Ripples and dunes near Swakopmund, Namibia. Tomorrow, Imperial Earth Science & Engineering students will learn about the processes that occur within this image!






If The Royal Parks are banning cross country running from #RichmondPark because it is damaging to the SSSI, when will they be banning dogs and cars from the park - as a matter of urgency? These two things cause way more stress and damage to the wildlife than a few runners.


Of all the shortsighted things The Royal Parks could have done... Of the most harm to public health for the least return to wildlife protection, this is about the pinnacle.. #detrimental

Ancient waves on Mars? 🌊 The ARCHIVED - Curiosity Rover team has spotted rippled rock textures in an unexpected spot! Explore more in this tour of the region narrated by Curiosity's project scientist Ashwin Vasavada. 🔗 More on what these clues tell us: go.nasa.gov/3XisXYu





It's great to see the "Album of Fluid Motion" a fascinating book authored by " Milton Van Dyke" (Stanford University), published in 1982, available online courses.washington.edu/me431/handouts… #FluidMechanics #FluidDynamics #ScienceIsBeautiful #FluidScience #STEM #Turbulence #phdvoice #Postdocvoice

Ice? Salt? or Pressure? We found evidence of groundwater in the ancient Stimson desert sandstones, potentially extending #habitability window on #Mars, but what state was the water in?

SUPER happy to announce that my first ever paper is out! Kirsten Siebach, @marslogander, Steve Banham and I looked at grain size in the Stimson sandstone in Gale crater to study sediment provenance + Mars paleoatmosphere: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

One Gusty afternoon in Gale crater... Some ripples formed, and can inform us about the ancient environment! Curiosity Rover See my #LPSC2025 poster here: lpsc2025.ipostersessions.com/Default.aspx?s…
