The CSSL/NTP assisted the US National Weather Service (NWS) with their upgrading of the official rating of the June 2025 Enderlin, ND tornado from EF3 to EF5.
Announced by the NWS today, it’s the first EF5-rated tornado in the US since 2013.

It's always sad to come back from the field, largely because we have to say goodbye to awesome people. I'm grateful to have been able to support the #Kamestastin2025 #Artemis geology training. Now, time to let the blackfly bites heal...

On June 20th, some of the Skylark CubeSat team visited the Gr. 6 students at the Eva Circe-Cote French Immersion Public School in St. Thomas! The students got to learn all about cubesats designed & built at Western University. Thank you to the ECC FIPS School for hosting them!

It took a million years or so, but I have finally published my first science paper, on an underappreciated ancient impact basin near the Moon's south pole. Thanks to my friends, family, and supervisor @drcrater.bsky.social for support along the way!

First identification of preserved dinosaur footprints in South Africa, by UWO's Dr. Guy Plint.

I had the privilege of doing fieldwork with Dr. Plint in northern B.C. in '22 and seeing dino prints there was a vivid window through time I'll never forget.

Great new film by NASA featuring some of the wonderfully talented people that I get to work with every day. We're working hard to prepare for our return to the Moon. This film shows just one aspect of those preparations.
