I completed my 401st peer review please clap. Based on 120ish peer reviewed pubs this is about 3.33 reviews per paper published. In my AE roles today I estimate 15-20 invitations to get 2 reviews per paper. 1/2

Last one - Mt Rainier from the Space Needle on Thursday afternoon. Nice orographic clouds - maybe von Karman vortices? Wind from the south (R-L in the photo). Thanks for a great visit Seattle- until next time

“The market is starting to see that this might be a prolonged conflict that might have more or less permanent changes in how oil flows out of that part of the world,” [Daigle] said. Not great! www.marketplace.org/story/2026/0...

*Hank Williams Jr voice* Are ya ready for more slashes?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump: "We drained the beautiful 'Reflecting Pool' today in order to fix the scars and damage that was done by the Vandals 2 weeks ago. We wanted to wait until after July 4. The slashes were 300 yards long, and the floor of the pool was cut and then pulled upward, with great force, by these thugs."
I don’t know what Switzerland can do to tie this game but their flag certainly is a big plus
“Hey Hugh, when will gas prices come down?” Labor Day at best.
I am more bullish about CCS than many of my peers but this is a stunning chart about our inability to predict how technologies can evolve. At this point, I think it's up to the proponents of CCS to prove that the technology can scale up. projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-c...
I’m a soft rock geologist, but what I remember learning in grad school is the faults in N Venezuela are like the San Andreas but oriented E-W. Max magnitude if the whole brittle layer (lithosphere) ruptures is 7.5-8. This is what that looks like.

Gasoline prices will not come down soon because of infrastructure damage to Persian Gulf facilities and uncertainty in whatever these negotiations bring. And I’m glad my wild-ass guess of gas prices aligned with what another of Max’s sources said! 😅 All this and more: abcnews.com/amp/Business...

I deleted a post earlier but F it - this regime is at odds with the health and wellbeing of its population. My children have received the full course of this vaccine. It is safe, full stop. This makes me so angry.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 2mo agoRFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.
Waxing crescent moon and Venus seen while taking out the trash, Hyde Park ATX. Love how the long camera exposure captured the full moon face illuminated by earthglow. My dad calls this “the old moon in the new moon’s arms”

I’ve got some thoughts on the strategic petroleum reserve! But not good, as usual. Are we cooked? Probably, but not for a few weeks.

Your quote for today: Daigle said it’s more of a slow-moving crisis. And the main threat to consumers is a drastic change in price. “As we keep drawing down the reserve, you're really limiting your ability to further control the prices that people are paying for refined products.”

Had a great time hosting everybody here at our workshop last week! Scientific ocean drilling is at a crossroads right now but we hope to keep pushing the science forward.

It’s amazing how fast we went from “we need more transmission in Texas to diversify electricity sources and meet demand” in the wake of Uri & summer 2024 to “we just need more natural gas generation.” Short memories, y‘all. www.kxan.com/energy-cross...

This conflict started over 2 months ago, and that’s why it’ll take months to years for prices to come down whenever it ends. Tankers are slow and the earth is big.
