Question for our congress reps:

July 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the report that led to the founding NSF & NIH, elevating the US from scientific backwater to world leader in research & discovery. Is now the time to surrender that leadership? If not, what are you doing to prevent it?

My neighborhood this afternoon: welcome to the Anthropocene! (at least winds are relatively favorable so far … and gotta love this fire’s name) #DinosaurFire

The Galapagos are isolated volcanic islands over a hotspot on young, thin lithosphere of the Nazca plate, about 1,000 km from the coast of S America. Home to unique species, and inspiration for the young Charles Darwin. Incredible place. 🧪 #GeologyIsAmazing #EcologyIsAmazingToo

Glacially carved valley in the Ecuadorian Andes, near the city of Cuenca. At an altitude over 10,000’ / 3000 m, today it hosts a beautiful cloud forest full of bromeliads and other epiphytes. 🧪

Happy spring from the Flatirons: a Pennsylvanian-age sandstone/conglomerate made of debris from the ancestral Rocky Mountains, and tilted upward by the Cretaceous-Paleogene Laramide Orogeny. 🧪 #Geology #Geoscience #RockAreAmazing

Congratulations to Benjamin Campforts (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) on his JGR Earth Surface paper "The Art of Landslides" - apparently it's become one of the most frequently downloaded JGR-ES papers of 2022: #geoscience #landslides @csdms.bsky.social
