We just experienced the most extreme case! An AE asked a reviewer who *never submitted their first review* to re-review our revised MS πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«. The impact of stuff like this on time to publication really impacts both phd students and TT faculty in a way that cannot be overstated.

High‐Resolution Channel Geometry Reveals Contrasting Styles of Gravel River Adjustment You have to enable JavaScript in your browser's settings in order to use the eReader.

New paper out now! PhD Robert Kostynick uses a new automated tool for measuring river width to reveal new styles of river channel adjustment to local changes in channel slope in concave and knickpoint-bearing river channels. Give it a read!

Watch this space for Cesar's ongoing work, where we're modeling how the timing and magnitude of the next megathrust EQ will affect wave energy delivery and coastal retreat across Cascadia. Here's a sneak peek at some preliminary model output πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Hot off the presses!

PhD Student Cesar Lopez leads a new paper from our group focused on the role of tectonic uplift in buffering coastal retreat over decadal timescales and the potentially under recognized role of EQs over millennia.

Ugh, both of these stories are awful for your postdoc and so so frustrating. How can we have such high demands for productivity and at the same time let things languish in purgatory for so long?

Even if we are just particularly unlucky, the system isn't working, especially for ECRs

The entire thing is so baffling, the 1st review was so minor we were able to reply within 48 hours with a <4 page response.

It feels so unfair that my student may get a brand new review +130 days after submission for a journal that boasts an average time to decision of 33 days...πŸ‘€

These sorts of delays really suck for EC people, especially students that are close to graduation and looking for their next gig.

Why ghost a first review request and then accept the request to review a revision?

Why request someone who ghosted the review in the first place to review again? πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
