"The biggest (misconception) in general is people think that the mantle is made of magma, or the mantle is molten or liquid.” Earth sciences professor @brenhinkeller.bsky.social discusses misunderstandings about the Earth’s structure with Indy100.
Huge thanks to Don Perovich, Chris Polashenski, Cameron Planck, and others for leading and maintaining CRREL, Dartmouth @dartmouthears.bsky.social, and Cryosphere Innovation www.cryosphereinnovation.com ice mass balance buoy programs.
With some much terrible news, I want to share something positive. This is a spodosol my students made for our soils class back @dartmouthears.bsky.social featuring O-reo horizon, whipped cream E horizon, pudding Bhs and B horizon, and graham cracker glacial till.

Ever felt the ground tremble, creak, or groan? It turns out that small earthquakes in New Hampshire are somewhat common, according to @dartmouthears.bsky.social professor Leslie Sonder, via NHPR ⤵️
The people have a right to climate data. Outstanding op-ed by Justin Mankin. Couldn't have said it better, agree with everything. www.nytimes.com/2024/01/20/o...

Although it happened two weeks ago, wanted to post how great it was to see Josie successfully pass her MSc defense! (First graduate student and first post 😄)
A review in the Washington Post says that Dartmouth professor Darrin McMahon offers a "wide-ranging history" in his new book that "demonstrates that progress toward achieving equality is almost never linear." ⤵️
New research co-led led by Dartmouth anthropologist Nathaniel Dominy suggests that the eyes of Rudolph and his reindeer brethren may have evolved so that they can spot their favorite food during dark Arctic winters, via @BBC. ⤵️ 🎅
A scientist studies a research rig. He is pensive and contemplative, with his chin on his fist, observing. He's a handsome young man wearing a suit and tie, with closely cropped hair.
Let's talk about Ernest Everett Just, a cell biologist who unraveled the mysteries of fertilization in spite of the obstacles he faced as an African-American.
Just's story weaves together good, rigorous science with racism & tragedy.
He was born in 1883 in seaside Charleston, South Carolina.
This is a great fellowship for anyone looking to do a computationally-minded postdoc at Dartmouth, with any faculty in any department (including Earth Sciences)!

The other thing I wish I could tell everyone is that the machine learning is more specifically a parallel Bayesian inversion via MCMC (Metropolis modified with a form of "parallel tempering"), but that's trickier to explain so I'm worried folks are assuming we're using neural nets or something silly
