Working on proofs for a paper.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) scientists mapped how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts. 🧪 newscenter.lbl.gov/2024/11/19/n...

Can we do field geology in the deep ocean? What can we learn from it? With a new method to turn imagery from remotely operated vehicles into virtual outcrops, colleagues from the USGS and I came back with some new ideas on the evolution of the Mona Rift near Puerto Rico. 🧪🌊⚒️ doi.org/10.1130/GES0...

Virtual outcrops created from ROV dives along the Mona Riftv at water depths exceeding two kilometers, as well as the different features we can see there.
