Dust^2<p>In October, 2024 Jeff Munroe (Middlebury College) spent nearly three weeks traveling to 20 mineral dust collectors deployed on mountain summits in the southwestern United States for the DUST^2 Project, part of the Critical Zone Collaborative Network. This short film documents the majestic landscapes in which the collectors are located, and provides a sense of what it’s like to conduct such a long stretch of solo fieldwork.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkjq-CUR188" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=Pkjq-CUR188</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FieldworkFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FieldworkFriday</span></a></p>
John<p>Standing on top of the remnants of a Mississippian barrier island. These days, it's a thin interval of sandstone sandwiched between thick successions of limestone, on the side of a mountain, in north Alabama.<br /><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>geology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/fieldwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fieldwork</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/fieldworkfriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fieldworkfriday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FieldPhoto" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FieldPhoto</span></a></p>
John<p>I really love exploring my current mapping area. Walking through the canebrakes It's easy to imagine the environment is pristine and just like it was hundreds of years ago. Also there has been bedrock exposure in almost every creek I've investigated, which is a definite plus.<br /><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>geology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/fieldworkfriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fieldworkfriday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/nativeplants" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nativeplants</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nature</span></a></p>

Dr Nathalie Brusgaard<p><a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/FieldworkFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FieldworkFriday</span></a> last week I visited the exciting Early Neolithic site Eilsleben in 🇩🇪 where the university of Halle is excavating. In the '80s they dug here and found the remains of farmhouses, animals, humans, and even a mask made from a human skull 😬 </p><p>The Linear Pottery culture, dated to ca 5500-4800 BCE, which this site belongs to, seem pretty macabre to us today. But oh so cool too! I'm very excited to be collaborating on this project in the years to come 🤩</p>
Wandering Hermit<p>These are lava tubes, the caves/channels sometimes left behind after lava ceases to flow from a volcanic eruption. Our field work this week is working on the question "how can we best detect subsurface lava tubes from the surface, preferably by automated methods?"</p><p>Why do we care? Imagine you are trying to establish a base on, say, the moon. What better way to protect your Lunatics from radiation, micrometeorites, and temperature swings than underground? </p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/FieldworkFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FieldworkFriday</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Geophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Geophysics</span></a></p>
John<p>Here is a near perfect example of how sometimes rotting logs can be mistaken at a distance for an outcrop. On the left is a quartz rich graphite + garnet schist. On the right is a tree stump that is submerged under a lake for 2/3rds of the year.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>geology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/fieldworkfriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fieldworkfriday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FridayFieldPhoto" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FridayFieldPhoto</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/rocks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rocks</span></a></p>
