Where Are All the Earth Science Bloggers?

It’s time to play a game! Where are all the earth science bloggers? Are geologists genetically inclined to dislike the nontechnical nature of the blogosphere? Or are we being discriminated against by our colleagues in physics and biology?

The following are all the active earth science bloggers of which I am aware:

Also of note: Transect Points has a list of soil science bloggers here.

I haven’t included very many LiveJournallers, because there’s like a billion of them and I’m too lazy to sort through. But you can find people interested in geophysics, geology, geodynamics, and hydrogeology, among other things. I update the list every few months or so. If you think you belong here, leave a comment below!

    Holy moly - John Vidale has a blog!
    Seriously though, re: earth science blogs… I found this blog yesterday and figured it was the only one.

    Found this site through Pharyngula. I assumed there weren’t any earth science blogs so I never bothered to look. Surprise surprise. I’m a geographer specializing in geoinformatics, but I never post on it (I get more than I can handle each day at work), so I probably shouldn’t be included.

    I am a geographer from Munich / Germany, just photoblogging at the moment, and found you via Pharyngula (which I found via The Panda’s Thumb which I found on Antievolution.org, linked on Talk.Origins which I found by hazard on Paleos.org…. now back to blogs, the end of the internet and its evolution )

    Crazy! Just checking the links to see how people got to my site and found this page. Awesome compilation of links there. It is kind of sad that there are so few of us.

    Pseudo-defunct. When I graduated college I lost high-speed-connected-all-the-time-ness. And now I’m a teacher so I have no free time (though, while certified in ES, I actually teach physics, oh well). So, someday, perhaps. I still have the Bryce Canyon background image though. So defunct or not, I count for something.

    Looks like I’m joining the party a little late here, but I don’t care. Rock on? No, perhaps not.
    Anyway, my blog isn’t really a geology blog per se, I just write about geology a lot, since it’s a big part of my life at the moment (and hopefully in the future once this degree is done with).
    Nice list, I’ll be signing up to a few of those shortly

    My blog Connaissances is about geology (right on), poetry (eh?) and France (wot!).
    And if I can get all of these subjects in the same sentence, that suits me fine. It’s a good list here, but it needs a lot more yet.
    You could also check out Hexacontium, another geo-blogger who has some great pictures she took down a salt mine.

    Every now and then we come across a situation that doesn`t provide a clear and definite answere. I have one concerning a mineral that we all know and pretty much take for granted and that is pyrite.
    Most of us know that it appears in three crystal forms..cubic, pyritohedron and more rarely octahedrons. The question that I have is “why”. In the same mineral, what causes the variations and combinations ie: cubo-octahedral. In my locality the octahedron is predominate and in others such as Spain, cubes are predominate. Is there a geo-magnetic/chemical/temperature combination at play?
    So far from the experts in the field that I have talked to the answere is not forthcoming.

    […] It really warms my heart when I can read a good blog posting about geology. There are just a few geologists who blog regularly and it’s not so often that I stumble on an interesting and intelligent post about geology from outside this community. That’s why I really value Doc Searls’ occasional gems. I think Doc is really onto something great with his posts about tagging and annotating photos taken by air travellers. […]

    hello!
    I was looking for geologist-blogger when I stumbled upon this website.
    I am currently working in Malaysia, used to work as borehole geologist
    (image logs like FMI, OBMI) for Slb, before moving on to field geology (correlation, reserve/volumetric, modelling, etc)
    Waiting for my turn to be able to go for field trip in the USA maybe, apart from my previous trip to the Southern Pyrennes in Spain.

    see ya! ciao,
