We're a month out from reviewing faculty applications in Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, and Earth-surface Processes Earth and Environmental Sciences, UMN-Twin Cities. (Think St Anthony Falls Lab too!) If you want to talk about the search in person, I will be at #AGU22.

I would love to hire a quality machinist for my lab -- but can't afford it. And as a professor, I encounter students who would excel in a hands-on environment. Tactile intelligence is intelligence. Spatial intelligence is intelligence.

New Year's resolution? Apply to UMN! With understanding that many of you are on holidays: Please feel free to contact me if you may need an extra day or two to submit. (Also, Jan 2nd is a federal holiday: oops!) Our aim is to request letters by the end of this week.

Very strong temperature gradient at the water free surface (not frozen, so about 2-4C) and air, about -20-25C). Add wind and, yes, you have a relatively-hot tub with plenty of heat and moisture fluxes: a natural fog - cloud generator

I hit the wrong key, my Twitter messages popped open, and this. Exploratory conversation about using ancient DNA to map past Manoomin (Wild Rice) extents in MN (my childhood home) and WI (hers). I miss you, my friend.

This is not a faculty or a research position, but it can be a very fun job if you like big experimental facilities, SAFL is a playground for the curious minds

SAFL grad student Mohammadali Olyaei uses a hyperspectral spectroradiometer to detect the spectral reflectance signatures of plastic. Mohammad & advisor Ardeshir Ebtehaj hope to equip drones with these sensors for quick & inexpensive detection & cleanup of plastic in water bodies.

Come hear from the amazing Shanti Penprase, more than just outstanding in her field!
