I’m Ryan, an earth science educator & curriculum developer at two colleges in Central California. I’ve had a hand in some cool virtual field experience innovations, but lately I’m the “Volcano Tissue Box Guy”. I’m pinning my Etsy store link here for when I release batches.

Got to hang out with my BFF’s of 30yrs this weekend where we took turns wearing each other’s glasses and doing impressions that came to mind. Enjoy my terrible Will Ferrell impression of Harry Caray. There are still a few drops of joy in the world.

Note how all the fossil fuel requirements in Inflation Reduction Act were written into statute, like it literally says six lease sales in the Cook Inlet over 10 years.. and most of the renewable energy and climate implementation in the IRA relied on rule-making and agency discretion.
These lease sales are required under the Big Beautiful Bill. The last Cook Inlet sale in 2022 was mandated by the Inflation Reduction Act; that one was overturned under the national environmental policy act. Now we’ll see what happens with a weaker NEPA. www.marinelog.com/offshore/boe...

The underwater seismometer network is so great, as evidenced from yesterday's EQ off-Tohoku.

It's NOAA.. for now
In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

This weekly roundup is a good reminder that earthquakes happen everyday in California. While most are small, eventually there will be one that will be disruptive and, knowing this, it is best to be prepared.
Between November 3 (12:00 AM PST) and November 9 (11:59 PM) there were 50 earthquakes in California of magnitude 2.0 or larger.
🔸45 quakes between magnitude 2.0 - 2.9
🔸5 quakes between magnitude 3.0 - 3.9
The largest earthquake was a magnitude 3.8 near San Ramon, CA.

Really wish TID had something similar that is more public-facing.
Given the public interest, and the continued restoration of the salmon habitat, the Marin Municipal Water District has introduced a new “spawner dashboard” that allows users to dive into the fishery’s data back to 1999. #cawater www.marinij.com/2025/11/09/m...

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

A high-amplitude flow pattern, characterized by near-record strength ridging and troughing (respectively) over the western and eastern U.S. and a very wavy jet stream, will bring a progression of notable weather to North America in the coming days.
