Geonetzwerk.org recently published the complete results of the geoblog survey (2009). The authors Dr. Robert Huber (MARUM, Bremen), Callan Bentley (Northern Virginia Community College, USA) und Lutz Geißler outline the social and demographical makeup of the Geoblogosphere and provide an interesting insight into the motivation of the geobloggers.
Study “The state of the Geoblogosphere – geoscience communication in the social web”…
Chris compiled an illustrated glossary with the geo-photographs submitted to the last Accretionary Wedge carnival. It displays the great diversity of geosciences, educates and provides deeper explanations by linking to the original posts. At the time I submitted a photo of twinned selenite.
After posting the geoblogosphere bibliography few days ago I got an e-mail from the Public Information Coordinator of the AGU, Maria-José Viñas, with two suggestions for geoblogosphere-related online articles I added to the list meanwhile. She informed me that the AGU started a new blog about science communication in March named “The Plainspoken Scientist“. They created a category named “Why I blog”, where geobloggers like Callan or Jessica are invited to publish the way they became a geoblogger. Maria-José Viñas wrote:
[...] we’ll be exploring why Earth and space scientists blog, what they get from blogging, and how their outreach efforts are perceived by their peers, among other questions.

As you know, we (Robert, Callan and I) launched an online survey about the geoblogosphere last year (October to November). The following results are only a (very) short summary of the comprehensive data which will be published in a few months in a professional journal. Due to a chronic lack of time, I mainly show the graphs without much of interpretation. However, I think (or hope) the data are also interesting without an extensive discussion. (more…)
