My PhD student is researching the experiences of neurodivergent geoscience faculty and understanding how their neurodivergence shaped their academic experiences. Please see the following and consider taking her survey (full consent/description in the link).

Exciting news that the US has a research icebreaker on the way. Notes from today's PRB meeting include that the goal is to have it out in ~5 years (!!!) but that the scope will have to be reduced to fit the budget somehow (???).

A new study published in #Geology reports the first-ever tektite strewn field discovered in Brazil—revealing evidence of a previously unknown meteorite impact ~6.3 million years ago.

NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot, left, and NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist are seen sitting on a Navy MH-60 Seahawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha after they and fellow crewmates CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist, and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander, were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown, Friday, April 10, 2026, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA’s Artemis II mission took the quartet on a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth. Following a splashdown at 5:07 p.m. PDT (8:07 p.m. EDT), NASA, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force teams are working to bring the Orion spacecraft aboard the recovery ship. Image Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls
Of all of the post-splashdown photos from the Artemis II mission, this is my favorite.
It captures the best of who we are, the best of who we can be.

I would add that as an advisors I also still need the "grunt work". Aren't we training grad students to be life-long learners?

This is figure 1 from “Broadly stable atmospheric CO2 and CH4 levels over the past 3 million years.” It shows characteristics of the greenhouse gas data from the ALHIC1901 ice core.
Key climate shifts in the past 3 million years may have been more heavily influenced by changing ocean temperatures than greenhouse gases, according to analyses of ancient Antarctic ice cores published in two Nature papers.

I won't indulge in the usual hand-wringing about a post-truth world, because I think that people will adapt and learn how to triangulate information (though consolidation of ownership and White House attacks on the US press aren't helping).
In any case, what a damn unnecessary mess.
