One of the top 5 most-read articles for #GSABulletin this month is "Turbidite correlation for paleoseismology" by Nora M. Nieminski and colleagues. It is #OpenAccess at doi.org/10.1130/B37343.1. #Paleoseismology #Cascadia #GSAPubs Image: Fig. 1 from paper.

New paper out now in Geology w/ co-authors @zzsylvester, @RiversToRocks, and @peteflaig exploring linkages between river avulsions and their 3-D stratigraphic architecture in the ancient sedimentary record: doi.org/10.1130/G52254.1

Research professors from our @Bureau3E's @ClasticsLab adapted an algorithm that's frequently used in voice recognition software to compare geological samples.
Their results are raising questions about the earthquake record of Cascadia.

Excited to see our work published this week in @JSedimentology! We use high-res acoustic reflection data from the northern GoM inner continental shelf to explore coastal stratigraphic preservation during marine transgression @LittleBigGeo @SeanGulick @txgeosciences @UTGeophysics
Subsurface fluvial deposits as viable repositories of sediment for coastal restoration?

Had a blast working w/ the @OpenTopography team this summer. Thanks to @crosbycj, @vnandigam and the rest of the team for the opportunity. Looking forward to sharing what we built together soon!
OT hosted two talented interns this summer via the @UNAVCO Student Internship Program. @ColeSpeed is working on a PhD in Geological Sciences at U. Texas, Austin. Cole developed Notebooks (coming soon!) to enable access & processing of USGS 3DEP #lidar: unavco.org/news/intern-spotl… 1/2

I had a lot of fun on this one: turning river meandering into sound using @zzsylvester’s #meanderpy model together with #ipytone & #ipycanvas.
Make sure to turn on the audio on the video below to hear the river channel sinuosity and the cutoff events!
