And last but not least for day 7 of #7daysoffieldwork , my most stolen photo! Even Guinness World Records stole this photo! 🤑🤑🤑
The pillow basalts of the #OmanOphiolite are a site to behold! I have gained a new appreciation for the complexity of the o… ift.tt/2Sa46YL
Day 3 in #7daysoffieldwork . These pictures are from several field seasons during my PhD in northern Norway (Troms and Finnmark), looking at metamorphism and deformation in the Caledonian Nappes and their implications for large-scale tectonics.
#7DaysOfFieldwork Day 6: Spanish Pyrenees
One of the best things about studying geology is that it takes you to parts of the world you wouldn't get to see otherwise 🌍
I spent 10 days mapping these magnificent mountains back in 2017, and I've been keen to return ever since 🏔🧭
#7daysOfFieldwork Day 7: I love all the cool animals we see during fieldwork! Palau is a truly special place with such diverse marine life that you can’t not take any pictures 📸
#7daysoffieldwork Day 6: Last year I out planted the first #corals for my #PhD research in #Palau ! Here you can see me showing off one of our #Goniastrea retiformis #juveniles 📸Photos by @tillroethig 🙏 Coralassist Lab Ecology Group, Newcastle University 7 Days Of Fieldwork
#7DaysOfFieldwork Day 5
Throwing it wayyy back, my first UG field trip to a pegmatite mine in Mineral, VA for Mineralogy. We traveled >60 ft underground to find the walls covered in amazonites, micas, quartZ, and many more! This was the first time I truly felt like a geologist
#7DaysOfFieldwork Day 7: Sicily
In April 2019 I was lucky enough to visit Sicily! Here I got the chance to study lots of lava flows, volcanic deposits + associated hazards, as well as a fascinating tour of the INGV to see how Mt. Etna is monitored (thanks Boris Behncke!) 🌋🥾

Day 1...This is great! The most recent fieldwork I did in #Tanzania at #OlduvaiGorge .
It was a very warm afternoon...while archeologist had their lunch break I could finally sample the archeological site. Institute of Evolution in Africa #geochemistry Stable Isotopes
The only good thing about -40C days is that there are no bugs
Day 4 of #7daysoffieldwork
#7DaysOfFieldwork Day 5: #Chile #Patagonia . Started with a #FieldworkFail : airline lost my luggage, so had to buy warm clothing to survive! Still spent an amazing week observing #pumas & learning abt animal individuality. And just how cold I’m willing to get to study wildlife 🥶
Day 7 of #7DaysOfFieldwork is dedicated to all the geolidays I drag Tom on 😁
He's learning too! He can recognise faults, folds, veins and dykes, and he now know's not to be fooled when I show him some pyrite 😂
For DAY 7 of #7DaysOfFieldwork it’s not real fieldwork, but photos taken during holidays (here Canberra 🇦🇺, Punakaiki 🇳🇿, San Francisco 🇺🇸 and Grenoble 🇫🇷), because if you see a cool outcrop, why not to check what it is?
#7daysoffieldwork ! Our '܄܄܄܄ 💙 . ܁ EIoṉ Musⱪ did his masters project on the drained dyke exposed in the side of #RedCrater , New Zealand 🇳🇿 at University of Canterbury. Paper—> link.springer.com/article/10.100… photo: P. Schwager. #MtDoom #Mordor

5 : Mt Tarawera, NZ 🚁
Seismic station maintenance🛠️
10 June 1886, a 17 km long fissure was blasted across the top of the volcano, destroying the famous Pink and White Terraces, killing >120, and plunging the area into darkness and lightning storms
Tremble!👇
Day 4 of #7DaysOfFieldwork :
The tiny volcanologist forages for mafic enclaves in the vast, rocky wilderness of Chaos Crags.
Can you find me?

For my final #7DaysOfFieldwork I would like to thank one of my first field assistants. Back then he was my boyfriend of 6 years, but now he's my husband. Today is 2 years from the day he got down on one knee on some a'a and proposed to me IN A VOLCANO (Haleakala crater, Hawaii)!
Day 6 of #7DaysOfFieldwork , on a coastline far, far away... It's not just that it's unfeasibly pretty, Pembrokeshire really is a fantastic place to be tasked with wandering along the seaside each day. It's also always sunny (*lie*).
Last day of #7DaysOfFieldwork - exploring the stunning glacial valleys of Mount Cook and the Hooker and Tasman Glaciers, NZ 🇳🇿
Day 6 of #7DaysOfFieldwork is about hot rocks! Here at Kilauea in February 2018 we took the temperature of this basaltic lava to be 1100 degrees celcius! While that eruption had been ongoing since 1983, two months later everything would begin to change...
Day 4 of #7daysoffieldwork , eclogite-hunting in the Yukon with poor exposure, bears, lynx, and many squirrels and mosquitos. Armed with some old map coordinates we used a combination of helicopter, multiday hiking, and luck to look for the eclogites #womeninscience Prof. Christie Rowe
