Each Monday I pick five posts from the previous week in the geoscience blogosphere that caught my eye. I'm going to limit it to just five because I want those who are not already plugged into this community to get a manageable sampling of the awesome stuff out there.
Here is my list for September 27-October 3, 2010:
- Did you know the geoscience blogosphere has its own blog carnival? It's called The Accretionary Wedge and the latest installment asked participants to discuss an "important geological experience". The result is a collection of fantastic stories from more than 20 bloggers. Lockwood (@lockwooddewitt) over at Outside the Interzone hosted this one and has a great summary of the entries.
- Chuck at Lounge of the Lab Lemming wants to know how people use Wikipedia.
- Erik Klemetti (@eruptionsblog) of Eruptions has a guest post on AGU's blog The Plainspoken Scientist about why he blogs.
- Steve Gough (@gravelbar) of Riparian Rap shows off their redesigned river process simulator, the Emriver Em2 (and they got some awesomely dorky t-shirts too).
- Ole Nielsen (@olelog) of olelog discusses how the immense submarine landslide offshore Norway 8,000 years ago (the Storegga Slide) created a tsunami that very likely affected people inhabiting the now-submerged area known as Doggerland. Also, it's Ole's 5-year blogiversary, I sure hope he keeps it up!
Enjoy!

* This digest is what catches my eye throughout the week. With scores of posts a week from geoscience blogs I'm sure to miss a lot. Don't hesitate to let me know about other great posts in the geoblogosphere via Twitter, e-mail, or in the comment thread.
