The Dynamite Disaster is one of the most nutso parts of the 1906 Quake. This article from the centennial describes it quite well.

Dilution gaging in the Blue Mountains

Ecohydrology course at @boisestate.bsky.social

Geosciences graduate students learning about watershed budgets and the biological and geomorphic controls on water movement and storage. Stream gaging, hillslope hydrology, pedology, community ecology. The works!

Another @boisestate.bsky.social Geoscience student, another new paper!

An updated approach to modeling primary & secondary carbonates across CONUS. We got some great feedback from colleagues & reviewers on this project that really strengthened the end product. Thank you!

Eagle's Farmers' Union Canal cuts water delivery to 80% amid low snowpack and board contract conflict Low snowpack is forcing the Farmers' Union Canal to start the season at 80% delivery, just as new board members push to buy out a $20 million wastewater agreement.

As they say, whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting.

Announcement: After 5 years in the Geosciences Depart., I am leaving @boisestate.bsky.social in July. The past 14 months saw the dismantling of my entire research program and funding has been too slow to recover.

Help with job leads would be appreciated 💜 #soils

Nathan Fillion's Big Firefly Tease Is a Canon Animated Series With the Original Actors Reprising Their Roles — but It Needs a Home - IGN Nathan Fillion’s big Firefly tease has been revealed as a new animated series set between the original live-action TV show and the Serenity movie — but there's a catch.

Because it’s great.

What's My JND? Find your Just Noticeable Difference in colour perception. How small a colour difference can you actually see?

My JND: 0.0054. I wonder what the typical value is for folks using a Munsell color chart.

My thoughts exactly.

Lesser-known virus is on the rise in Boise. What is human metapneumovirus? “People of all ages” are at risk of getting sick, the CDC said.

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

Needle ice! I love the #physics behind these frost flowers 🤟 What synonyms are there for this beautiful phenomenon? Their #etymology? What is their earliest mention in art or science?

How’s your #SWI doing this year?! In NE Oregon, the Blue Mountains below 1500 m have none. The result: most cyroturbation & frost jacking I’ve ever seen outside the arctic. Increased freeze-thaw cycles, basalt-derived clayey meadow #soils with shallow profiles. Also, ash deposit erosion into streams

"Our dataset revealed the importance of restoring hydrologic flows to potentially increase aerobic conditions that minimize freshwater marshes as methane sources and to maximize carbon dioxide uptake in healthy and recovering mangroves" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

“…better.”

We’re mixing our metaphors here with the Indiana Jones reference…

Schematic cross-sections showing transects used to sample the buried Brady Soil on loess tablelands in the western Great Plains. A longer transect downwind from the windward tableland edge allowed sampling at various depths of burial by loess. A shorter transect on the eroding table edge sampled the soil at increasingly shallow depths resulting from erosion.

Happy to share another paper from the loess tablelands of the Great Plains, on organic C in buried soils and how it becomes susceptible to decomposition. We sampled the Brady Soil along transects of decreasing depth of burial and increasing erosional exposure. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
