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?
I combed teh Intarnet and found these (in no particular order):
- Andrew Frederiksen - Seismology, earth science, and society
- Sabine's Garden
- Walter Kessinger - Industry Seismology and Stuff
- RealClimate
- John Vidale - SeismoJournal
- Brian Balta - Left Thinking in a Right Lateral Shear Zone
- Our Take - science of the natural environment, intersection of science and public health and development, what distinguishes the perfect croissant
- David Wininger - Yuccacentric (defunct?)
- Martian Soil
- Rock Blog
- Ron Schott
- Dave Schumaker - Geology News
- Revolving Duck
- My Sediments Exactly
- Yorrike
- Schmerles - auf deutsch
- Wolverine Tom
- Mike Zoldak - a geographer specializing in geoinformatics, who never posts on it
- Irene - a geographer's photoblog (auf deutsch)
- Beth Bartel - live from antarctica and points elsewhere
- Andrew Alden - at about.com
- Zoltán Sylvester - webnotes of a skeptical east european
- Cogdogblog - Was Geologist, Now Technologist
- Twinkling Radiance
- Elizabeth - plans to do something like Geology and Geophysics, or English, or... something.
- Ellery Frahm
- Juan Penalosa
- Tarka Wilcox
- The Oil Drum - Peak oil production and sustainable growth
- Joe Gilbert - Just Another Day
And now there's like a billion LiveJournallers to sort through! I always forget about LiveJournal. But it has geophysics! And geology and geodynamics and hydrogeology. And probably, y'know, all that trendy geobio blah-de-blah and other specialties I'm not so interested in.
So that's the answer. All the earth science bloggers are on LiveJournal. But please do keep suggesting anomalies from the rest of the Internet...
i´m a german geologist and frequently i have a look here
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.
Seeking earth scientists
This just won't do. Over at Green Gabbro, Yami asks where all the webloggers of a certain minority group* are, and her approach is to go looking for them, ask for more suggestions, and actually link to them herself, as if her question were not rhe…
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
)
mikez: Piffle! Content is secondary to an invisible yet all-permeating geo-ness. But I’ll warn off those who might be hunting for shop talk
Schmerles, Irene: hoorah!
E Hearn: Moly indeed!
Earth science bloggers unite!
I’m not an earth science type, but I have a volcanologist on my blogroll, mostly because of the glorious pictures of Antarctica she publishes.
I’m shocked that there are so few of us… Wow.
Yeah. I was all excited for a bit there, but the motherlode emptied fast. Still a few hiding around the nth pages of Google searches, though…
I don’t know if blogging about Hubbert’s Peak and the geological problems at Ghawar count but Prof G and I are writing about that at The Oil Drum (http://theoildrum.blogspot.com)
Such a small world- I’ve *MET* one of those other bloggers doing my own geo-bohemian things… in addition to being ex-roommate/coworker/lab pardner with this blogmaster
I’m an ecologist whose started a blog here: http://www.bloglines.com/blog/Wildlifer
But am not sure as of yet, how much I will blog.
Yeah, I was wondering if you two knew each other - Antarctica is a small place. Unless you’re a penguin.
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.
