Hi everyone, So, I was out sampling today and came across an interbedded silstone and conglomerate unit. Proximal to these outcrops, there is the most puzzling volcanic rock I have ever seen. It appeared to be conglomeratic with a volcanic ( black, aphanitic) matrix. The matrix was sharp and porous. I was thinking it was possibly a flow breccia, but almost all of the clasts (silica/chert) were rounded to subrounded. Could this mean that the volcanism interacted with the conglomerate? Relative ages: The volcanics are much younger (by ~100ma.) than the sediments. Does anybody have an idea as to ..read more

This was the bonus question on my historical geology final. I thought it was fun to answer so wanted to see what some of y'all's thoughts are! "Ponder the question was evolution of humans and agriculture overall “good” or “bad”, and how would you define/ measure this? I do not have a right answer to grade, but just want you to think." submitted by /u/AvatarAvvv [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I graduated with a bachelors in geology back in fall 2021 and didn’t do research on the side while in school. Since then I’ve been working in the nonprofit arts education field where I’ve worked as a teaching assistant and teaching artist which entails visiting public schools and teaching art and dance. I applied for a project analyst job that seems pretty manageable to do based off the job description, but I saw someone on LinkedIn with the exact same job from the same company with an environmental studies/international affairs degree, and some research experience, I’m starting to think the ..read more

Hey everyone, I’m a transfer student (CCC to UC). I’ve been admitted into Berkeley and Santa Barbara for geology and am wondering if anybody can provide insight on those geology programs. I live in SB, but grew up in the bay, so either will be a very familiar place. How do the geology programs compare? Can anybody help? My main interests are volcanology and hydrogeology. submitted by /u/DontBustTheCrust [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
