📣VRGS 3.1 Build 97 is out now, continuing our regular software updates and improvements🎉. This release sees the introduction of the new geobody builder tools! The Geopolygon tool in #VRGS enables you to map the outcrop expressions of geobodies, and now you can create 3D bodies from those outcrop expressions. 😀 Try the latest version of VRGS with a 30-day trial at https://lnkd.in/euBJ8qcU #geology #geoscience

This month’s most-read #GSABulletin article is “What’s in an age? Calculation and interpretation of ages and durations from U-Pb zircon geochronology of igneous rocks,” by Benjamin Z. Klein and Michael P. Eddy, https://lnkd.in/gCRAyPXA. From the abstract: “Accurate assessment of the duration of zircon crystallization within igneous rocks is critical for constraining the time scales of magmatic evolution and storage, which have important implications for our understanding of magmatic fluxes and volcanic hazards.” #Geochronology #Geoscience #Geology #GSAPubs @Purdue Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences Image: Figure 1 from the article.

#didyouknow Australia is indeed moving north at about 7 centimeters (2.8 inches) per year. This movement is due to the tectonic activity of the Earth's plates. The Australian Plate is drifting northwards, which makes it the fastest-moving continental landmass. This shift is a fascinating aspect of plate tectonics and helps us understand the dynamic nature of our planet. https://lnkd.in/fzpnPPW #TectonicPlates #WorldsFastestContinent #EarthScience #PlateTectonics #GeologyFacts #TectonicActivity #EarthMovement #ContinentalDrift  #GPS #GeologicalStudy #EarthScienceFacts #Tectonics #EarthDynamics #TectonicShifts #GeologicalEvents #PlateMovements #TectonicActivity #GeographyFacts

Exploring the February 6, 2023 Earthquakes: A Comprehensive Study Unraveling Their Source Mechanics   On February 6, 2023, southeast Turkey was struck by two major earthquakes with magnitudes Mw 7.8 and Mw 7.7. Our comprehensive study, conducted by Profs. Altunel, Pınar, Erdik and Akkar, provides an in-depth analysis of their causes and consequences, offering insights on the rupture mechanics of these events.   🔍 Key Findings: The Mw 7.8 quake increased the surcharge stress that contributed to the Mw 7.7 quake, demonstrating complex fault dynamics. The role and kinematic interaction of the East Anatolian Fault Zone to understanding the occurrence of these events.   Check out the full report for an in-depth look at earthquakes' faults, mechanisms, and historical context. 🔗Read the full study here: https://lnkd.in/dSAF9d5Y    #SeismicStudy #EarthquakeResearch #Geology #Seismology #EastAnatolianFault

Fascinating research shows the earth may have had debris rings of broken asteroids like Saturn, around 460 Million years ago in the Ordovician. Researchers at Monash University recently published the evidence in Earth and Planetary Science Letters. With numerous craters dated from the same time, all reconstructed to lie around the equator at that time. The link to the original paper from Tomkins et al (2024) and article in the Conversation is in the comments. #geology #planetarygeology #geosciences #earthscience

A study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison reveals that the Moon drifts away from Earth at approximately 3.8 cm per year. This gradual recession could mean Earth’s days might stretch to 25 hours over the next 200 million years. The research highlights the impact of gravitational interactions between Earth and the Moon, which causes Earth's rotation to slow down as the Moon moves further away. This phenomenon offers new insights into ancient Earth-Moon dynamics and long-term geologic processes #MoonRecession #EarthDays #GravitationalScience #Astrochronology #Geology #SpaceScience #LunarDynamics #EarthRotation #FutureEarth #MoonMigration
