Weiß irgendwer, was dran ist, dass im südlichen Berlin gerade eine Löwin freilaufen soll? Nachricht kam über die offizielle NINA Warnapp.

@ScientistRebellion When scientists start talking about civil disobedience you know that shit is way beyond hitting the fan.

1. Are you at @EuroGeosciences's #EGU23 this week? Do not miss tomorrow’s townhall meetings at 7pm on 1️⃣ Science and climate activism & 2️⃣ Climate change communication, with geoscientists active in Scientist Rebellion in both panels.
PS: Did you already spot one of our posters?

Three posters on a board. One showing a graph of CO2 emissions increasing over time, coloured by temperature going from blue to red as the CO2 increases. On the timeline are various climate meetings. The graph illustrates that these meetings have failed to stop emissions rising. The next is about governments and companies being aware of the awful impacts of increasing temperatures but not planning to change the emissions trajectory. The third poster is advertising a session on civil disobedience.

Did you ever think about the predictive quality of a geomechanical model?

Yes! Then you might be interested in my talk on Uncertainties in geomechanical models in #egu23 session ERE3.3 (12:20 in room G3)

No. You should have! For a brief introduction visit
my talk on Uncertainties in geomechanical models in #egu23 session ERE3.3 (12:20 in room G3)

I'll be talking about the importance of a robust knowledge of the initial stress state, ways to quantify and reduce the uncertainties.

One of the big concerns for many people attending a scientific conference is the carbon footprint. At we have come up with 5 ways you can help us have a - from joining virtually, to choosing public transport & beyond!

The EarthArXiv #preprint service now has a Mastodon presence: @eartharxiv It's an automated bot tooting every newly accepted #EarthScience paper. Author supplied keywords are converted into hashtags so following things like #Geology will get you subdomain specific papers. #openScience

The bot is a work in progress. Feel free to send me ideas for improvement.

Aber ich bin ja nur ein Sidekick.“ Marc-Uwe: „Du bist kein Sidekick, du bist der Star meiner Geschichten.“ Känguru: „Das stimmt, aber ohne dich wäre ich nur ein springendes Tier."

Dann solltest du mal meine Steuerformulare sehen!“ Marc-Uwe: „Oh, ich habe vergessen, dass ich dich als mein Maskottchen registriert habe, um Steuervorteile zu bekommen.“ Känguru: „Hey, ich bin ein vollwertiges Wesen kein Steuersparmodell.“ Marc-Uwe: „Entschuldige, du bist viel mehr als nur ein Charakter.“ Känguru: „Entschuldige, dass ich mich aufgeregt habe.“

Remember tomorrows deadline for EGU abstract submission! It's 13:00 CEST. No late night submissions possible.
On the same note I want to remind you to submit your #geomechanics abstracts to our session TS 1.2. Geomechanics – Understanding, modelling and remaining uncertainties meetingorganizer.copernicus.or

Are you in #Geomechanics and planning to go to @EuroGeosciences '23 in Vienna? Consider submitting an abstract to our session. @Mojtaba & Karsten Reiter

TS1.2 Geomechanics - Understanding, modelling and remaining uncertainties Convener: Moritz Ziegler
Co-conveners: Mojtaba Rajabi, Karsten Reiter

The safe and sustainable usage of the subsurface requires a detailed understanding of properties and behaviour. In particular, knowledge of geomechanics is critical for exploration and production of geothermal energy, groundwater, hydrocarbon, and mineral resources. Geomechanics play the central role in intermittent energy storage (e.g. natural gas and H2) and long-term disposal of nuclear or toxic waste and technologies for negative emission of CO2 (e.g. CCS). The main goal of this session is to bring together researchers from various engineering and geo-disciplines which are affected by geomechanics. We want to share knowledge in recent advancements in experimental, numerical, theoretical and field application of geomechanics. A particular focus is on the large uncertainties (e.g. material properties, structures, calibration data or modelling approach) that are often associated with geomechanics and how these affect the results. Highly appreciated are presentations about new methods and on strategies to reduce the uncertainties.

Did you ever think that the #geomechanical stress field and magnitudes beneath our feet are pretty well known? Did you think that numerical models of said stress field are pretty accurate? (SPOILER ALERT: They're not!) So why do we bother with models anyway?
We recently published a method on how to improve a stress field models significance. We're using a wide range of possible stress states, additional constraints on the stress state an a Bayesian weighting. Details: doi.org/10.1029/2022JB024855

After a pause due to the holiday and moving disruption, I’ve updated the list of Earth Science folks on Mastodon - anyone who has submitted their details in the past couple of weeks should now show up.

all-geo.org/mastodon-earthsci/

We’re up to 320+ names - I’m wondering if I need to add some organisation/filtering to make it manageable.
