Need a break from teaching???
Why not have a class viewing of my Landscapes Live talk?
Topics are landscape evolution, weathering, landslides, reading signals in deposited sediment

Thanks to @ritaparai.bsky.social for a spectacular public lecture at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. She makes a strong case for measuring noble gasses in the atmosphere of Venus.

Behind the mast is an array of three solar panels with a large tan plastic case that contains batteries, a GNSS receiver, and other electronics. A house and a trees fill the background. This permanent GNSS site was installed after the M7.1 Anchorage earthquake in 2018.
A while cylindrical antenna mast with a white GNSS antenna on top sits on a grassy ridge. In the distance, a yellow tripod holds another GNSS antenna. Ocean and mountains stretch off in the distance. This campaign GNSS site (yellow trip) and continuous GNSS site (white mast) were installed after the 2021 M8.2 Chignik earthquake offshore the Alaska Peninsula.
For #FieldworkFriday, I want to highlight the critical role of NSFβs RAPID funding mechanism. RAPID grants have allowed me to quickly get equipment out in the field and recording irreplaceable data after M7.1 (in 2018) and M8.2 (in 2021) earthquakes along the Alaska subduction zone. 1/3

Not like anything else happened today, right?

Iβm such a public transit nerd. Iβm almost giddy that I get to sample a new bus system (Fairfax County) when a great bus driver rescued me and my bike with a flat tire.
