GSA 2009 pre-update

By eklemetti on October 20, 2009.

I did a really terrible job of updating during the Geological Society of America meeting - mostly because (a) I was way too busy, (b) an iffy internet connection at my home and (c) a lack of concentration.

However, there was quite a bit of interesting info I heard which I'll likely post tomorrow including:

  • The northern Cascades of the US are filled with calderas.
  • The eruption of Kasatochi was quite impressive (if you didn't think so already).
  • Bubbles at Erebus come from deep down.
  • Holocene volcanism in Colorado.

    • Thanks to all the people I met this week as well, including Callan Bentley, Tuff Cookie, Ron Schott and others.

Moving Overseas, Part 1
You might not know this, but I am planning to leave America and move overseas -- permanently. There are a lot of reasons I am doing this, not the least of which is the fact that I am in love with a British scientist and that, even as a child growing up in a farming community, I always took it for…
