Scientific Conferences on a Budget

The Way of the Geophysicist [2016-04-10 16:36:36]   recommend this post  (1145 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 [...]

Streptelasma (Enterolasma) strictum ? coral from the Bois D'Arc formation of Oklahoma.

Views of the Mahantango [2016-04-10 09:01:00]   recommend this post  (1140 visits)

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 [...]

Flowers, Folds, and Floods on the Way to Yosemite

This is the April edition of my paper round-up. Today I recommend papers on high-resolution topography data, fault mechanics, earthquake environmental/archaeological effects (liquefaction, rotated objects, landslides), Quaternary dating, a fault [...]

The Richest Mineral Resources in Death Valley: Isolation and Gullibility

Geotripper [2016-04-15 06:15:00]   recommend this post  (1043 visits)

A great many dreams lie broken in the rock and gravel expanses of Death Valley National Park. The California Gold Rush had brought hundreds of thousands of people to the state in the 1850s, and though few of them ever actually became rich, there was [...]
