A couple of SES undergrad and grad classes have recently ventured to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado to learn about fundamental geological processes that have shaped this spectacular range. The fall foliage wasn't bad either :)

New paper alert! New research from former NAU PhD student Emerson Lynch, SES Prof @rengellia.bsky.social , and colleagues demonstrates that some upper plate faults in the Cascadia subduction zone are very active, with important earthquake hazards implications. Check it out! #nau_geology
🌍The Beaufort Range fault is ACTIVE!
This right-lateral oblique Beaufort Range faulting occurs >100 km farther North than previously documented faults in the Cascadia forearc.

Myself, @kdmorell.bsky.social, @djshillington.bsky.social, and Rob Witter (USGS) used an SSA community grant to host an Alaska Subduction Zone workshop in conjunction with a USGS meeting in January. The community grants are a great option if you're looking to fund a workshop/training. ⚒️
Want to learn more about SSA's #grant programs? Join our Program Coordinator Nikki Perlwitz to discuss and get your questions answered about our community grants, travel grants and more. Sign up now for one of two sessions on 30 June!

The budget bill passed by the house would dramatically increase the national debt because huge tax breaks for the wealthy will cost much more than 'savings' from cuts to essential programs Let's hope the senate has the sense to fix this.
