Completed IT-required training on cybersecurity, sensitive information, including (new) AI component. Chat prompt caught my attention in this background slide. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'm concerned about disclosing one's fears to a chatbot.

I spent the last few days in the Texas Big Bend with students pondering this limestone and conglomerate unit contemporaneous with Solitario volcanism and capped by Bofecillos lavas. Mapped as both pre- and post-Chinati eruption. It records quiet evaporative lakes and intense alluvial inputs.

Aloft today! Richard Marsden took me on a sightseeing run from Wichita Valley Airport. Lakes have water, channels have moved, and land is green...it's been a wet spring and early summer in the Rolling Plains of Texas. Fun to see it from 4,000 feet.

A second beautiful day in the Wichita Mountains within a week. Spent some time with the Quanah Granite and its myriad of included rocks near French Lake.

My office for today - once again in the Wichita Mountains, assessing late-stage mineralization in the Quanah Granite. Pleasant weather made for an enjoyable day.
