I’m game to host, but I’d prefer any other topic- geologists in movies would merely be a subset of the January edition.

Here are two topics I thought off:
A more humorous one: “Weird rituals and traditions among Geologists.” I could spontaneously think of 2 already.
More serious: “Famous Geologists (or Geoscientists as a broader term) and their achievements.” I could name a few…

Another possible topic: A geological event that was particularly memorable/meaningful to you and why. It could be anything from hearing about but not experiencing a specific event that caught your particular interest, to that one occurrence you were waiting for to make the point on your paper and then it happened, to your own first-hand experience with an event. Or whatever else someone wants to make of it!

I think I know my topic; Tuff can have movies if she wants. I’ll post tonight, link from here.

I would like to reserve April, please, for something related to Earth Day and where geology fits (or doesn’t). I have a couple old rants about Earth Day, but I’d personally like to try honey this year over vinegar.

Andrew…I put you up there for April. But, isn’t Earth Day in May?
February 12, 2008 at 7:46 am
Earth Day is 22 April, I believe…
Erm. If there are no volunteers and people don’t object to newbies, I could take May.
February 12, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Julian … okay, you’re on there for May. Yes, of course, Apr 22nd…duh.
February 25, 2008 at 2:39 pm
I’ll confirm the Movies one for…hmm…March 24 (John Wesley Powell’s birthday, as it happens). Therefore, everything should be in by Easter Sunday. Sound good?

Hey everybody! I haven’t forgotten the Wedge. Tuesday the 22d is Earth Day, the US-centric one not the official UN version on the equinox. The April Wedge is, whatever you want to tell the world on Earth Day.
I’ve been a curmudgeon in the past about Earth Day, but I won’t be this year. Global warming has made us all “earth scientists,” which I prefer to call geologists. That will be my theme, I think. But by all means speak your own piece, don’t kowtow to mine. Send your links to geology@about.com, and I’ll drip a post the evening of the 21st just to get a jump on the day, with revisions to accommodate all new submissions.

I also haven’t forgotten about the Wedge! I’m still up for hosting in May, and I think I’m going to use the “significant geological event for you” idea I mentioned earlier in this thread. I’ll make a more detailed and articulate post about it once Andrew posts the April carnival.
