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
Colleague Dr. Karen Alley in the @RiddellFaculty visited our field site at Oldupai Gorge in Tanzania while on vacation - here's a link to an article she wrote about her experience @GSciencesUofM @umanitoba

DAWN
Tracing the Nature of Early Human Life
An international workshop funded by @UCalgary and @umanitoba to build a revolutionary platform with three overarching aims:
1) Removing barriers to discovery through equitable research
2) Balancing the intellectual frameworks from Africa, Europe, and North America to deploy high-level technologies and data science methodologies
3) Conducting breakthrough research in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Spain, and Canada

ALT Elang'ata Oljurusi, Fluvial sediments from Lower/Middle Bed II. Orange tuffaceous layer in the foreground was deposited in a lacustrine environment and lies 3 m above Tuff IF
ALT Lacustrine sediments from Bed IV: Contact with Bed III is immediately below the foreground, while the limestone all the way up top is the Masek. Middle Pleistocene Transition, 0.9-0.8Ma
