity formed, and text. In the blurry background, two people stand on a grassy cliff looking out over a deep blue sea under a partly cloudy sky.

A wide-angle landscape view looking across a coastal bay in Scotland. A steep, grassy cliffside features distinct, steeply dipping layers of vibrant red sedimentary rock dropping down to a wide, flat rocky shore exposed at low tide under a cloudy sky.

A high-angle view looking down a steep, vibrant green grassy slope toward the ocean. Jagged, light-grey vertical rock strata break through the soil and grass, running down toward a rocky shoreline where waves crash against the base.

Hello old friend! :-) I always loved this dinosaur guarding the entrance to Brussels Natural History Museum. I had a wonderful time there on Thursday, getting the chance to present my work and meet fellow coastal research enthusiasts! :-) Do you have a favorite museum or science related mascot?

This is a photograph of a wooden stylized statue of a dinosaur at the entrance of a a museum. The status is about 5 m tall and is just outside the entrance. The dinosaur looks a bit like an hybrid between a T rex and another sauropod with a lighter frame and somewhat larger arms.

In a never ending effort to improve my teaching material and find any excuse to share pictures of my cats, what do you think of the following analogy: my cats are stable isotopes! :-)

Both my cat (Choupi on the left and Tigrou on the right) on the top and a shelf looking the camera. Both of them are on their flank and relaxed. They both have grey fur with darker stripes. Tirgou is a bit darker with green eyes and is a little chubbier (he would be the heavy isotope of the two) and Choupi has yellow eyes and lighter fur, especially on the belly, and has an athletic build looking a bit like a savannah cat.
