Very happy to say, our paper on orbital forcing of Early Jurassic wildfires just got published in @CommsEarth!!
Check it out if you want to know more about hydrological changes and fire on a orbital timescale:

Huge thank you to all people involved!

:: NEW PAPER THREAD ::
Check out our new paper on using different transforms and filters in semi-automated #lineament analysis. It is #OpenAccess for the next six months or available on @EarthArXiv
doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2021.1…
A #BiscuitCorner publication.

ALT A subset of the semi-automated lineament populations highlighting performance over the platform edge where the tilt derivative captures the most consistent lineament set. Derived from A) magnitude of gradient filter; B) magnitude of Sobel filter; C) 3× 3 Laplacian filter; D) 5 x 5 Laplacian filter; E) hillshade transform; F) tilt derivative (TDR) transform.

It was a very cold -4c this morning at the #UDDGP project site.
We will continue with the #geothermal well testing this month with the minimum number of people at the site, everyone else is #workingfromhome

Combining #MineralProcessing with lightning and #MachineLearning, this article shows that computers can determine breakage rate of rocks by the noises during processing, and this can be used to estimate size reduction.

Potentially of huge significance to the natural resources sector in Cornwall @CornishLithium @BritishLithium @LEPCornwall_IoS
Ramifications of the UK-EU deal just became visible. Up until Jan-24, battery materials are allowed t/b sourced for 70% outside both regions, after that
⬇️ to 50%. UK w/b forced to develop battery supply chain, currently lagging other major regions. bit.ly/387PIIk

A few of us from @CambSchMines will be presenting at @NXGENresources! I'll be giving a short talk about the
@MIREU_EU project and work in #Cornwall 🇪🇺 〓〓
Still time to register: smi.uq.edu.au/HDR-Conference…
There is still time to register for #NXGENResources2020! We have an impressive list of panelists who will be discussing Innovation for Sustainability: Novel Approaches throughout the Mining Life Cycle, The Future of Mining, Breaking Silos, & Mining for Society #phdchat

And, yes Ok we did blow something up with them as well –
At South Crofty Mine underneath #Camborne
#CORNWALL ep1 is now up on @bbciplayer
bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000pb6…
with Owen and Naomi, who first came here on work experience, and is now training as a mining engineer.

We’ve been working hard finding how we can safely run field classes in line with Covid-19 guidelines, and we were delighted to get out last week with our 1st year geologists to Godrevy! Even though the weather and angry sea tried to scupper our plans, we all had a great time! 🤩

Here is a brilliant geology PhD project related to deep geothermal energy. Cornwall is the most prospective area in the UK and Eden Geothermal are drilling a 4.5 km deep well in 2021. You need to be enthusiastic about granite because you’re going to be seeing a lot of it 😉.
🚨PhD PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT🚨- Interested in granite mineralogy/geochemistry, fracture/vein systems + development of deep geothermal energy? Great project here working with the Eden geothermal team. See: bit.ly/3p1sWsb (apply by 16.11.20). #granite #geothermal #cornwall

1. New and known #tungsten targets are identified with confidence and are of particular interest for follow-up studies. I'd expect this to be further refined with a modern #geophysics survey. Still lots of mineral potential in #Cornwall and #Devon!

Our paper on #tungsten prospectivity combining #FuzzyLogic and #MachineLearning is now available in its final form with a beautifully revised PDF available #OpenAccess.
Take home message: classic methods can be combined with the new jazzy ones!
