The use of theming in climbing experiences
Unlike standard climbing walls, artificial rock allows geological formations from real landscapes to be recreated.

If moving to another country were to become a long-term prospect due to the threat of war or because my home town is being taken over by other cultures, there would only be a few places in the world I’d want to move to. 😉

Within Germany, that would be islands like Borkum and Baltrum or somewhere on the coast; otherwise, in the mountains, perhaps relatively close to a river or stream. 😊

If I could, in terms of financial means and/or a job, I’d most likely move to Iceland. 😎

I like rugged landscapes with geological features and prefer cooler temperatures to warm or hot ones. 🤩

None of this is anything current or even up for discussion, just some thoughts on the subject that I wanted to get off my chest. 😜

Lewis Hunton: The Boy Who Read the Rocks

Stand on the site of the old Loftus Alum Works and you feel rather small. These 213-metre cliffs are not pretty. For centuries, workers burned shale and processed aluminium sulphate here, poisoning the ground so thoroughly that almost nothing grows. The place looks dead. It seems more of the remains of t ...

How does #phenotypic #diversity relate to #genomic #evolution over #geological time?
In this #openaccess research article, Yang et al. find that species diversification (SD) in the Fagales (which includes oaks, chestnuts, and walnuts) appears decoupled from both, highlighting the multidimensional nature of SD evolution.

We have these amazing karst canyons all over the island & on several surrounding gulf islands. Large karst networks of caves & canyons are found in Cowichan Valley, Comox Valley & all through the less populated North Island. Karst sites on Quadra Island & some islands in the Discovery Islands archipelago are being researched. Haida Gwaii has big karst formations network.

I find #geological #karst formations very fascinating. I enjoy exploring them when there's an opportunity to do so. I've found ancient old growth tree crystals in some of the karst formation forests here - they're magical, magnificent & hard to find if you're not looking hard in the right areas.

#Lepidolite is a lilac-gray/rose-colored member of the #mica group of #minerals . It's the most abundant #lithium bearing mineral & a secondary source of this metal. It's a major source of the alkali metal #rubidium too.
