Magnetotelluric analysis and more Frontiers stuff Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:13, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This book might need mining but about a mythological importance of Tatio seems to be a bit unusual. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:59, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IUGS 100 mention

I think that this is a bit too much information on one particular listing. The IUGS 100 sites listing isn't very widely reported upon, I don't see why it needs a dedicated paragraph when other listings here don't need one. The source itself has little additional information for the article. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:54, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's but two sentences at the end of a long article - I think the fact that the lead international body in the discipline has chosen the site as one of its top 100 is notable. But by all means move mention of it to elsewhere in the article if more appropriate. Geopersona (talk) 19:44, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've done so. I think if we get more commentary (probably in 2023) about this listing, then it can be expanded. As is though there isn't enough information for an entire paragraph. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:32, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
