  12. #Ecuador 🇪🇨 was a hotspot of the #COVID19 pandemic in 2020, despite introducing contact restrictions early on. One issue: high mobility in the informal labor sector.

    Now virological evidence by researchers from #CharitéBerlin and Ecuador suggests that contact restrictions nevertheless reduced the spread of #SARSCoV2 to some degree.

  13. #Ecuador 🇪🇨 war 2020 ein Hotspot der #COVID19-Pandemie, obwohl es schon früh Kontaktbeschränkungen einführte. Ein Problem: Die hohe Mobilität im informellen Arbeitssektor.

    Die virologische Analyse eines Forschungsteams der #CharitéBerlin und aus Ecuador deutet jetzt darauf hin, dass die Kontaktbeschränkungen dennoch die Ausbreitung von #SARSCoV2 zu einem gewissen Grad gedämpft haben.

  17. Wilson Cycle Phase 3: Ocean Closing

    “I enjoy, and have always enjoyed, disturbing scientists.”

    ~ John Tuzo Wilson

    “From great oceans, giant mountains will form. This is the prediction of the third phase of the Wilson Cycle where we see the closure of the vast oceans like the Iapetus Ocean, and the formation of continent to continent collision mountains.”

    ~ Professor Dougal Jerrom, intro to Wilson Cycle Phase 3: Ocean Closing video linked below

    In the 24 minute video below (a great watch), we continue our travels with Professor Dougal Jerrom of Oslo University, to look at evidence of the closing of the former Iapetus Sea in the Caledonian of Norway. The video starts with a nice recap of the other videos.

    Whenever there is an ocean closure, geoscientists always look for ophiolite. Ophiolites in the geologic record provide evidence of subduction zone tectonics. We have already seen the pillow basalts, sheeted dikes (gabbros) and peridotites that form ocean crust in earlier videos in this series. An ophiolite is then a bit of oceanic crust that got swept up in the continental collisions and provides the first proof of an ocean closure.

    Next we learn about melange - the sediments that were scraped up during subduction, also known as an accretionary wedge. There are also remnants of the island arc formed during subdution all accreted between the bits of continental crustal blocks that eventually collided.

    Enjoy the video below where you see glimpses of the geology of the beautiful Norwegian Caledonian.

    Note: We will see the last steps of the Wilson Cycle, the continent to continent collision and the formation of giant mountain belts, and the great grand finale of this series. Stay tuned.

  18. Wilson Cycle Phase 2: Ocean Opening

    “…for times before the present oceans existed, we cannot do plate tectonics. Instead we must consider the life cycles of the ocean basins.”

    ~ John Tuzo Wilson

    In the 12 minute video below (a great and quick watch), “Wilson Cycle Phase 2: Ocean Opening”, we continue our travels with Professor Dougal Jerrom of Oslo University, to look at evidence of the former presence of oceanic crust.

    The first evidence we find is the presence of pillow basalts formed in the deep ocean. Pillow basalts are erupting magma that is quenched (hardened) by the ocean water. The scientists can tell that the ocean was deep because the pressure of the water allowed the gases to be released in solution (no vesicles in the basalt). Pillow basalts are the top layer of oceanic crust.

    Secondly we find evidence of a black smoker in a copper mine. The black smoker was created by hydrothermal activity, as evidenced by the presence of copper and other minerals, in the sheeted dikes, the second layer of oceanic crust.

    Includes Step 3 and 4 of the Wilson Cycle: c.im/@vickyveritas/10962360456...

    Note: We will see the other steps of the Wilson Cycle in this series. More to come!

  19. Wilson Cycle Phase 1: Rifting

    “These two mountain ranges are really one and the same – except that they are now separated by the Atlantic Ocean, which cut the range in two at a low angle when it opened between them. At one time the two belts had been joined, end-to-end, Caledonides in the north, Appalachians in the south…”

    ~ John Tuzo Wilson, “Did The Atlantic Close And Then Re-Open?” Nature, Vol. 211, No. 5050, August 13, 1966

    Rifting of the enormously long mountain chain ended up with parts in both North America (Appalachians) and Norway (Caledonides), among many other places. Geologist and Geophysicist John Tuzo Wilson reconstructed the multi-phased tectonics to trace the earlier proto-Atlantic Ocean that closed, and today’s Atlantic Ocean that opened through the processes that are named for him: The Wilson Cycles.

    In the video below, “Wilson Cycle Phase 1: Rifting”, we travel with Professor Dougal Jerrom of Oslo University, and researchers from the Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (CEED) who take us back 450 million years, and into what was once 90 kilometers deep in the Earth’s crust to the Caledonian rocks of Norway that tell us about the biggest cycle on Earth. Don’t miss the video which gives a voice to the rocks that record our dynamic Earth and the Wilson Cycle.

  20. Snowball Earth

    Through many posts we have talked about the Great Unconformity (yes, you must capitalize it) and how it occurs worldwide in different rock sections. Why? Scientists believe that at several times in Earth’s history the planet was buried in a blanket of ice. Oceans were nearly frozen. This is what scientists call Snowball Earth, or sometimes Slushball Earth.

    The last occurred sometime before 650 million years ago, during the aptly named Cryogenian period. In 200 million years, uplift and the giant erosive conveyor belts of ice eroded continents down to the roots of the ancient mountains and left the land at sea level. Think the Canadian Shield. This scraped bare land is the base of the Great Unconformity. As the glaciers melted, sea level rose and covered the land and deposition of sedimentary layers began. Variations of this happened worldwide. We can focus on the North American continent which looked much different at that time. Forget anything west of Idaho or so. It wasn’t there yet.

    Wyoming Geologist Myron Cook does a much better job than I could of explaining Snowball Earth, the Great Unconformity, and why different gaps, between hundreds of millions to billions of years of time, exist across what was North America at the time in his great video published only 11 days ago. Throw in a master-class in Deep Time, and you have it all put together as only a master story teller can. And there are lots of rocks, yay! Watch this wonderful video. Yes, it’s long, but you’ll absolutely hate yourself if you don’t get to see the Mineral Fork Tillite and how the story ends. Trust me.

    Follow it up with further findings on Snowball earth using thermochronology by Kalin T. McDannell, et. al. including our own @brenhinkeller as they work to help determine if glaciation or the recent hypotheses of tectonic influence had more impact on denudation of the continent. Spoiler alert: read the title of this post again.

  22. The super cool thing is that once you've segmented them, you can start to cluster them based on simply properties like area, circularity and solidity.

    You can automatically classify into resting (red) and activated (green) microglia! How cool is that?
