In such circumstances where the world is turned upside down by #COVID19 (#corona #virus) global pandemic outbreak #stayinghome is one and only mechanism which is presumed to be effective to contain the spread of the virus. This implies there is #nogeologicalfieldwork and hence no #photofromgeologicalfieldwork. However improvisation is around the corner so starting from today until #geology comes back to the outdoors satellite images of geological features will be shared in this page.
