My 'favourite' technical phrase specific to hydrography - Arbolate Sum - I thought deserved an #AISlop band t-shirt in the style of 'Spinal Tap'...

[I used to shore dive in the Straits Of Juan de Fucca, Washington State side, and Crescent Lake - so I chose that area as a CoNED example to explore; good memories, including of the 18 Wheeler Burger with pie & coffee in Joyce, WA on drizzly days]

Neogene Uplift Of The Chiribiquete Tabletop Mountains In The Colombian Amazon And Its Paleobiogeographic Implications

H/T Richard F. Ott
“The Chiribiquete are table top mountains located deep in the Colombian Amazon and host many rare endemic species. Helanlin Xiang's work shows that the Chiribiquete Mountains likely upifted before the Early Miocene and could have acted as a long-lived stepping stone, connecting species in the Andes with the Guyana Shield…”

“[1888 graduate student Frederick Haynes] Newell is purported to be the person responsible for the adoption of the USGS spelling of “gage” instead of “gauge”. Around 1892, Newell reasoned that “gage” was the proper Saxon spelling before the Norman influence added a 'u'…”
