Our Introduction to Oceanography class took a 5-day field trip to The Ocean, visiting some spectacular spots near Big Sur and Monterey. Some major storm systems battered the coast while we were there, so the weather was.... epic. But so was the geology, biology and oceanography 🙂.

A couple of SES undergrad and grad classes have recently ventured to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado to learn about fundamental geological processes that have shaped this spectacular range. The fall foliage wasn't bad either :)

NAU SES scientists just finished 11 glorious days of lake coring and glacial geologic mapping around Turquoise Lake in Lake Clark National Park, western Alaska Range. Good weather, hard work, and epic landscapes => an unforgettable field season. #NAU_geology, #NAU_environsci, #NAU_climate

The community grants are a great option if you're looking to fund a workshop/training. ⚒️

The budget bill passed by the house would dramatically increase the national debt because huge tax breaks for the wealthy will cost much more than 'savings' from cuts to essential programs Let's hope the senate has the sense to fix this.

These actions weaken science, harm public health & the environment, and threaten national security. 🧵 #StandWithScience
