The one time per week when I'm on a bike and don't have to worry about distracted drivers. Quite ironic that a dynamic sport such as bike polo feels safer than cycling to work. *Not AI generated.

One of North America's largest bird migrations is currently taking place here in College Station. Up to 100,000 Purple Martins roost on and around the @tamu.bsky.social campus and take flight together to feed at sunset. *2nd pic over Kyle Field isn‘t AI! Photoshop composite of a burst shot.

At the GCR’s 2026 CORE School, participants delved into four labs: core description, physical properties, paleomagnetism, and biostratigraphy. Each provides critical pieces of the story we can learn from seafloor cores.

The world so hot that we need a new word for it. In April Japan coined the new term 𝘬𝘰𝘬𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘣𝘪 or “cruelly hot day” for days above 40°C/104°F. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

No matter how determined you are, everybody needs a helping hand sometimes. Especially when you’re smol and the most endangered turtle in the world.

Every time I cross the tracks in our town, named for a train station of all things, I wonder what if. Our flat Texas triangle would be perfect for high speed rail. Bringing communities closer together, reducing traffic and emissions, and undoubtedly boosting the economy. Maybe one day.

Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

„I’d go further and say that, concerning the climate crisis, and professional cycling’s addiction to sponsorship from oil companies, airlines and car manufacturers, there is a rule of silence, as deeply rooted in cycling culture as the old omertá about doping.” www.cyclingweekly.com/news/youre-n...

Hannah is an irreplaceable member of our Bryan-College Station cycling community. She regularly attended our group rides and social gatherings. She was a kind and inspiring person. A great woman taken away by a coward. She'll be sorely missed!

26-year-old Rapp, who challenged for the WBC women’s featherweight championship last month, was riding her bike when a motorist passed her, stopped suddenly, and reversed into her. The driver has been arrested and charged with manslaughter

We keep calling these events 'once in a generation' but in reality, it's unfortunately just this generation's normal now.

Huge plumes of smoke are crossing North America from the intense #wildfires in Canada. The region has seen severe air quality degradation, including in the State of New York, hours ahead of the #WorldCup Final. #CopernicusAtmosphere is closely monitoring: atmosphere.copernicus.eu/extreme-wild...

And that's a wrap. The first @us-sciod.bsky.social undergrad internship just came to an end. Our interns Mav and Gwen absolutely exceeded our expectations and we're excited to see them present their results at #AGU26 in San Francisco. Everyone in the pic helped to make their projects a success 🙌

I might be off a bit but the triangle Uvalde, Sabinal, Concan is ∼173 mi². So this area has seen ∼75 Billion gallons / 285 Billion liters (at 25”) of rain. Roughly the annual water consumption of 2.5 Million average Americans, about the size of Houston proper!

Estimated rainfall through the week over Southwest Texas. As much as 25" to 30" of rain has fallen in the area of Uvalde, Knippa, Sabinal. Catastrophic flooding continues this morning along the Frio & Guadalupe Rivers and surrounding areas. #txwx

The paper provides an exceptionally well-dated, continuous, 66 million year record of past climate. Its chronology serves as a foundational benchmark for reconstructing Earth's past and testing models of future climate. 🍿📈 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Most in our field cite Jacques Cousteau as their inspiration to get into this line of work. I'd love to know who else got pulled in by Jurassic Park but then got "side-tracked" in university and fell in love with marine geology instead.

My privilege to share some lovely stories from the science community about what Sam Neill's timeless performance as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park meant to them—and why it will continue to inspire kids to chase their own discoveries for years to come.
