I'm personally hesitant to post about a plate that I don't know in a lot of depth (except in response to something in the news) - I don't want to screw up and say something totally wrong. Maybe other people feel differently, though.<BR/><BR/>I would prefer topics that could go in unexpected directions, depending on people's interests. Geologic surprises (things that you wouldn't expect to find in a particular place)? What is it about X (where X could be deep marine sediments or desert landscapes or the core-mantle boundary or ring-shaped structures on Venus or whatever) that makes you want to study/know more about X? The worst field/lab/etc experience (because the worst experiences make the best stories)?Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738706550175991130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35076012.post-83607574888288965012007-08-27T16:26:00.000-07:002007-08-27T16:26:00.000-07:00Okay...i was hoping to get a little more feedback ...Okay...i was hoping to get a little more feedback in terms of level of participation (like from kim, yami, miguel?)....but, maybe i'll assume that we'll have some takers for the first edition of 'The Accretionary Wedge'.<BR/><BR/>I will put together a 'call for posts' tonight or tomorrow.

I don't see this is a super-serious technical session requiring tons of research. But, like I said, i'm open. Should we start broad and focus after time?<BR/><BR/>"Is this for us or other people?"

Given our wide geographic distribution, how about a geological setting instead of a particular locale: e.g. "Island Arcs" instead of "The Phillipine's Plate".<BR/><BR/>2.

Personally, I need a month's lead time, since my field rosters are generally about 3 weeks.<BR/><BR/>4. I can already proffer several entries if the catagory is "non-geologic posts in a blog that is nominally about Earth Science"<BR/><BR/>Finally,<BR/>No fucking Latin!
