Good morning followers, new and not-new! After the flux of newcomers this weekend, I thought I’d introduce a little bit more about me + my journey so far to becoming a scientific/data illustrator.

My name's Mark and I am super passionate about telling science stories with the power of visual media🎨 I love illustration, I learn best with visuals, and I am constantly looking for (er, doodling?) ways to make pictures say MORE than just "a thousand words” πŸ˜‰ Introductory portrait of Ma...Showcase of various example...5 icons in the center of th...Picture of Mark drawing on ...
I've always been drawn to art as a kid. Ever since I could hold a pencil, I've been creatively engaged. Growing up I was discouraged from pursuing art (who wasn't?) and so I gradually developed an interest in science. Natural History is my favourite subject. 🌐πŸͺ±πŸ’πŸ¦€πŸ¦©πŸ„πŸͺΈπŸͺβœ¨

We combined results from oxygen isotope palaeoaltimetry in south east Tibet with numerical models to investigate the effect of lateral contrasts in the strength of the lower crust on the development of mountain ranges.
Key findings:
1. Lateral variations in lower crustal strength provide a first-order control on the shape and temporal evolution of mountain ranges
2. Strong lower crust in the Sichuan Basin can explain the development of topography in the Longmen Shan without #channelflow
