New seafloor mapping offshore Alaska in the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone! #USGS #NOAA #MarineGeohazards 🧪⚒️🌊

Yes, yes I do want to see this new geologic map!

Can forests damp earthquake waves and thus limit co-seismic landslides? What does this mean for Critical Zone development? Postdoctoral position with Will Struble and a multi-disciplinary team (including me🌲🌲🌊🌳🪾). Position is open until filled. willstruble.com #CZScience #Postdoc

Does anyone know a way to project terrace location and elevations onto a river long profile, both of which were done without using Matlab/Python/R? Basically a GIS based framework?

The 21 July 2025 rock avalanche in the Matia'an valley in Wanrong, east Taiwan is generating a lake that could have a volume of 86 million cubic metres at the point of overtopping. This poses a threat to at least seven downstream communities. eos.org/thelandslide...

shamelessly made a bluesky account so I could plug my first first-author paper (!) on postfire erosion in steep rocky catchments -- go check her out! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

NISAR has lifted off! And been successfully placed in its orbit! Good job, ISRO! Woohoo!

Although large earthquakes generates strong shaking over a wide area, this is somewhat mitigated by the rupture being offshore. But if the rupture breaks the ocean floor, it generates destructive a tsunami that can spread across the ocean basin in the hours that follow.

NISAR LAUNCHED!!! congrats to all those involved!

If proposal success rates are going to start looking like the probabilities of winning some money from lottery "scratchers", might as well just make grant money a lottery. Would save us all a lot of time.

More Hells Canyon coverage - this time an interview with @sfgate.com www.sfgate.com/national-par...

Seeing Blatten buried again and again, from every angle... Properly staggering! 😮😱

🚨New Paper🚨 @rockiceandsnow.bsky.social and others (including myself) quantify the evolution of North America's deepest canyon (sorry, Grand Canyon, it's not you).

After 15 years of thinking and work, I'm very proud to share that I finally know how old Hells Canyon - the deepest fluvial gorge in North America is - ~2.1 Ma. For more details see our recent article in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Excited to see @nature.com covering my recent article in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Happy to see so much coverage of my recent research published in @pnas.org

I stand with Ukraine, and the people of Ukraine. THAT was not who we are as Americans... 🇺🇦

Proud to be a GSA member 🌎🪨⚒️🧪

Winter fully in force here in the #Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah.

New study in PNAS: Apollo samples reveal that KREEP, the magma left after the #Moon was >99% solidified, formed 4.43 billion years ago. 🌘 This implies the Moon was born no later than ca. 140 My after the solar system’s birth. 🧪 ⚒️ @eth-eaps.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Even when the structure is simple, there's something very satisfying about putting together a geologic cross-section that incorporates well data and outcrop data #fieldgeology #UtahGeoSurvey

Yesterday was a not-so-subtle reminder that winter is a magical season.

On Monday we filed a zoning text amendment in Salt Lake City to launch our Starter Homes SLC campaign. This bold campaign aims to promote housing affordability by creating pathways for more housing options. Learn more at the link below and join our fight for housing abundance! 🏠🏡 #yimby #slc

Hi there, I work on earthquake hazard-related questions in Oregon, and I'm based in Portland. I'm here to be in community with folks interested in geosciences, history, archaeology, philosophy, punk/metal, cycling, yoga, dogs, and parenting.

Relative elevation model of Powder River near Broadus, Montana. So fun to see the floodplain features pop with a bit of color!

Disaster is a function of three things: exposure, vulnerability, and hazard. As climate change pushes up the hazard rates for wildfire, flood, hurricane & more, lack of adaptation and maladaptation on the part of both public and private entities is increasing vulnerability.

🔥New paper alert! 🔥 Jacky Austermann and I show that simultaneous Antarctic collapse + Laurentide persistence during the Last Interglacial (130,000 - 115,000 years ago) could explain the local sea level oscillation observed in the Bahamas, Seychelles, Australia, and elsewhere. tinyurl.com/yjj7w2mr 🧵

@subfossilguy.bsky.social inspired me to dig out some photos for #fieldphotofriday for when I worked near the Perito Moreno #Glacier in 2007 with @mikekapglacier.bsky.social, Jorge Strelin, Sam Kelley, and others. ⚒️🧪🥼❄️🌊

More amazing river data. Relative Elevation Model #REM of the San Juan River thru Bluff Utah, making use of @opentopography.bsky.social 's code. These visualizations and data help me map alluvial units. (opentopography.org/blog/new-pac...)

Had some amazing field geology days earlier in Utah with the #UGS #GeologicMapping Group. Looking at Mesozoic/Paleozoic, and Cenozoic strata all in one day.

Heard at #AGU24 "The Miocene is the Future" ⚒️

📣 Request for signal boost! Calling all woman of color working in or studying near-surface geophysics at AGU24 this week! Connect with colleagues tomorrow (Wednesday) for an informal lunchtime social. Reach out to kmkeat at rutgers dot edu asap for details. ⚒️🧪 #Geophysics #WomenInScience #AGU24

Some cool images of particles being captured by an N95 respirator. "The 'big'' crystals are about 1.5 microns. The smaller captured particles are as small viruses like COVID." ( threadreaderapp.com/thread/18654... ). 🧪🧵1/

Another glorious day in the Wasatch Backcountry. The start to another season of ski touring. Still figuring out how to use Bsky....

It would be very nerdy to point out that from the player’s perspective that would not be a strike slip beach ball, right? 🧪⚒️

I guess I may be back? Its all about bluesky now. www.vox.com/technology/3...

For those watching NBC's coverage of the Olympics, get a VPN and tune into the BBC so see how other countries watch these sports WITH NO commercials...

New paper out by Kelin Whipple, @transient-earth.bsky.social, myself, and Kip Hodges on the relationship between tectonics, climate, topography, and erosion rate in the Himalaya.

VERY cool fully remote GS-12 Hydrologist position with the National Park Service. www.usajobs.gov/job/792923900 "Leads, designs, and conducts comprehensive hydrologic, hydraulic, or geomorphic investigations"

As a non-stratigrapher, found a lot of cool stratigraphy in SE Utah while doing field work this week. 1) Jur. Morrisson/ K. Burro canyon contact. 2) Burro Canyon coarse sands. 3) nice quaternary arroyo cut seds. #FieldworkFriday

Take this feeds, feel good photos from trail running in the Uber green wasatch foothills with #haukthewonderdog and friends!

Injecting some fun animals from my run yesterday on the Jordan River Trail into this feed.

Happy Earth Day folks!

Lovely walk out this morning with #HauktheWonderDog
