As I'm currently writing up the more in-depth analysis of the BGA geophysics education surveys I thought it would be good to share a version of the preliminary results in the Winter 2024 issue of the Geoscientist magazine (p 32) (a re-write of the A+G article) - thoughts/comments very welcome!

Frosty day of fieldwork, moving one of the CATERAN seismometers so the solar panel doesn't get hit by golf balls...

I want men in science to think about this. Think about the biases you have grown up with so much you're probably not even aware you have them. 🧪 #WomenInSTEM

Playing around with map making in python by plotting up the routes for the School of Geoscience Run Club!

For those interested in the tectonics: this earthquake occurred near the Mendocino triple junction where 2 strike slip transform faults and a subduction zone meet: the Cascadia subduction zone to the north, the San Andreas fault to the south and the Mendocino transform fault to the west 🧪⚒️

Shallow strike slip M7.0 earthquake off the coast of Northern California. Strong shaking was felt near Eureka. 🧪⚒️ earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

8 broadband and 10 nodes deployed across the Highland Boundary Fault in the last 4 days for the CATERAN deployment - not bad for a time of year when there's only 7hr 40mins between 🌅 and 🌄. Temperatures ranged from -4C to 12C! Massive thanks to @seismodave.bsky.social, Iona, Mark, Mike, and Andy!

Two deployed Certimus seismometers and my first ever node deployment - fieldwork in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is spooky in the fog - hares, deer, robin, red squirrel. Fun day helping @seismoamy.bsky.social, Karen & Alissa on their CATERAN project 🙂

And then to Aberdeen for the MSc Geophysics 10th anniversary celebrations!

First day in the field for the CATERAN seismometer deployment near Blairgowrie to image the Highland Boundary Fault!

Starting off the Earth Physics, Structure, and Processes course for the MSc Geophysics students with thinking about where in the Solar System they'd like to send a mission and why

Fun morning of geohazard outreach with P5 kids at a primary in Arbroath this week - kids built 'earthquake' resilient buildings out of spaghetti and marshmallows, tested the viscosity of different (kitchen cupboard) 'lavas', and thought about where to build houses to protect them from tsunamis
