Addie Berard at Penn State has a great writeup about our new Mars beaches paper. Zhurong rover GPR imaged what we interpret to be 1.3 km of buried prograding foreshore deposits. Most shoreline work must contend with billions of yrs of erosion - not here! Article links: sites.psu.edu/planetarysed...

Happy to be part of this work from Zhurong rover data - buried beach deposits on Mars!
Mars may once have had an ocean with sandy beaches, radar data suggests

China’s Zhurong rover finds evidence resembling shoreline of large ocean that may have existed 3.5bn to 4bn years ago
Mars may once have been home to sandy beaches, new ground-penetrating radar data suggests.

Don’t accept a buyout.
Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

Stereonet pros, question for you! I have stereonets with a lot of blank space, like below. Does anyone ever make stereonets that don't show the entire hemisphere? Is that proper?? Can you even do that in matplotlib?
