Once-in-career selection of my photo for cover of @pnas.org from Jan article on volcanic critical zone makes it well worth the $80 for poster-sized print.

It’s comforting to know that when my five year old runs out of teeth to sell to the tooth fairy he’ll still have the can money revenue stream.

Trump’s Cuts Come With Risks. Including From Volcanoes. (Gift Article) A spending freeze could disrupt systems that warn communities when eruptions appear imminent.

US volcanoes pose a very real threat to communities and aircraft. Cutting funds will significantly compromise our ability monitor them and mitigate disaster. Why this administration wants us flying blind in volcano territory is an utter mystery. This is not a FAFO situation.

From the askscience community on Reddit Explore this post and more from the askscience community

Mostly preaching to the choir here, but a group of us moderators over on Reddit's AskScience put together kind of an explainer for the implications of some of the attacks on science funding and infrastructure in the US if it's useful for anyone else to share:

If it all goes well, our now-complete observatory will be the first to document seafloor spreading and transform faulting events with geodesy, hydro-acoustics, and seismology! 🀞

Some exciting data sonification happenings through the new GeoSonNet network, funded by NSF, and organized by GLAS education as well as WHOI. Check out the AGU bulletin (requires login): connect.agu.org/discussion/n... or directly at geosonnet.org

This counts as breakfast, right?

Thanks! All PNAS articles are open access after six months. It would’ve cost us >$6000 to get open access immediately. For a largely unfunded project that’s unfeasible.

Aquifer beneath Oregon Cascades is far larger than researchers expected We'll hear about an aquifer in the Central Oregon Cascades that's three times the size of Nevada's Lake Mead.

There are also a number of long-form interviews about the work. Here's on from @opb.bsky.social last week: www.opb.org/article/2025...

Also here to share my various projects. Most recent is work on co-evolution of volcanism, erosion, hydrology in the Oregon cascades. If you want a copy of the paper let me know and I'll send you one. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I figured out how to log in to my account! Going to give this platform a try instead of X or whatever. Looking forward to seeing some neat science and art and so forth!
