Turns out wearing bunker gear and level A suits for ten years is useful when the paint in your home office *might* have lead in it.

I’m in charge of an article we resurrected from an MS thesis. One reviewer replied with “big feelings” over some minor figure details held over from the thesis (map projection, etc.). Being on the hot seat while slightly removed from minor content makes it feel very “young man yells at cloud.”

Geology continues to be a small world: I was chatting with someone on a group ride today about paradigm changes and the old guard pushing back, specifically about the advent of plate tectonics. I mentioned that my dad had been at Princeton in the 70s, turns out they went to grad school together.

Artisanal mining occurs in many more places, and with many more resources, than just South Africa and coal. A point absolutely not made to bash this article, but to highlight the abhorrence people in poverty will tolerate to get by.

'Artisanal miners' is the phrase used for South Africans who salvage coal from abandoned mines. It's a grueling and risky life. "Bit by bit it's killing something inside me," says one such miner.

Pretty damn thrilled to be here!
We're a week out from the start of classes here at Denison University. I wanted to welcome our two new faculty in Earth and Env. Sciences: Dr. Tyler Grambling (@crustalrheology.bsky.social‬) and Dr. Stacy Porter (@iceicestacy.bsky.social‬). We're thrilled to have them!

In a new study, sensors & cameras were operated along roads & in storm drains INSIDE 3 coastal North Carolina communities to study how often flooding—from nuisance to larger—really happens. Answer: A lot more often, & for longer, than the current tide gage network suggests.

Today’s the day to move out of the office and rock storage at CC. Any guesses on how much the pile weighs? (I have a pretty reasonable idea)

Tonight I discovered my grandma’s Goodreads page. She wrote kid’s books from when my sister was born until her dementia prevented her from it. It’s very odd to see how people interpret parts of my childhood, but more so, it’s heartening to see her work still impacting people.

Pure shear-dominated shear zones that haven’t been mapped previously? Yes, please!

My 38th birthday present to myself was to make our last rent payment (ever?)! At the end of the month we move to Granville to hang out with these new neighbors.

Well, I finally got annoyed enough with a Wikipedia article to sign up and edit it.
