  1. Silver Fox says:

    Thanks! Nice list – and it seems we find new ones all the time!

  2. Maria says:

    There’s also Industry Seismology and Stuff, which AFAIK is the longest-running geoblog out there.

  3. Lutz,

    Great work! On the English language version of the list, I would recommend changing the the spelling of vulcanology (no “k”), and also switch Sismoridia’s focus from the Arctic to the Antarctic.

  4. [...] has produced an English-language version of the geoberg.de directory, listing over 100 geoblogs. Click here to view the list in English. Many thanks to Lutz at geoberg.de for all his work on this invaluable [...]

  6. Silver Fox says:

    Lutz, thanks again for all the hard work you’ve put into this list!

    P.S. I think your link to the English version over at Callan’s site doesn’t work, although it might just be my internet browser.

  7. Lutz says:

    Yes, you’re right. I forgot the “:” between “http” and “//”.

  8. Simon says:

    Hello !

    We start a geoblog in French .. A preliminary version in on-line now :

    Globosphere ! http://www.globosphere.net

  9. Thank you for your hint! I added your blog to the list.

  10. Chris Rowan says:

    I hope it’s not to egotistical of me to hope that you’ll stick Highly Allochthonous on here at some point…

  11. Shame on me! There was something in my mind saying to me that I listed your blog already but I never checked it. Thank you for you hint.

  13. Lutz,
    This one’s not on the list: http://rovicky.wordpress.com/
    It’s all about Malaysian geology, including for instance earthquakes, tsunami risk, and the recent landslide in KL… Thing is, it’s written in Bahasa… But it’s clearly a geoblog.

  14. Lutz says:

    Thank you Callan! I’ll add it during the next update of the geoblog-list.
    Lutz

  15. Hi Lutz,

    Found a new one: Wayne Ranney’s “Earthly Musings”: http://earthly-musings.blogspot.com/

  16. Gaudru Henry says:

    Hie, I suggest to you to include my french language blog about volcanic hazards…

    http://volcanologie.risque.over-blog.com

    Sincerely Yours

  17. Howard Allen says:

    A correction, and an addition:

    Correction: The Alberta Vertebrate Palaeontological Association blog is about vertebrate palaeontology of Alberta, not Arizona (!)

    Addition: http://ancientshore.com
    Graham Young’s blog about palaeontology and geology in Manitoba, Canada–great photos!

    Cheers,
    Howard

  18. Oh, I am sorry for making Alberta to Arizona. I have changed it. Thank you!

  19. Stratigraphy says:

    hi, i find new site about geology

  20. ChrisM says:

    Hi,
    a bit of a correction-I know some people think they are the same :-) , but I don’t work on vertebrates- I work on echinoderms!

  21. Andrew Alden says:

    I recommend the blog Eclectic Plagiodoxy. Besides its excellent name, it features the deep musings of a longtime geology teacher, George Turner.
