Love this graphic from @georgetownuni.bsky.social colleagues Susannah McGowan @susmcgowan.bsky.social , Aranza Obscura, and Julio Orozco focusing on a fascinating course “Mastering the Hidden Curriculum” for first generation students. Very inspiring work! #Symposium2025 #GardnerSymposium

Flew right past the Arizona Meteor Crater (east of Flagstaff) earlier today on a flight from Phoenix to Denver with an excellent view at 10,000 feet. ☄️ And then past the Four Corners National Monument. #geology #geolife

And here’s one more from earlier today. Our mini-donkeys, Dusty on the left, and Kiko on the right. No, guys, no treats, sorry. But I appreciate the hopeful looks. 🫏🫏 #donkeysofbluesky #blueskydonkeys

Obligatory cat photo (aka palette cleanser). Jasper has spent his day resting, which is apparently an exhausting exercise as he needed an early evening nap from all that resting. #catsofbluesky #blueskycats

Took an amazing hike a few days ago with my brother Mike down Granite Creek here in Chino Valley, AZ. We found some mountain lion prints in the mud (!) and 1.8 billion year old rocks (Del Rio Quartzite)! (Hammer for scale)

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was – in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.7C to 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.
