Georneys: Blast from the Past: The Rock Cycle
http://georneys.blogspot.com/2011/06/blast-from-past-rock-cycle.html
Tuesday, June 7, 2011. Blast from the Past: The Rock Cycle. Rock Cycle drawing, circa 1993 or so. Click to view larger. I'm trying to finish up my packing today, so here's one last gem (for now) from the past: a poem that I wrote in third or fourth grade about the rock cycle. There is also an accompanying drawing (see above). Enjoy! Making rocks not the same. Where the rocks go. The bottom floor we know. These rocks now are. Fossils near and far. I hate to say goodbye. Goes on and on. Click to view larger.

Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Bad Geology Movie of the Month- Magma: Volcanic Disaster. Above photo (of DVD cover) taken from Amazon.com. I just realized that today is the last day of November and that I have yet to post my Bad Geology Movie of the Month! I cant let November pass by without a movie, so for this months movie Ive selected one of my all-time favorite Bad Geology movies- Magma: Volcanic Disaster. So, why do I call these movies bad geology movies rather than just geology movies? For the letter...

Georneys: December 2010
http://georneys.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. A Year of Travel and New Year's Resolutions. I am relatively new to the geoblogging scene, but several geobloggers- such as Callan Bentley over at Mountain Beltway. And Jessica Ball over at Magma Cum Laude. Have posted a summary of their year of travel. I love travel, so I think I will continue their year-end tradition here at Georneys. Thanks to other geobloggers for the idea! December 2009 - January 2010: South Africa and Oman. Posted by Evelyn Mervine. Before I started a geo...

Georneys: A Quick Note: Nuclear Dad Book is Coming!
http://georneys.blogspot.com/2011/07/quick-note-nuclear-dad-book-is-coming.html
Wednesday, July 6, 2011. A Quick Note: Nuclear Dad Book is Coming! Really, I swear. The book of interviews with my dad, a nuclear engineer, about the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster is coming. I know that I promised the book back in April. And then again in June. But this time it's coming for real. I'm trying to make the formatting pretty and everything. If you'd like to hear my dad give a four-month Fukushima update, post a comment below!

Georneys: Chondrite Town
http://georneys.blogspot.com/2011/06/chondrite-town.html
Thursday, June 30, 2011. The road to the chondritic uniform reservoir. Switzerland, June 2010. Last June I spent ten days in Switzerland and Italy exploring the geology of The Alps as part of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's annual Geodynamics Program. As we were driving one day on the trip, several geochemists in the group became very excited about the above sign. Apparently, the mysterious chondritic uniform reservoir (CHUR) is located in Switzerland! For those who are not familiar, chondrites.

Georneys: A Swiss Fold
http://georneys.blogspot.com/2011/07/swiss-fold.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Last week I blogged about the "Chondrite Town" of Chur. In Switzerland. As I was going through my pictures from Switzerland to find the Chur picture, I came across some photographs of a spectacular Swiss fold. Of course, I was reminded of my fellow geoblogger Callan Bentley. And his Friday Fold. If you like folds, Callan provides them a-plenty on Fridays. Gorgeous Swiss Fold. Switzerland, June 2010. Fold, with person in the foreground for scale. Switzerland, June 2010. Geologist...
