I’m dismayed at the news yesterday out of Oklahoma – the violent storm that ended lives. This morning on Facebook, I noticed that many of my pious friends were letting the rest of us know that they were praying for Oklahoma, or more specifically, for the victims of the storm. At the same time, the hashtag #prayforoklahoma is trending on Twitter with all sorts of people dropping that phrase into …

You can see the multiple suction vortices in the tornado. I think this video may have some very high scientific value.

...Daddy doesn't sleep at night. I'm not entirely clear on how squeeze-ups form, but I can generally recognize them. My understanding is that once the lava becomes confined within the exterior shell or crust- essentially, a lava tube that hasn't drained- more lava erupted at the top of the flow increases the pressure lower in the tube. If there is a fracture or joint in the area experiencing the increased pressure, the lava squeezes up and out, like toothpaste from a tube.Photo run through […]

The initial intent of the CORK was to develop a way to collect in situ data about the fluids that travel in the deep sea sediments and rock. In order to get an accurate picture of what is going on in the subseafloor environment, there was a need to engineer a tool that could prevent sea water to flow in and allow the natural processes to restore to normal …hence the CORK idea.

The western portion of the Orcas Island has stands of Rocky Mountain juniper (rarest-forest-in-western-washington) and the species is scattered about other parts of the San Juan Islands and the islands of Skagit County (lopez-island-rocky-mountain-junipers). The species is also present on the east slopes of the Cascades near Chelan. On a recent trip to Orcas Island I spotted a particularly tall specimen growing out of a bedrock bluff along the shoreline. I estimated it to be 45 feet

Two weeks ago today Evan and I hosted a different kind of session at the Canada GeoConvention. It was an experiment in collaboration and integration, and I'm happy to say it exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be doing it again, so if you were there, or even if you weren't, any and all feedback will help ensure the dial goes to 11.
One of the things we wanted from the session was evidence. Evidence of conversation, innovation, and creative thinking. We took home a great roll of paper

I’m sure you’ve already seen the sad news about the tornado in Oklahoma - it looks like it has done a lot of damage and claimed a lot of lives. Tornadoes are not uncommon in that area and it is almost impossible to make good forecasts of where they will hit as they are too small for computer […]
