Accretionary Wedge #21 – Deadline extended!
Posted by Jessica Ball
In recognition of the fact that I’m still “recovering” from GSA, and that quite a few geobloggers are probably doing the same thing, I’m going to extend the Accretionary Wedge deadline to Friday, October 30. (And yes, this does give me an excuse to throw some Halloween stuff in there…)
The original announcement can be found here – this month’s theme is Earth Science outreach. I noticed that a few people had posts up about Earth Science Week activities and the DonorsChoose campaign – those are great topics for this month’s Wedge!
Don’t forget to submit your entries in the comments here or on the original announcement (or by emailing them to me through magmacumlaude AT gmail.com
Jessica Ball is a volcanologist at the U.S. Geological Survey, researching volcanic hydrothermal systems and stability, and doing science communication for the California Volcano Observatory. She previously worked at the Geological Society of America's Washington DC Policy Office, learning about the intersection of Earth science and legislative affairs. Her Mendenhall postdoc and PhD focused on how water affects the stability of volcanoes, and involved both field investigations and numerical modeling applications. Her blogging covers a range of topics, from her experiences in academic geosciences to science outreach and communication to her field and lab work in volcanology.
It's kinda funny that GSA comes up with the most enlightened blogging rules ever, and then everyone is so busy doing all the normal conference things that no-one has time to post anything substantial…
Thanks for teh extension. You are my favorite TA.Here is my Accretionary Wedge post: http://geologyhappens.blogspot.com/2009/10/sharing-earth-science-with-next.html
