With fall semester approaching, I'm always interested in great sed structures-- a few for those eolian lectures... #eolian #aeolian #windripples #grainflow
Students, if you’re thinking about dropping a note to that teacher or professor about what their class/project/mentorship has meant to you, but you worry it will be cringe or cheesy, let me just tell you they will coast on the fuzzy feelings prompted by that note for months, if not years

I read every edition of this newsletter. Excellent reflections and once in a while we get really lucky and Will includes some draft/process/revision examples the likes of which I have yet to see in anyone else's newsletter. You should consider getting on the mailing list.
Will Willoughby@willwilloughby.bsky.social · 3mo agoJust sent out my newsletter, which includes reflections on things like rejection, mental slowness, and other writing topics. It’s fun! If you’re interested, sign up on my site: www.willwilloughby.com #AmWriting
If you believe that science is important, for our economy and our ability to innovate into the future, this is a good week to call your Senators and House of Reps and ask them to find a way to provide oversight over the President’s actions against the National Science Foundation.

Made some videos with @certainty-aci.bsky.social about the climate impact of clouds and aerosols. And you can check out the first one here 👇
Our climate is surprisingly sensitive to these tiny particles

Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras (top right & bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun. 🧪🔭 #Artemis www.nasa.gov/image-articl...
Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
USA TODAY@usatoday.com · 8mo agoExclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

At first glance through the interminable TOC of the latest Geophysical Research Letters I misread the title of this paper and was briefly buoyed by the thought of GRLs' foray into women's health.

The perplexing (to me, anyway) phenomenon of laminated loess deposits (Bignell Hill, Nebraska)
I love finding tiny asters that manage to elude the high blades of late summer mowers.
A tiny but tangible example of how government dysfunction degrades educational opportunities. NP closures meant replacing hikes with road cuts. Still, no one can take away the beauty of NM sunsets
Another great day on the rocks, culminating in another New Mexican sunset.

It's eolian time. How about some small-scale eolian sand stratification (grain flows, grain fall, and translatent; from the Miocene of Argentina) contrasted with the lack of any such features (other than conchoidal fracturing) in this massive loessite (Permian of Colorado).
