I am a climate scientist and geologist and think that climate, geology, and geography are incredibly interesting fields that people deserve to know more about. If you have any questions that you’ve sat with for a while, are just curious, want to know more about future or past scenarios, or even have worldbuilding questions, feel free to ask!
At a summer camp they had the motto Chert Hurts and I fell while running and still have a scar on my knee. My question is, do you have any Chert facts? Seems like it’s just silica and nothing special, but it does hurt.
Really appreciate your in depth answers, especially the effort post on glaciation. That was a satisfying read!
Chert and its formation is probably going to be one of the most important ways to understand how to combat climate change long term! You can read about that process here and I’ve posted about it a few times on Hexbear before, so you might find me going more in depth if you don’t mind looking a bit.
Chert is also one of my favorite characters from the game Outer Wilds (HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY SUGGEST PLAYING!!!)
