The features in Coldwater Cave are just stunning. It's like a cave geology textbook down there.
The cave itself is flooded, with cold water actively flowing through it (Coldwater Cave, amirite?). Even in summer it was pretty cold.
On the ceiling, you could see really neat joint patterns and how fluids exploited those joints, flowed through, and then deposited calcite as they hit the cave and CO2 was released, changing equilibrium and causing chemical precipitation.
Very proud of our #NSF-funded #REU students at the Dept of Geosciences, University of Arizona — our program called “Clouds 2 Core” (C2C) is only for students enrolled in 2-Yr Community and Tribal Colleges and the current cohort of 11 students are from colleges and towns all over #Arizona (and #NM and #TX). Today is their final presentations after 8 weeks of research work, here in #Tucson. Some photos below!

Timery 1.5.6 is available and should fix a possible issue with projects in saved timers on the iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma betas.

Stay tuned for lots of new goodies coming later this year!
Happy time tracking!
@DrEvanGowan I think Crack The Skye was technically the best amongst those, but Leviathan is a personal favorite; v unique when it came out.
@kau I’ve never experienced worse editorial handling than at Nature brand journals - we had a paper at Nat Comms (which did eventually come out there) where the editor rejected it after multiple rounds of review because one of the reviewers (who we’d already flagged as problematic) sent in a review for a completely different manuscript and the editor didn’t realise and rejected it. They then proceeded to ignore all of our emails until we got their senior editor involved. Crazy
I spent SO MANY HOURS in grad school manually adjusting peak baselines and deciding what should or shouldn't count as a peak and then going back and doing it all again because I called it a peak in one sample but not the other. I'm SO happy that progress is being made on this problem and very excited to read this preprint!

@cobalt Hope you all get rain up there soon! This storm was crazy though…!
@rcpierce We enjoy them very much!
@hereidk Yup! Will be great to see you there!

Ok @kau, when are you going to launch a diamond open access climate journal? Have seen quite a few cooking in geo side, like Seismica, Tektonika, Sedimentologika, Volcanica, Geomorphica... We even just launched one on disaster risk, @JournalCRR.
But no climate, somehow... I smell a project ;)
Following the hottest June on record and a series of extreme weather events, ERA5 data from the @CopernicusECMWF show that the first three weeks of July have already broken several records.

@kau Proliferating journals under the same corporate umbrella always struck me as having your cake and eating it too. “No, we don’t want your paper in your journal of choice, but we don’t want publishing fees or prestige to go to a competitor so here’s another less-relevant/crappier/catch-all journal for your consideration.”
