Great kickoff workshop for the launch of the #Sandpiper project! It was a real pleasure to be invited as a panelist—and a special treat to return to my beloved St. Anthony Falls Lab. I’ve missed that place!
Excited to follow the progress of Sandpiper and its incredible team of PIs!
A sediment slice through sand that was deposited in the tank during one of the experiments. Normal faulting developed in alternating layers of dark- and light-colored sediment
The original mini-tank, designed and built by Jim Mullin, that was used to test and demonstrate how removing gravel could be used to generate arbitrary subsidence patterns
Another detail of a beautiful sediment slice
Under the tank you can see the tubes that were used to transport the gravel to create the desired subsidence patterns
Yesterday I got a tour of the eXperimental Earth Scape facility, also known as Jurassic Tank, at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory. Even though the tank has not been used since 2015, a lot of the data from it is available and it is an important piece in the history of sedimentary geoscience
