The Galera Fault has shaken the landscape—and maybe even ancient civilizations—with major quakes over the past 14,000 years. Could these seismic events have contributed to the end of the Bronze Age settlements? Read more: egu.eu/5QDC35 #Earthquakes #Seismology

Do you teach geoscience subjects in #HigherEducation? Check out our teaching resources, developed by members via our higher education teaching grants! Today we take a we take a look at our Laboratory sandbox modeling for basin development teaching package: The purpose of this teaching resource is to assist geoscience students in enhancing their understanding of geological processes through interactive exercises and instructional materials, including films and guides related to sandbox modeling. Target audience: undergraduate and graduate students. This project produced 10 short (approx. 1,5 min) videos of different tectonic/geological settings demonstrated as sandbox experiments. The sandbox experiments show, among others, the extensional geological setting with/without a rigid basement, the compressional forces exerted on basin inversion geological settings, structural deformation at the subduction zone (tilted and non-tilted), compressional deformation of the fold-thrust belt. The preparation of these videos included robust research on the experiment parameters and materials to be used. Overall, the recorded videos and descriptions provided along with each of the videos are beneficial to all practitioner in geoscience field, particularly undergraduate students learning about structural geology, basin formation and geodynamic. The videos can be found at https://lnkd.in/dfA3r5jE Do you teach geoscience subjects in hashtag #HigherEducation?
