Happening tomorrow. If you’re used to our former Earth Science events where you hear from a pack of us, this will be a little different - it’ll only be the head of GEO. But you’ll learn stuff!

Do you like maps?? I’m in a briefing where the USGS shared these amazing 3D Elevation images that are just so cool. Find your state/district, and behold this example of DC! www.usgs.gov/3d-elevation...

The hazy sky even after the storm passed made capturing the eclipse tough but I got a some decent, if not too in focus shots from my timelapse.

Terrifying footage from Nepal. Per @watershedlab.bsky.social seems likely the result of a glacier collapse. Mountain glaciers are increasingly unstable in our warming world. Hope that rescues are successful and recovery possible. 😔

We covered a lot of ground today, and with stops for snacks, views, rocks, fosses, views, ice cream, and views, it took about 8 hours. One of the most beautiful drives ever.

Post-ferry, we drove some wild gravel roads to hike to Dynjandi, an astoundingly beautiful place mid-Westfjords (can you apot @portcityposter.bsky.social and @heathermg.bsky.social). Now my most northern beer, in Isafjordur.
