Busy Field Season

Quite a busy summer this year. Lots of time in the field, both downhole logging landslide deposits and in trenches across active faults. This is what I like to do and why I became a field geologist. Tomorrow I put on one of my other hats and present at the Geological Society of American annual meeting in Denver. I'm dusting off some older work on anthropogenic change to water systems - fancy words for man-made modifications. Now that more folks are aware of possible global warming impacts, the other ways man changes the landscape to fit human needs is getting more attention...and rightly so.
