Could the Miocene McDermitt caldera lake clay sediments host the largest known #lithium reserves in the world and what was the mechanism of Li-enrichment? Read the newly published paper by Benson et al. in @ScienceMagazine

Solar is set to attract more capital than global oil production in 2023 for the first time This reflects the major shift taking place in energy systems around the world. And it's another sign that clean energy is moving faster than many people think iea.li/3Pd828H

Methane is a #GreenhouseGas that greatly contributes to #GlobalWarming 🌎 Like other gases, methane has a cycle, meaning there are sources (natural and human-made) but also sinks (natural processes that remove the gas from the atmosphere) Learn more: atmosphere.copernicus.eu/ghg…

Encouraging forecast!
Renewable energy forecast to become largest source of electricity generation as soon as 2025. The expected capacity additions for wind and solar are absolutely massive with China leading the world on deployment. Graph by @FT based on @IEA data. ft.com/content/98cec49f-6682…

🌡️ Every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating hazards. This figure from #IPCC’s Synthesis Report shows the days per year where heat-humidity poses risks to human health at different levels of warming. Figure ➡️ bit.ly/SYRSPM3 ➡️ bit.ly/SRYRpt23

A "Golden Spike" for the Anthropocene?
Replying to @JCDAmos
The #Anthropocene Working Group wants to make #CrawfordLake a "golden spike" to mark the onset of a new geological epoch. More on @BBCNews at Ten with @BBCMorelle @alisonfrancis and @kc_camera

K what?
Why is the chemical symbol for potassium a "K"? What is Yttrium named after? In this blog, @EGU_GMPV division explores the history behind the naming conventions of elements used everyday in #geochemistry. Read more: egu.eu/9RZ5RV

Replying to @Shell
@Shell has published 'The Energy Security Scenarios' report where two scenarios of how the world might evolve in the light of security demands and climate change are presented. 1/3

Archipelagos is a pessimistic scenario with no net zero by 2050, while Sky 2050 assumes zero emissions by 2050 and explores the path to achieve it. Both scenarios foresee reduced shares of oil, gas, and coal by 2050. #energy #transition #climate #climatechange #crystalball 2/3

If you love river landforms as much as we do and because it's #meandermonday, check out the amazing work done by @geo_coe - flickr.com/photos/165735975@… It's hard to believe that these are not paintings or computer designs, but digital elevation models ...1/2

The first image of Saturn by the JWST 🪐😍
Wake up, babe. @NASAWebb dropped a new infrared image of Saturn. On June 25, the space telescope detected the planet’s faint moons and looked at its icy rings. Methane gas in Saturn’s atmosphere absorbs light, so it appears darker here. go.nasa.gov/3r97xD0

An updated chronostratigraphic chart is out! A new Golden Spike, this time for the Lannghian Stage in the Middle Miocene at 15.98 Ma. The spike is located at 17.84 m in the 'Lower La Vedova Beach' section (Ancona, Italy). Not a bad place to study outcrops, eh? photo by G. Sbacco
Delighted to see the 2023/06 ICS International Chronostratigraphic chart published. It now has a Golden Spike for the Langhian Stage in the Middle Miocene at 15.98 Ma. Nice job and great effort, Neogene subcommission! stratigraphy.org/chart #iugs #stratigraphy #ics

How much energy comes from oil&gas, and how much from renewables? What is the consumption of energy per country by source? What countries produce more “clean” energy? Are we really heading towards switching to green energy? 1/2
