My thoughts exactly.
10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.
Needle ice! I love the #physics behind these frost flowers 🤟 What synonyms are there for this beautiful phenomenon? Their #etymology? What is their earliest mention in art or science?
How’s your #SWI doing this year?! In NE Oregon, the Blue Mountains below 1500 m have none. The result: most cyroturbation & frost jacking I’ve ever seen outside the arctic. Increased freeze-thaw cycles, basalt-derived clayey meadow #soils with shallow profiles. Also, ash deposit erosion into streams
"Our dataset revealed the importance of restoring hydrologic flows to potentially increase aerobic conditions that minimize freshwater marshes as methane sources and to maximize carbon dioxide uptake in healthy and recovering mangroves" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
“…better.”
We’re mixing our metaphors here with the Indiana Jones reference…

Lovely #soil art from @deh75.bsky.social
Starting work together on a soil #watercolor #art diary of sorts this spring!
Come learn about soil health!

We've been hard at work building a dope digital space for all our gardener friends like you to hang out. Come check it out! 🌱✨

Schematic cross-sections showing transects used to sample the buried Brady Soil on loess tablelands in the western Great Plains. A longer transect downwind from the windward tableland edge allowed sampling at various depths of burial by loess. A shorter transect on the eroding table edge sampled the soil at increasingly shallow depths resulting from erosion.
Happy to share another paper from the loess tablelands of the Great Plains, on organic C in buried soils and how it becomes susceptible to decomposition. We sampled the Brady Soil along transects of decreasing depth of burial and increasing erosional exposure. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’ve got one, love it
Come say hi at #AGU25 and hear about our work on post-wildfire water quality issues.

Yes, baffled by their assertions
More soil celebrations! Soil properties greatly impact water storage & transport across the landscape. In eastern Oregon, geologic events have continually changed the distribution of soils & reshaped the hydrology.
Here we’re looking at the changes induced by basalt flows & recent ash deposits.
Happy International Soils Day! With likely 100k plus soils worldwide directly and indirectly supporting humanity, it’s difficult to overstate how important they are to our wellbeing.
Don’t let soils go unnoticed, dig into how soils impact your lives!

Teaching an Ecohydrology field course focused on soils here starting in March, so need to get some soil pits characterized beforehand 😅 NCSS only has 4 pits in the Umatilla Mtns I think
Had the same question here at the Starkey. When will digging soil pits be tolerable?
Gorgeous! Love that area
That’s actually intact bedrock, just has some of the clay rich soil stuck to it below.
We do have good E horizons out there just not in these two pits.
Yes, me or Seyfried, who wore it better 🥸
Come back and visit sometime!
Spent the week at the USFS Starkey Experimental Forest in north-central Oregon (near La Grande).
Extensive old basalt flows capped by ~7500 year old ash deposits that drastically changed the distribution of vegetation, making for interesting hydrology today.

One of the benefits of doing a lot of 3D printing for work is knowing how to accessorize your pumpkin for #Halloween
Right!
Anywhere from cobbles to soup!
