Visualization for residual time-series data. Vectorized East and North components with Vertical (Up) values color-mapped.

The Vertical and East anomalous signal show agreement in their time of peak values.

Holy shit man, Yamamoto was just robbed of an immaculate inning because the ump decided that a basically middle-middle pitch was a ball.

Actually atrocious. We need robo-umps in the MLB.

Theoretical displacement vs measured in residual GPS time-series.
R = 6371000 m

Using Law of Cosines: (1) calculate initial length (R and R), then (2) displacement length (R and [R + h]), where h is measured vertical (UP) value.

Washington State is being weird.

I cannot for the life of me concentrate on writing my thesis or tying up my research 😩 my is brain telling me to do literally anything else. I'm just pacing the house at this point.

This whole #Trump and #Elon breakup just further proves that we are not a serious country and that other countries should absolutely not take us seriously either.

Anyone abroad looking to hire a geodesist? 🌏😅

Wheeeeew. Longest duration and greatest distance I've done to date!
My knees (left one in particular) are not happy with me.
But, surprisingly, I felt pretty good throughout!

Inaugural University of Nevada Reno geoscience research symposium!

It's been a great time hearing everyone speak passionately about their research.

Eyyyyyy, got my first reject letter for a job application I submitted as a geodesist/geophysicist. How exciting.

Isn't job hunting the best?

Improved geodetic constraint on large-scale multi-decadal mass movements such as ice melt. So very important we get as much out of old data

GMT update: apparently the issue I was having is not from the GMT.jl wrapper, but a bug in GMT itself.
It's always a relief to know that my problem was not solely because I'm a dumbass, but the coding gods testing my resolve.

Why is GMT.jl being such a pain in my ass today? It refuses to plot data in a single area of my map even though it has data and I'm not clipping any regions...

It's probably because it knows I have a presentation this week. 🫠

What better way to follow up a successful run than with a tasty beer. I will admit that the color of this beer is a bit off-putting. Lol

This marks the first run where I did not stop to walk. Granted, I ran on this very smooth, and easy to run on track. But, it's still an accomplishment!
