Happy World #Biofuels Day🌱!

A geoscience reality check: biofuels can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, but producing them can also affect land, soil and water.

🔑The key is to use biofuels wisely while protecting natural carbon stores.

“Look at that sky—light blue sky—and the reddish hue! It’s a very exciting thing to see, this distinct reddish coloration to the surface. These are subtle hues. It’s a geological scene, a natural scene...” said Dr. Thomas A. Mutch of Brown University, a geologist and leader of the picture‐making team.
As we mark the 50th anniversary of the time humanity saw a photograph from Mars through the lens of Viking 1, read this reflection by Asmae Ourkiya in our latest #GeoLog.

Ever wondered what's really happening beneath your feet🌍?

This #GeoLog post highlights the new 2025 World Stress Map - over 100,000 records showing that crustal stress isn't just driven by plate tectonics, but is often overridden by local factors such as rock stiffness and topography.

🌱 International Day for Mangrove Conservation!🌱

Can mangroves survive another strong EL Niño?

This #GeoLog shares some good news: after decades of decline, #mangroves are growing back in parts of the world, thanks to restoration and natural regrowth. But it's not all good news - places like the Niger Delta are still losing mangroves fast, and a strong EL Niño this year could put even the recovering areas at risk⚠️.

Cheddar man is accepted to have been part of a group of humans that likely had been living in the area for 10s of thousands of years as opposed to walking there from Africa.

But regardless of his journey, he would have been living on continents that were not configured different from what we see today because the continents only move inches per year. To get extreme differences you need 10s of millions of years or…
