Messed around and created the second largest gully inventory in the world (that I know of).

Paper looks great. Can't wait to read it.

Evolution of Loess Tablelands in the Central Great Plains: Relief Generation by Loess Accumulation and the Importance of Closed Depressions Loess tableland evolution reflects the interaction of loess accumulation generating relief and erosion in response to that relief Tableland erosion using fluvial processes is limited by closed de...

Happy (in spite of everything) to share our new paper on loess tablelands, mesa-like landforms of highly erodible sediment, that persist without a resistant caprock for tens of thousands of years, if not longer. Why? 1/5 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Little Lake OR - the research gift that keeps on giving. This time in this new paper by Miles Reed @wvgeomorph.bsky.social on 'Climatic controls on soil production, transport and chemical erosion: Insights from modelling topography, soils and cosmogenic nuclides at Little Lake, Oregon'

ArcPy is trash.

Next week at the #GSA2025, I'll be presenting my newly developed Python tool, 𝒑𝒚𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒆𝑹𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓. We apply it to quantitatively re-examine the correlatability of Cascadia deep-water turbidites, previously interpreted as synchronous deposits of paleo-earthquakes.

Anne’s talk in EP33D on novel materials in urban streams

Andreas poster in H33L on trashy stream species and habitats

Suffiyan's poster in EP31F on urban sediment transport

Kayleigh's poster on quantifying trash flux and geomorphic change around large trash

Todays the big day for my watershed lab group at #AGU24. One morning poster, two afternoon posters and one afternoon talk! Come learn what we're learning about urban sediment and trash!

I’m recruiting graduate students and a postdoc to work on a range of hydrology topics- from water quality in agricultural landscapes to critical zone process (a)synchrony! Interested? Let’s chat at #AGU24!!!

Desert Racers Demolish Art Carved by Ancient People in Chile Preservationists say governments at all levels have failed to prevent authorized and illegal off-road racers from driving through giant figures of animals, humans and objects.

Off-road vehicles racing through Chile's Atacama Desert have destroyed ancient geoglyphs over decades of competitions. Authorities have been unable to stop them. The images of the damage are striking.

The US Federal Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with the country's most expensive new federal prison on a geologically complicated and geotechnically undesirable abandoned coal mine site in remote, flood-ravaged, and landslide-prone Letcher County, KY.

Two deforming mountaintop removal coal mining valley fills in Pike Co., KY. Satellite image (slightly shifted) shows the houses below.

Confession: I don't use *any* reference manager. I've tried various ones numerous times over the years, but nothing stuck. I just get it done. When I told some grad students this recently they looked at me like I was an alien. But, hey, papers get submitted, papers get published, I'm fine with it.
