The MSG 2025 field trip in Anglesey, Wales, is underway and the sun is shining 🌞
Below, @owenmweller is inspecting an iconic outcrop in Wales: the spectacular ~570 Ma Anglesey blueschists, comprised of partially subducted and exhumed ocean floor material!

✅ Day 0 of MSG 2025 was a great success! Huge thanks to Nico Riel (University of Mainz) for an engaging and instructive workshop on using MAGEMin, and how it can applied to solve complex problems in thermodynamic modelling of igneous and metamorphic systems.
