Since @radatmines.bsky.social is currently in CHC deploying to #Antarctica, I thought I’d post some pictures from (I believe at the time—2019–new) pre-deployment sexual harassment training from the last time I deployed 🫠

I will be sad when it’s not 2025 anymore because we will no longer be exactly halfway between the start of the Industrial Revolution and 2300 😕I suppose I’ll need to start talking about how we are halfway between Benjamin Franklin’s kite experience and 2300 instead ⚡️

Congratulations to #MinesGlaciology’s (and @coschoolofmines.bsky.social’s) latest PhD, Dr. Samara Garvey, who just successfully defended her dissertation, “Applications of Active-Source Multi-Component Seismology to Subsurface Characterization”!

Always good to be a coauthor with our busyboi Keir.
Chuffed to be included in this review paper on the Foundation-Patuxent-Academy ice stream system, Antarctica led by Neil Ross - you can see the preprint in open review here: doi.org/10.5194/egus... - featuring the busiest figure I've ever made 🇦🇶🧊

Just tell me about the tour, le monde — I don’t need to hear about my officesuitemate’s project 20 years in the making. I hear about it enough already.

A reminder that the last American team to win the CFL’s Grey Cup was more recent than the last Canadian NHL team to win the Stanley Cup. The 1995 Baltimore Stallions.

As someone who has been punched in the face with a giant maglite by a (surprise! Chicago) cop for asking “…wait what?”, I will just point out here the entire interaction is recorded. So, as I’ve argued before, if there was an assault, just show the video. (They can’t because there was no assault.)

as always, NPG has been a bad actor in our world for a long time. My colleagues can vouch that I’ve been doing my best to redirect papers away from NPG (mostly successfully) for about a decade now. Support your professional societies (which are problematic too, but still of course better).
Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model.

What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it?

Last day of field camp. Run with the students, best parking spot at new office, new shower at new office after the Oregonian ran us through mud, and one hell of a new office conference room to make my last slide deck in. If you’ve emailed me in the last 4-6 weeks with no response, plz email again

“Livin’ La Vida Loca” is #1 today in 1999 — a track that marked an inflection point for Latin influence on pop culture.

“When we presented it to the record company,” said co-writer Desmond Child, an exec “came back to me and said, 'Could you write that song in English?' I said, 'It IS in English.'”
