I can't find very much info on the corals that are found within the Bois D'Arc formation so I have been comparing what I found with similar examples from the Kalkberg formation of New York which is of equivalent age. I found numerous examples of a [...]

Scientific Conferences on a Budget

The Way of the Geophysicist [2016-04-10 16:36:36]   recommend this post  (676 visits)

Conferences are an important part of the world of science and technology. We get to publish preliminary results and bounce them off of our colleagues (or sometimes strongest competitors). It’s time for networking and also helps to take a break [...]

New papers on paleoseismology, tsunami, and active tectonics (Apr 2016)

So this thing happened yesterday. California, despite near-normal amounts of precipitation this year, is still in the grip of a long-term drought. The first part of March was wet, but for the last three weeks the rain ceased entirely, like someone [...]

Small quake in Intermountain Seismic Belt south of Utah
