Visualization for residual time-series data. Vectorized East and North components with Vertical (Up) values color-mapped.

The Vertical and East anomalous signal show agreement in their time of peak values.

Animation made with #JuliaLang and the GMT.jl package.

We're not gonna win many when Ohtani, Freeman, and Betts go 1 for 12 collectively 🫠

Holy shit man, Yamamoto was just robbed of an immaculate inning because the ump decided that a basically middle-middle pitch was a ball.

Actually atrocious. We need robo-umps in the MLB.

Theoretical displacement vs measured in residual GPS time-series.
R = 6371000 m

Using Law of Cosines: (1) calculate initial length (R and R), then (2) displacement length (R and [R + h]), where h is measured vertical (UP) value.

Washington State is being weird.

I cannot for the life of me concentrate on writing my thesis or tying up my research 😩 my is brain telling me to do literally anything else. I'm just pacing the house at this point.

This whole #Trump and #Elon breakup just further proves that we are not a serious country and that other countries should absolutely not take us seriously either.

Anyone abroad looking to hire a geodesist? πŸŒπŸ˜…

So conflicted. Glad the Padre's lost because the Dodgers are going to lose tonight, but this means I'm rooting for the Giants?

Obviously modern genres like rock & hip-hop don't have the long history of classical music, but it is understood that "rock" is just an umbrella term that encompasses sub-genres (grunge, punk, etc...)

Same thing applies to classical defined by certain epochs (romantic, baroque, etc..), right?

My heart rate average is way off for some reason. Based on my Polar chest strap, the average should be 169bpm. Not sure why the discrepancy.

Wheeeeew. Longest duration and greatest distance I've done to date!
My knees (left one in particular) are not happy with me.
But, surprisingly, I felt pretty good throughout!

Inaugural University of Nevada Reno geoscience research symposium!

It's been a great time hearing everyone speak passionately about their research.

My name is on the right hand side under "People".

I also have some of my research posted on my profile too.

Thanks! πŸ™‚

Eyyyyyy, got my first reject letter for a job application I submitted as a geodesist/geophysicist. How exciting.

Isn't job hunting the best?

Improved geodetic constraint on large-scale multi-decadal mass movements such as ice melt. So very important we get as much out of old data

GMT update: apparently the issue I was having is not from the GMT.jl wrapper, but a bug in GMT itself.
It's always a relief to know that my problem was not solely because I'm a dumbass, but the coding gods testing my resolve.
