"Geology is 90% vocabulary" feels like such a poor description of such a large, important topic, but it feels like it would solve so much if people just... had the words to describe the world.

It's so unfair to everyone that the majority of the population's understanding of the world stops at "tectonic plates", "ring of fire", and "rock cycle". It's so unfair.

Everyone deserves to go on a hike, and when the rock changes colors, wonder "what is that?" and be able to answer the question themselves. Everyone deserves to be able to fulfill their curiosity and it is such a disservice that they cannot.

#I saw a reddit post of someone asking why the rock was flaking that way and it /hurt/ that they had to go to reddit to learn the word shale.#And that there are maps that will tell them the rock type wherever they go! It's such a joy they know now! And they were so happy when ppl #told them! But so sad they didn't know.#geology #This is also the struggle talking to non-geologists because they ask something like 'why is the hill shaped like that?' and you can't say #'graben'. You have to translate the lingo into the rock's previous physical movement - but in words.

2024 reads / storygraph

Bitterthorn

gothic fairytale

set in an imaginary German town where every generation, the monstrous witch in the woods steals someone away to be her companion, never seen again

follows the daughter of the duke, lonely and grieving her mother, who offers herself up as the witch’s newest companion

she assumes she’s destined for something horrible, but is mostly left alone in the old castle, and tries to find out more about the mysterious witch & what happened to the previous companions

eerie and atmospheric

#bitterthorn #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #kat dunn #I liked this a lot! some nice atmospheric writing.#I liked the MC’s interest in geology and ecology! Though maybe that could have been expanded upon. (flirting via rocks tho? cute)#The fairytale influences are done in an interesting way #and of course I love weird [spoiler] stuff #i feel like. it could have been set in a fantasy world rather than the real world because the #handful of mentions of real world events were like. either go into more detail about this or just don’t mention it lol #not perfect but i enjoyed it

More beauty from Donegal with golden sidelighting on the Atlantic cliffs of Sliabh Liag, or Slieve League.

I will be making a return to the area soon.

The Beast of Magma, with its augite crystal claws and teeth, is always trying to find a way to the surface. Another beastie for my geology monsters project! This creature is based on eruptible magma, I may make another of more 'dormant' magma that's kinda just hanging out in the subsurface, we'll see! Painted with acrylic inks.

#volcano monster #magma #lava #geology #avanii #avanii's art #this one gave me way more trouble than the other ones #probably because it's pretty much all glowing reds and yellows #it was also tricky to make it look like something nobody has ever seen (since magma is by definition always underground)#so it needed to not be exactly like my other lava beasts #but also not look like wildfire or sth #I hope that worked out haha #fun fact I painted the Magmar piece with the excess inks I had mixed for this painting #traditional art

Micaceous Marble? Calcareous Schist? Sometimes metamorphic rocks aren't so cut-and-dry.

#but for realsies #if anyone knows a consistent way to class metamorphic rocks with mixed lithologies pls point me to a source #im dying out here #in which cube is a geologist #metamorphic #geology

Lt. Commander Killian: So what was your name again?

Nevularxi: I have not already told you. I’m afraid my name may not translate into your language.

Lt. Commander Killian: Oh yeah?

Nevularxi: I am named for a period of time on my home planet that surrounds the immediate aftermath of the second yearly equinox of our planet’s solar star. It’s the period following our fertile rainy season, and marked the beginning of the harvest in years of antiquity, as well as the coming of the colder, darker season which our species typically spends in isolation or hibernation. The period is considered to be a time of great liminality and spiritual importance in our ancient religions, although since the dawn of the modern technological age it has lost some of its transient meaning.

Lt. Commander Killian: …Okay, but i meant more like. how do I say your name.

Nevularxi: Oh, it’s nev-you-LARK-zee.

Lt. Commander Killian: Gotcha. by the way, your name in english is October.

