If you notice ice where people have been walking on the snow it's created by a process called sintering. Partially melting the little flakes and then they refreeze and get compacted and you get ice. It's how glaciers are formed. #weatherwisdom

Thermal storage goes from strength to strength:
Tata Steel is piloting a 20 MWh thermal energy storage system at its Jamshedpur plant in India, using a so called heat battery to capture and reuse high temperature waste heat from the sintering process.

turbine blades are actually really fascinating because they're made in what is essentially a fancy titanium sintering process

Bringing rocks down to the café with new postdoc Dr Anna Theurel. It is fun to be discussing sintering dynamics and the textures that point to sintering petrogenesis.

I remain obsessed by sintering processes. Here’s Julia talking about sintering of crystal-bearing granular materials with implications for silicic eruptions.

This is a poetic little thread I wrote for Minnesotans in particular.
I'm quoting another thread in the first post of mine, & they're both worth reading, as is the post the initial thread is responding to.
We have friends everywhere.
We are sintering.
And we will win.

We're talking about having been changed forever.
We need to let ourselves adapt to that,

They want us tired, burnt out, & inconsistent.
They don't want us sintering.

Some have decided it's not worth patrolling anymore, that because it's been a bit since ICE has been seen, it's fine.
And let's be honest - what we've done the last 3 months is nothing short of amazing. We've gotten to know our neighbors, the good and the bad.

How does pressure influence viscous sintering behaviour? The higher the pressure, the faster the sintering. Our mathematical sintering framework appears to handle this effect relatively well. We'll be applying this to the sealing-up of tuffisites under the squeezing weight of volcanic domes.

‼️ New paper alert! Putting my research hat back on… here’s a pre-print about the sintering of small glass particles. We think it demonstrates what’s going on in the shallow sub-surface of silicic #volcanoes! Ash + sintering = lava = hybrid eruptions!

Sintering of volcanic ash often occurs over similar timescales to degassing of volatiles by diffusive loss from the particles. These two processes are coupled, and so our full models for viscous sintering have to account for both. Forthcoming work from @geologytalk.bsky.social, myself, and others!

Snow can develop such amazing physical properties through sintering and other metamorphic processes.
Here the snow on top of this fence has drooped into my yard in one section, but into my neighbours’ yard along the rest of its length - creating this wave-like form.
