Burned about 12 acres on Doe Mill Ridge, which sits between Forest Ranch (#ParkFire) and Paradise (#CampFire). The landowner has been using #RxFire here for over a decade and it looks pretty darn good. Neighbor’s properties… not as much.

We had about 30 people working yesterday and talked about how we scale this so that a single person can safely burn the same acreage.

This also marks the 10th anniversary of PowerPhotos (and 20th anniversary of its predecessor, iPhoto Library Manager). I'm marking the occasion by having a 10th anniversary special, with 10% off all PowerPhotos orders for the next month, until May 16th.

Thanks to everyone who's supported PowerPhotos and iPLM over the years. It's been amazing to be able to work on this creation through the years, and I hope to continue for many more!

After gaining experience at a fairly straightforward site, students in my Quaternary Geology course have moved on to more complicated exposures. This one here reveals basal till beneath proximal subaqueous outwash that was deformed by a readvance. Great stuff! #vermont #geology #EarthScience #glacial #Quaternary #outside

The protoplanetary material that coalesced to form the Earth had lots of intrinsic hydrogen bound with sulphur - probably enough to support hypothesis that Earth's water came from outgassing of mantle rather than being supplied by comets and asteroids.
