(2012).

This is a big one, literally. New paper out in Geomorphology: we use multi-geometry Sentinel-1 InSAR to unravel the internal kinematic segmentation of a 55 km² deep-seated landslide in the NW Himalaya. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #DRR #InSAR #Sentinel-1 #landslide

Echinus Geyser is back in action! For now… The world’s largest acidic geyser is located in Norris Geyser Basin. Lately, it’s been putting on quite a show.

SP Crater is located about 15 miles from where I type this. Like many other northern Arizona geologic features, it has been used as an astronaut training and planetary surface activities simulation location since Apollo days.

Hi, I'm Andy, a junior from Brown. Join me this week as I take over #RiceEEPS social media on the 2026 Undergraduate Johnson field trip.

Can you guess where we chose this year?

Left. extract from Strickland's 1845 paper 'On certain Calcareo-corneous Bodies found in the outer chambers of Ammonites' which begins by acknowledging Mary Anning; right portrait of Strickland as a young man, seated and holding an open book.

2 March 1811, Reighton, Yorkshire: birth of geologist and naturalist Hugh Strickland. In 1841 #MaryAnning drew his attention to a feature of ammonite shells which she thought were ink sacs but were in fact aptychi, plates used for closing off the aperture of the shell. #MolluscMonday

Looks so tasty!

Yikes!

Go for it!

Love all the arts classes!

Yeah! I am truly impressed by the variety this question invoked!

😍

Thanks, Bill!

Damn, bro!

Nevermind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

Linear Algebra
Nuclear Physics (don’t ask)
Engineering Geology
Optical Mineralogy
Field Geology

Congratulations, Robert!

Congratulations, Tim! How exciting! Wishing you the very best.

Horrifying!

A timely resource. Thank you, Peggy!

Cutting edge science- fascinating! Thank you!

Holy cow!

Love it!

Thank you!

Well, I’m no expert, but it seems that’s a bit far off for all of the phenomena you experienced! Amazing!

It would be interesting to estimate the “as the crow flies” distance from where you were that moment, and MSH. You can use Google Maps, on a desktop or mobile app. I have the instructions if you need them.

Holy cow! What a visceral moment! Thanks for sharing it!

Scary, Randy, but love that you keep the family history of that eruption! Great recounting of their reaction! Thank you!

Yikes! That you heard MSH’s is amazing. BTW, you’re not wrong about California. Many towns are within susceptible distance to volcanic hazards from potential future Lassen eruptions.

My cousin doesn’t have a scanner, unfortunately, so she took a picture of the picture for me. If I ever get a hold of the original, I certainly will! Thanks, Andrew!
