- ⚒️Why do some slabs flatten at 660 km while others sink into the lower mantle? 🤔 Our new work shows it comes down to the overriding plate, mantle viscosity, and 💫 the slab bending ratio 💫 Check it out here: 👉📄 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
- A new study led by Dr Antoniette Greta Grima (@geoniette.bsky.social) of @uofgges.bsky.social uses the power of supercomputing to model how massive slabs of ancient ocean floors are shaped as they sink hundreds of kilometres below the Earth's surface. Read more here: www.gla.ac.uk/news/headlin...
- Was recently told that gender imbalance in academia is not a thing anymore and yet it seems that the leaky pipeline keeps leaking - “women leave or consider leaving because of workplace climate more often than work-life balance” 👀
- Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.

- How important is continental heterogeneity for subduction dynamics & overriding plate topography?🤔 Pretty important as it turns out!👀 Check out our NEW PAPER to find out more: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #continents #subduction #topography ⚒️🧪
- Some gems from our student haikus on sustainable mining from our 4th year course Minerals, Metal and Materials for a Sustainable Future 😍 Definitely feeling the “pure exhausted like” vibe😅
- As a geodynamicist I can confirm that this totally legit, especially the ancient nameless evil 2 levels up from the magma chamber!😍

We're not gatekeeping being a woman in science today, or ever. We're learning, respecting, supporting, and celebrating. 🧪
- Reposted by Antoniette Greta GrimaVery nice to host @geoniette.bsky.social at EarthByte as part of our Sydney Uni 🤝 Glasgow Uni Ignition Grant on how variations in subduction angle affect volcanism and porphyry copper formation. A great start the year with lots of productive conversations and collaborations!
