Moho.

Moho.

That is an awesome word.

Roughly a week ago, I asked my supervisor if he could recommend some geology titles for me. Specifically Petroleum Geology. While I am beginning to have some familiarity with the materials I've been working with, there's still a lot I do not know, and as I explained to him, I would like to have a better understanding. A few days later, he came in with a book from his own personal collection for me to read. I've been slowly making my way through it.

Fast forward to today.

Every couple of weeks, the Geologists have 'Lunch and Learns'. I'm often not invited, seeing as I am not a Geologist, and they typically talk about their specific projects, and software, etc. Well, today, perhaps because I asked for the book, perhaps because I've shown an enthusiastic interest in the subject as I am cataloging the materials, I was invited for part of the Lunch and Learn. Specifically, for a presentation on Moho.

Moho is the boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle, and in very specific areas, can be seen. One such place is in Newfoundland, Canada. The presentation involved a month-long excursion visiting various geological sites and areas in Canada (Nova Scotia, Labrador, and Newfoundland), as a for-credit class when my supervisor was still a professor. Including to see the Moho.

It was seriously fascinating. I've learned just enough over the last several weeks that I was able to keep up with the parts about the Subduction Zone, and the various types of rocks (Cambrian, Ordovician, Permian, etc), and yet I learned something totally and completely new: Moho.

I've already made mentioned I would love to attend future Lunch and Learns for similar discussions and topics. Supervisor agreed.

The rest of the day was good as well. I'm working on the very last of the folders. Tomorrow, I'm going to get into the file room to start integrating all the files together. Plan is to also grab said Supervisor, in part, so he can see where things will be going, and hopefully, to start him on the topic of disposing of some of the more superfluous items.

Hopefully, I succeed.

Moho.
