Waves coming off the basalt columns at Reynisfjara black sand beach. It's amazing that the camera technology is so good now that this was handheld at 1/8th second - the columns are sharp but I was able to capture the movement of the water too.

Started a new book. I've been fascinated with geology since the intro class I took my freshman year at Smith. This book puts me right back there again, curious to learn more with each page. It's SO good!

A geology book I recommend frequently is Timefulness by
Marcia Bjornerud. Nonfiction, looks at our relationship to time and how we understand it in geological terms. The author advocates for improving our understanding of geologic time as part of confronting our role in climate change.

While hunting for fossils, the unexpected is sometimes discovered. These finds can range from pottery shards to this fulgurite, or "fossil lightning," formed when lightning strikes the ground.

The nhdplusTools R package from USGS can generate simple interactive Leaflet maps of river basins and networks with one line of code. Here is the North Platte above the WY-NE state line, which I've used for almost two decades as a case study of mountain snowmelt and stream discharge.

I know [waives hands], but for anyone looking for an entry level job in fisheries or birds: the US Fish and Wildlife Service has some 6 month positions open now. Go on USA jobs and put 0400 in the search bar. That’s the general biology series. Also some small craft operators (search 5786).
