Hoosier the Bison meet Omar Otter Jr. spotted by the IMU @idsnews.bsky.social
Good opportunity to point out a memoir of a giant in our field. Was a great read during grad school. Reminded me that I could be studying geomorphology under very different circumstances: uapress.arizona.edu/book/sand-wi...
Pretty sure that ‘colloquially’ people don’t think of composition when they hear ‘gravel’ or ‘clay’ either
And regelation is an igneous process.

What a year. What an end. #cignatty #hoohoohoohoosiers #IU
Amazing! And jealous! (Though we did had season tickets this year. It’s been so fun!)
Take that U. of Chicago! We now have as many Heisman Trophies as you! #heismendoza
I guess I’m not driving to Lexington, KY Friday morning

![4-panel comic. (1) PERSON 1: We haven’t checked in on the geology department for a while. I wonder if they’re doing okay. (2) PERSON 2 with ponytail: I’ll go see what they’re up to.

Ah, yes a rock from the Middle-Absurdian Period on Mars...
🥳🥳🥳 Thrilled to be part of this new effort to connect flood hazards to health risks through community-engaged research linking hydrology, microbiology, anthropology and data science.
We’re seeking PhD students + postdocs eager to dive in to this convergent research!
Awesome! Congrats!!
In the news at IU: Dr. Brian Yanites (@geomorphyuggs.bsky.social) is a principal investigator in the new Center for Land Surface Hazards, sponsored by NSF. Press release and more details: news.iu.edu/live/news/46...
Big news today! Super excited to be a part of this new initiative. Lots to come, so stay tuned! And follow @clashgeohazards.bsky.social !!!
I'd love to get/use induction, but I'm one of the people who can hear the high-pitched tone when they're cooking. It makes my skin crawl (like my ultrasonic tanks in the lab).
