A new collaboration between Emriver, maker of high-quality hydrologic models & SERC, your go-to source for pedagogical resources, has launched a dynamic new hub to collect, share, & expand teaching materials related to Emriver flumes & stream tables. Check it out: serc.carleton.edu/emriver/inde...

Hey folks! Was just made aware of this website that's "selling" Parks passes and USGS maps (which are always free in digital form). Just a reminder that legit government websites ALWAYS end in .gov, and you can only purchase NPS passes from the official NPS and USGS sites.

Did t expect to see a whole-ass bus at the car charging station. I think it’s brand new and being delivered somewhere from across the country.

Album cover for a scary seeming band your older sibling listens to and then you finally play the album one day and it’s just ska

This week, the 2026 Teacher/Research and Curriculum Experience (TRACX), a step-child of the long-running School of Rock, is taking place at the Gulf Coast Repository. Ten teachers and three researchers are teaming up to advance SciOD research while creating classroom resources.

NPR lays off its chief climate editor There's no conspiracy — just another newsroom making a poor decision @sammyroth.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/climatec...

The geologist James Hutton was born in Edinburgh 300 years ago tomorrow. Two slices of Scottish geology I (an ecologist) have enjoyed studying. The Moine Thrust Mylonites at Faraid Head, Balnakeil Bay and lichens on a basalt dyke in Lewisian gneiss, Raasay.

Well, we had a good run of good news for 15hrs yesterday….

The money was always there for the good things.

My body is communicating clearly that 2 plums in one day is too much of a good thing.

Off to great start on some field work out west! I’m exploring the volcanic/plutonic relationships among some of Nevada’s coolest old mining sites. A highlight reel so far (1) altered andesites (2) altered granites (3) smushed ash layers.

This is the science equivalent of paying companies $1 billion not to build an offshore wind farm when there's an energy crisis

America is racing towards willful obsolescence: “the National Science Foundation is removing 900 ocean data collecting buoys that cost $370 million to install. If left in place, the buoys would have continued to provide climate-related data …for another 15 years” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

It’s been a good day

Everything's fine

If this is true — if it only took a judge demanding briefing and some light pushback — then it really shows how contemptibly cultish and cowardly the GOP was when most of them were fine with it.

Awesome. Did the smoker come as a kit or is it your own build?

Gorgeous, again

One of these days I'll make some more mineral pride flags. Here's one I made a few years back (check the alt text for specimen details)

Calling all Scientists! Research Administrators! Deans! Fans of Science! No one is coming to save us. Here is your assignment. I have written a step by step, easy to understand "how-to" document to help you comment on the proposed OMB rule. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/what-we-ne...

The good news day keeps on chugging along!

Guys, I just picked 5 gallons of plums and my tree was like “You did??”

Running 1.5miles of bleachers (~450’+/-) in the late morning sun when it’s 85F is a reasonable training mission for our backpacking trip in 3 weeks.

Happy Dinosaur Day! If you've been to the Museum in the past few days, you might have noticed a new dinosaur. Introducing our very own scale model of a Velifrons, a type of hadrosaur! It was made for us by Andrew Bovenzi, a recent graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Can’t wait to dive into this. @weatherwest.bsky.social had mentioned this effect several times during our March heat wave and this explainer ought to be great.

There is a surprisingly strong correlation between spring temperatures in Anchorage and temperatures during the following summer. This spring had an average temperature of 31.4F. @alaskawx.bsky.social

This is absolutely bullshit. My NSF postdoc was a game changer for me and set me up to be where I am currently at. I owe so much to that program.

What an absolute legend this vessel is and forever will be. I was fortunate enough to go on three expeditions (2012, 2018, 2023). I snapped this pic in Oct 2023 (at the end of Exp400) in Reykjavík. We disembarked and were about to board that bus to drive away and I stepped aside for a moment 🥲

Press release on our new paper in @commsearth.nature.com on marine deoxygenation during the end-Triassic mass extinction. It has some nice pictures of the spectacular field area and video we did after we finished the 2022 field season. ⚒️🧪#NSFfunded

NEW OPEN ACCESS PAPER NOW OUT! Using 3D seismic reflection and borehole data, we reveal the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous structural evolution of the South Viking Graben, Northern North Sea. It's good to keep testing those Gawthorpe & Leeder (2000) models! 😀 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

First freeze of the summer.

"The story of the Alaska bovine breeding bust that left UAF students dining in disgust." That's the title of my latest article and don't you want to read it now!

It is time to launch Two Skies Ltd.'s Rock and Gemstone Museum!⚒ Adam 'Two Skies' McIntosh will be on hand to welcome visitors and guide them through his impressive collection of rocks, minerals and fossils. 🦴

LOL. Poor UCLA.

If you e never seen a mousse in person, it’s hard to convey the sense of scale.

As a Cal Poly grad, really rooting for St Mary’s r/n to end UCLA’s season.

Look at this bestest boy wondering why @xenolith.bsky.social interrupted his bug chasing time. His ears are freshly fuzzy thanks to a shampoo and conditioning yesterday.

Come along for a coach tour to Siccar Point to explore the new Deep Time Trail and become inspired by creative responses to James Hutton’s ideas. 💡 Coach tickets are £20 + booking fee. 🎟Booking is essential at: www.trybooking.com/uk/events/la...? #ScotGeolFest26 #ScottishGeology

holy shit nobody has ever answered a question worse

Why do stories like this come from science, and not like, accounting? Science is one area where we give humans time and space to think about and understand something real about the world. We know how jellyfish glow! Amazing! And now when we need something glowing, we can think like jellyfish.

Just about 800mi from the North Pole, Longyearbyen will host the @us-sciod.bsky.social Exp403 postcruise meeting this week. It's great to see valleys carved by the same glaciers that our expedition analyzes, the debris of the former mountains ending up as ice-rafted debris in our sediment cores.

@phaneritic.bsky.social this reminds me of the security person at the Jackson airport.

🚨We have a full Canseco alert🚨

San Antonio and New York City are finally gonna put it all on the line and determine which city makes the best salsa

My darling.

i feel like they were going for something different than why i took the photo