#oc #humans are space orcs #these are original characters of mine btw #Killian Weir is a human scientist whose dad got them a high ranking official job through nepotism #and they’re very out of their depth since all of their credentials are academic and not in leadership #so they’re overqualified for the scientific and technological aspect of their job. and vastly under qualified for every other part of it #Nev is an alien who had to fight tooth and nail to claw her way up through the ranks. so she resents Killian a bit #but later in their story arc they fall in love and go against the hypercapitalist intergalactic regime together #so it’s ok #i don’t have a design for Nev quite yet #i know i want her to be blues and purples mostly #but i want there to be a little bit of a speculative biology aspect to her design #so i have to do some worldbuilding first before i settle on anything #i just know that i want her to be bipedal but with 4 arms #and i’m also imagining her with a bob haircut. whether it’s gonna be hair or feathers or something else remains to be seen #Killian is like. 6’3 ish red haired irish american. built like a jock sort of but unfortunately lacking the swag to be sexy #They’re a xenogeologist btw. <3 i love geology

out of curiosity and inspired by a talk i had with my bf. what would be the subject you'd want to get a degree in/study seriously the LEAST.

Assume that for all of these, you'd actually have decent classes and professors etc. and admission, location, future income and things like that would not be an issue, it's just about interests and talent. But you would have to try and get decent grades or at least pass and possibly do something with that degree afterwards.

(I can't possibly add EVERY kind of subject obviously so sorry if i missed an obvious one or grouped them in weird ways)

#theres too many disciplines. like where do i even put stuff like geology.#biology and chemistry and physics all have completely different vibes too but i had to put them into one category #also i think they names they have and how degrees work etc are very different in the US? hope this still makes sense somehow #txt #oh yea personally I'd never be able to do economics. id be bad at a lot of natural sciences but those are way more interesting still #technically im even less likely to do a sports degree or whatever its called in english but i did not add that option

How much outdoor experience did you have BEFORE choosing Geoscience as a major? Poll Results and Analysis

Despite total response at 67 people, I think the curve is very interesting. Traveling and being outdoors does seem to be a reason people choose geology.

If I could run the poll again with a larger sample size, I would include Year of Graduation (if possible), to see if there are changing trends over time, and also a Rural Travel/Rural Non-Travel to see if there are specific trends within Rural community responders.

-=- Discussion -=-

Geoscience programs show declining enrollment across the world and many smaller programs have closed due to that lack of enrollment.

I argue from the poll results that this trend might reflect larger cultural trends. The people who choose geoscience are driven by curiosity in the differences of the world around them. Exposure to those differences is enhanced by Travel, second only to the outdoors being readily available in rural areas.

Yet in America at least, travel is often cost-prohibitive except to Middle Class to Upper-Middle Class families. I propose that the decline of geoscience as a major might be connected to a decline in outdoor exposure, whether than be in time available to go hiking, outdoor access, travel being cost-prohibitive, school field trip funding, or suburban areas.

-=- Description of Options Given -=-

Not a lot (grew up in the suburbs/city; no hiking)

Urban Exposure (grew up in the suburbs/city; outdoors a lot)

Travel Exposure (grew up in the suburbs/city; traveled and was outdoors a lot)

Rural Exposure (grew up in a smaller city/town; outdoors a lot)

Familial Exposure (urban or rural community; family member was in geosci)

Familial and Natural Exposure (Lots of outdoor experience with family member in geosci)

#science #geoscience #geology #the tumblr poll is still open for a few more days #But it's not getting any more responses so I figured I'd compile it with my uni poll. Anecdotally I wish more people responded #because I keep hearing more people got into it through familial connections but that doesn't always reflect in my circles.#I think that's a two way street on this poll and it's the reason I created this. If the only people are getting into geology are the ones #who have the money to travel and our Middle Class is dying; well you're going to have less geosci students.#This is not a paper either lmao. This is a quick ass poll I did in two locations because I was curious after a conference.#NOT SCIENTIFICALLY RIGOROUS TAKE WITH GRAIN OF SALT.

Fluorite from the Milky Way Pocket of the Diana Maria Mine in Weardale, England

This fluorite is daylight fluorescent, meaning it changes color in the sun! The part that looks blue in this picture is actually a deep green in indoor lighting.

it’s cool how a giant glowing rock can shine so bright all the way out there that it lights up the darkness for us down here
