  1. @History_of_Geology very fascinating aspect of the #lunar #Apollo17 mission to have found indications of early #volcanic #activities in form of glass remnants.

  2. #30DayMapChallenge : #Fire

    The #Volcanic Isles . A brief history of volcanism across The British Isles.

    Quite pleased with how this one turned out.

    Location of volcanoes taken from wikipedia (spotted a mistake and got to make an edit to wikipedia in the process); fault lines from the #BGS 625k bedrock dataset and the IE GSI 500k Bedrock Geology for Ireland. Font: League-Spartan by the League of Moveable Type.

    #requests, #pandas and #geopandas for scraping and wrangling.#scipy for making the proximity surface (that's the colour scheme), #matplotlib for plotting. With all labeling done manually in #inkscape.

    EDIT: I've been kindly and helpfully informed that (a) Ben Nevis' age is closer to 399 Ma; (b) some are missing; (c) others perhaps shouldn't be there; (d) it's complicated. So, maybe don't use this map to make any strategic decisions.

  3. The study indicates that ash from the #Nishinoshima #eruptions was transported by wind and #ocean currents to the waters around #Mukojima, serving as a nutrient source for #phytoplankton growth in that area.
    The findings suggest that volcanic ash can enhance the productivity of #marine waters even at considerable distances from the #volcanic site.
