Stunning image shows the closest ever Einstein ring
Albert Einstein himself thought that the eponymous Einstein ring would be impossible to observe, but the Euclid telescope has picked one up just 600 million light years from Earth

Rising groundwater table due to restoration projects amplifies earthquake induced liquefaction risk in Beijing - Nature Communications
The authors find that groundwater table recovery leads to a remarkable increase in seismic liquefaction risk in Beijing. The findings highlight the necessity to consider the influence of rapid groundw...

In 2006, we determined that climate change would drive "consistent shifts in Santa Ana events from earlier to later in the season" and said this "may significantly increase the extent of CA coastal areas burned by wildfires, loss of life, and property."

We develop a new layer-averaged, two layer formulation for long-runout turbidity currents!
Overthickening⚔️NO!
Overdilute⚔️NO!
A simple model for fluid and morpho-dynamics of long-runout turbidity currents.

wow, thank you Jill! I cannot use this plate anymore as CA requires a numbered front plate. But this is my favorite one
FB reminded me of this post from 4 years ago - spotted on a car at UARK. Fittingly it was @sedimentdynamics.bsky.social ‘s car - the 2023 Luna B. Leopold awardee. Clearly he did and does science the crap out of this and that
