Always excites me every time you upload a new video. I know I haven’t been commenting on your videos as much as I used to but I still watch them and they still teach me a lot. Nice to see how often you upload new videos. Keep it up with fantastic work. 😊❤️😉👍
@@SaurabhKumar-dp1rj haha, I love that you think of it as a class. Are you in school right now? If so, are you taking igneous petrology? Or are you just curious about the topic? :)
Hey sorry for arriving late at the party, but not even chatgpt could get me out of this one lol. In the harker diagrams that you show for the alcali-lime index, when there is a rich silica magma there is low CaO and high alkalis. How is it possible that calcic magmas have high SiO2 and high CaO (Compared to alkalis) when in the harker diagram it shows that at high SiO2, the CaO2 is low?
Yep! I have done both :D The bowen's reaction series I did very early on in my channel: th-cam.com/video/qbLASpeXe9s/w-d-xo.html, and the QAPF I did in a more recent video: th-cam.com/video/x1s3TYVcccA/w-d-xo.html :)
Excellent video! Do you find that making these videos helps perfect your ability to communicate geological scientific information? It may seem like an obvious question but I'm curious? I did my first poster session the other day. I want to be a geological science teacher/professor one day and would like your advice on how to improve communication skills. I anticipate that it takes practice? Also I appreciate the review on the major element indices. And I LOVE trace elements. I'm going to be interpreting some trace element data soon from ICP-MS and am super excited to finally practice this skill and interpret real data!
YES ABSOLUTELY! Making these lectures has greatly improved my presentation/speaking/communication abilities, that is in part why I make them. Congrats on your first poster presentation btw!! That's so exciting! In terms of advice, I would echo that it is practice practice practice. But I also think if that is the route you are going, you will likely get a lot of practice through being a teaching assistant which is often required of graduate students. So I highly recommend fully embracing your teaching assistantship and really trying to connect with your students, because they are going to give you so much feedback (even if they aren't aware), they give you facial expressions, they give either engagement or lack of engagement, all of which can be helpful for you to improve your teaching style. However, sometimes the lack of engagement is not your fault, they are just a quiet bunch, but most of the time, when I have improved my teaching style, my students become more engaged (they ask/answer questions in class, they discuss problems with each other, etc.). The other thing you can do to improve your general communication skills is to continue to go to conferences and present posters and talks. The more you do the more confident you become and you also get a feel for how people interact with you at each type of presentation and you get practice answering questions you might not have a clear answer to (which is a useful skill haha). Lastly, I LOVE trace elements too!! They give us so much information! And congrats on getting some data soon! I plan to get some data soon too, it is so exciting, isn't it?! :D
@@GEOGIRL thank you for the kind words and expansion on your experience. You should consider making a video about your views on education and I’m curious if you have opinions on how geoscience education is conducted in the classroom.
@@anarcho-geologist4528 Yes! I want to do that kind of content so bad, but I feel like I need to get further in my teaching career for people to actually take me seriously haha.
@@anarcho-geologist4528 haha, that's exactly why! Because I am not a professor yet. I literally have zero full professorship experience. But once I do I figure I will have more room to talk :)
Interesting Discussion. Were you Legally Eligible to use the "Doctor" Title once you were handed your PhD? Are there any Rules/Laws that Govern this? Just a Curious Question.
How are you pumping a full lecture every few days? Unless you have a small army of cobble-sized minions literature reviewing, summarizing, creating presentations , recording, editing, uploading.. etc) Anyway.. nothing against igneous rocks and volcanoes but are you by any chance going to cover some sedimentary topics?
Haha, no I am not pumping these out that quickly, it takes me foreverrr to do the research for these videos! I made many of these videos that are just coming out now over the summer actually and am only releasing them now ;) And of course! I can't wait to get to sedimentary topics, I plan to do a whole playlist over sedimentology/stratigraphy and another whole playlist over carbonate petrology! I even hope to eventually do one over structural geology, but that may be a bit further out because it is not a strength of mine lol. I actually only started with the igneous pet playlist because it was the most requested, I would've preferred to start with sedimentary;) but I love it all, so it will all be on my channel eventually :D
Another Wednesday surprise video. I think I’ll watch entire video now
I ❤️GEO GIRL.

Thanks so much, I am so glad you still enjoy them! ;)
@@GEOGIRL You’re very welcome. 😉👍 I always enjoy them and I look forward to seeing more. ❤️😊
I am studying granitoid rocks more carefully with a hand lens, to see the compostion. This video is very helpful.
Your explanation is impeccable ma'am and you are so beautiful😍
Thanks so much! ;D
These videos are so helpful.
This is awesome! Really appreciate the video!
Clear and concise description.
thank you alot all your videos helped me 🎖🎖🎖🎖
You are very welcome, I am so glad they have helped you :D
Thank you. Very well explained ❤
Of course, glad you found it helpful!
Very informative videos lecture
Keep up the good work 💞
I'm a geoscientist from Kashmir.
Thanks so much! So glad you find my videos informative ;D
@@GEOGIRL
Welcome
@@GEOGIRL
Are you teaching at any University or institute???
@@UsmanAli-yz5zc I am a teaching assistant at a University, yes, but I am also a grad student :)
@@GEOGIRL
Nice,, your teaching method is very unique and excellent.
Keep hard working and grow more and more.
There is no limit of learning.
Very well explained
I was waiting for this video thank you
Oh really? I was worried no one would care about this one, so I am glad to hear that, thanks! Hope it is helpful for you ;)
I am regular viewer of your class
@@SaurabhKumar-dp1rj haha, I love that you think of it as a class. Are you in school right now? If so, are you taking igneous petrology? Or are you just curious about the topic? :)
I am in college doing bsc plus msc geology and this topic is in my 2 nd year syllabus.
@@SaurabhKumar-dp1rj That's great, good luck! :D
Will there be a test? My felsic mafic ruby....
keep shinning

Maam created telegram group for geology doubt and discussions
Excellent! Have you done Bowen’s reaction series or the QAPF diagram yet?
Yep! I have done both :D The bowen's reaction series I did very early on in my channel: th-cam.com/video/qbLASpeXe9s/w-d-xo.html, and the QAPF I did in a more recent video: th-cam.com/video/x1s3TYVcccA/w-d-xo.html :)
@@GEOGIRL cool!
Thanks for the help

@@GEOGIRL 😳😳you’re literally a PhD student!!! How can you say that!!!??
@@anarcho-geologist4528 haha, that's exactly why! Because I am not a professor yet. I literally have zero full professorship experience. But once I do I figure I will have more room to talk :)
Make one video on structural geology problems like three point , stereonet,Maps etc it will be really helpful
What great ideas, thanks for the suggestion! I will work on it :)
@@GEOGIRLmy pleasure
Interesting Discussion. Were you Legally Eligible to use the "Doctor" Title once you were handed your PhD? Are there any Rules/Laws that Govern this? Just a Curious Question.
Well, yes to my understanding once you graduate with a PhD you can use the Dr. title :)
@@GEOGIRL -- THANK YOU. That is the way I understand it too BUT I lack a long ways of having a PhD. LOL. I am proud of you. You are our Hero.

You're are very welcome, I am glad you liked it ;)
Your videos are fantastic, however this one is much harder to understand. The part that you say is confusing really is.
Meow? :)
