Just published! Our paper explores how subduction processes are linked to kimberlite eruptions💎
We find that peaks in subduction flux predict pulses of kimberlite eruptions, reconciling African and North American kimberlite populations. @EarthByteGroup

New Review!
Considered using plate tectonic reconstructions in your research but not known where to start?
@SetonMaria @geoAlanC et al. explain how to use, & not abuse, plate reconstructions🌍

Great to see this interview with our colleague Dr Sara Polanco (@SaraMgeo) in Forbes highlighting her research using computer-game-like river modelling to understand river networks, which can help us better manage water resources in the future.

Come and study with us! Two fully funded scholarships in geology/geophysics for domestic or international students at @sydneyunigeo. Get in touch if you want more info. #phdfunding #geologyphd
📢 Apply now - two PhD scholarships in #geology at our School have opened (the mineralogy one is a legacy label, it's also in geology and no compulsion to do mineralogy research)

Great to see this amazing work led by @MullerDietmar out in the wild! This paper, just published in @Nature, tracks carbon through the Earth over 250 million years. Powered by #pyGPlates the 📽️ shows how much carbon is released from Earth's interior at ridges and trenches.

#RESP5001 - a good article on data sharing, as discussed in last week's lectures and tutorial.
Nature article featuring the need to rescue and preserve data. Great to see the work of Kerstin Lehnart and the #GeoRoc data platform mentioned. Here is the article: nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
