Speaking of Manhattan for #EarthScienceWeek#outcrops in Central Park, NYC. Backdrop for movies like Elf, Enchanted, Home Alone 2 and a picnic spot for the doomed Amy and Rory who knew all about the geological timescale (#DoctorWho S7E5 'The Angels Take Manhattan'). 1/4

Today’s #EarthScienceWeek#outcrop is being made in real time at the far end of the timescale from Acasta. On the Big Island of Hawai’i, the Pu’u‘O’o vent on Kilauea produces a lava flow that reaches the southern coast in a spectacular fashion that only 900ºC lava meeting sea water can. 1/5

Nothing says ‘Earth Science’ like a good outcrop, so to mark #EarthScienceWeek ⚒️🧪 (13-19 Oct) let’s explore ‘Earth Science Everywhere’ with daily outcrops. We’ll visit famous outcrops, some personal favourites and learn of outcrops in big stories about the environment and how the Earth works. 1/6

A banner with the text ‘Earth Science Week 13-19 October 2024’ and several icons. Icons include stylistic pictures of the moon, snow-capped mountains, clouds, trees, a satellite, Australia, crystals and a brontosaurus-like dinosaur.

Had a great day celebrating #EarthScienceWeek@dralkatrip.bsky.social! Today is National Fossil Day, so we went and collected Miocene shark teeth along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.
