Fieldwork is where geoscience begins. 🌎⛰️
In Guatemala 🇬🇹, we’re studying exhumed subduction-zone metamorphic complexes + obducted ophiolite slivers—natural archives of deep Earth processes and critical resources 🪨🔍

🌎⛰️🪨 Great second day at #GSAConnects2025! Inspiring moments at the GSA International Division ceremony, strong UNC representation, and wonderful exchanges with our Cordilleran and Mexican colleagues. Science and community across borders! 🌍
Honored to have given two invited talks at #GSAConnects2025 — one on the exhumation of high-pressure rocks in the Andes, and another reporting on the Penrose 2025 Conference on Eclogites. Grateful for the discussions, colleagues, and energy of this amazing community! 🌎⛰️🪨
Excited to join #GSAConnects2025 with the @UNC_EMES team! EMES is proud to showcase research on subduction, orogens, climate, uplift, and more! Come find us, connect, and be part of the conversation! 🔥🗻

The 2025 GSA Penrose Conference wraps up tomorrow—but the science is just heating up.
From deep-time tectonics to world-class Franciscan eclogites, researchers are uncovering new insights & building global connections.
🔬 Recaps coming soon.

Franciscan at Tiburon Peninsula - Embracing a Brighter Future for Subduction Reserach with GSA Penrose 2025 / IEC-15 ⛰️🐍🌋🫨🪨
After two years in the making, we are heading to California 🍇 for this extraordinary meeting that we have been organizing. Approximately 100 subduction experts from around 20 countries will gather to shed light on our field and discuss the next steps. 🪨⛰️🌋🌎🫨
Very proud of my graduates, both award winners of our EMES research symposium and graduate excellence AY24-25 🎉🪨⚒️

So proud of our PTp graduate Anna Strickland, who is laser💥 GSZ metamorphic minerals at @UCSB LASS #AGeS_Grad @UNC_EMES
We are thrilled for our own Dr. Kennet Flores on winning an NSF CAREER award!
With this grant, he and his lab will continue working on fluid migration and fluid-rock interactions at subduction interfaces.
