[Cross-posted at Highly Allochthonous] If I had a time machine and could go back to any point in geologic history, as supposed in this month’s Accretionary Wedge call, the event I’d most like to see is the repeated flooding of the Pacific Northwest at the end of the last Ice …
[Cross posted at Highly Allochthonous] Adding to the meme begun by Short Geologist (requirements for a field hotel) and followed on by Maria (requirements for a field vehicle), I’ll present my requirements for a field pack. The topic has been on my mind a bit recently because I’m launching a …
Every week there’s a virtual flood of enticing looking papers from the tables of contents that arrive in my in-box. Here are the ones that look most enticing to me this week: Jencso, K. G., B. L. McGlynn, M. N. Gooseff, S. M. Wondzell, K. E. Bencala, and L. A. …

During low water the cattle delight to graze upon the islets…at such times they furnish a curious spectacle in the midst of a mighty river.” So wrote architect Robert …
Though born and raised in the craton of North America, my PhD field work looked at the interplay between volcanism, hydrology, and geomorphology in the Oregon Cascades. I’ll admit that I’ve become a bit of a volcano geek, and the last few weeks have provided some really spectacular eruptions to …
The National Weather Service has produced a pretty map of snowfall totals from the storm a few weeks ago. Mecklenburg County (Charlotte) got around 4″, which is a hair more than I measured at home on Monday morning (~3.5″ plus an ice layer). At our field site in Gaston County, …
Last week, the Southeastern United States received several inches of snow. This late season snowfall was certainly a novelty, though not an unprecedented occurrence. But it did stir up conversations among local residents, especially when the week ended with ~25 degree Celsius (75 Fahrenheit) sunshine. The weather’s fickleness also got …
I haven’t posted in a while, but I feel a few posts getting ready to ooze out over the next few weeks. But in order to get back into the swing of things, I’m going to indulge in some lightweight posting. Ages ago by internet standards (but less than an …
