I've told you before about the Chiemgau Impact Hypothesis, where a small group of researchers cultivate a minority view of a glaciogenic lake basin in Bavaria as a meteorite crater dating from the 1st Millennium BC. Here on Aard I've published a paper in collaboration with geologists Robert Huber…
A group of 'astronauts' and a mechanical rover have set sail through the stars across North America to an impact crater near Mistastin Lake in the wilderness of Canada, travelling by helicopter rather than rocket ship, in what is known as an "analogue mission":
Beginning today (August 29), a team…
Busy day so I probably won't get to update much as we're busy hosting Dr. Charlie Bacon, geologist for the USGS, here at UC Davis today. Dr. Bacon has written some seminal papers in his career and is probably the foremost authority of the evolution of Crater Lake/Mt. Mazama (speaking of which, >…
Yesterday was the 12th 22nd anniversary of an environmental catastrophe in Cameroon. On August 21, 1986 Lake Nyos in that West African country belched a huge load of carbon dioxide and suffocated 1700 people as they slept. Like its monoxygenated cousin carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide is "a…

(The OMG definitely makes the diagram effective. On a side note, how the hell does anyone communicate in text-speak without melting their brains?)
Art, as long as you're willing to sacrifice everyone who isn't a slightly boorish straight/bi man in order to increase attendance among your target demographic, that's a fantastic idea.
And by "fantastic" I mean "if I thought there was a real chance that a man's back would get equal time and attention, I might not find it so upsetting, but I happen to know which world I am living in and it is not an egalitarian fantasyland".
How about The Grand Tetons, or maybe The Sisters?
I'm thrilled you like my photo! It's also my drawing, and no, I don't draw any better than that when given the whole blackboard.
Thanks for giving credit!
Chris - I like the idea of a tattoo; perhaps I should convince a vulcanologist to get this (which I am not).
