Single strike of a lightning bolt I captured from tonight’s thunderstorm.

I took a few images with my camera of the #eclipse to share.

Diatoms from tropical Central Africa are rarely studied. Samples from rivers and ponds from both Congos were investigated and this led to the description of two new Eunotia species.

Diatoms and Sierra Nevada lakes = the perfect combination!
In our new paper we evaluate the sensitivity of high-altitude lakes to climate warming since the LIA

Nuestro equipo sigue trabajando para entender cómo las incursiones marinas afectan el ecosistema en el #lagodeizabal #guatemala #porunaguatemejor en colaboración con CSD Facility Trisha Spanbauer #nsffunded

Our project in Guatemala is going strong with 70 meters of core on deck so far - Jonathan Obrist-Farner is leading the team studying ecosystem response to climate and environmental change in the Lake Izabal Basin #NSFFunded

Tiny toenails of a #tarantula on the #SEM . No spiders were harmed in the imaging - they were from a collected molt. Pacific Plankton #SciArt #Spiders

Micromollusc ( #snail ) in #SEM from the images collected by Stacy for the research she presented at GSA2023. #SciArt

An image from Stacy Yager's PhD work - she was working in my #SEM lab a bit before the GSA2023 meeting. #foraminifera #SciArt

Go visit out friend Stacy and see her very pretty #Foram images taken on our #SEM . She is at booth 146 at #GSA2023 today!

Catch Christopher Winningham today at booth 258. It is your chance to hear about how #diatoms are sensitive to past #earthquakes - recorded in lake records from #Guatemala ! Out of control badge flash too! #EESINDSTATE #GSA2023 #paleolimnology

Want to hear about a 2,500 year record of #diatom history from Lake #Tanganyika ? Sristika Adhikari can tell you all about it at booth 259 at #GSA2023 today. I hope you like Nitzschia! #paleolimnology #EESINDSTATE

Poster 244 today showcases the work of MS student Christian Sizemore. Come by and hear about Holocene precipitation and evaporative changes the Midwest reconstructed using #diatoms from Marl Lake, WI. #GSA2023 #EESINDSTATE

Kind of happy that we were able to limit our carbon footprint for #GSA2023 . We drove in a van together, stayed at a BnB, I only traveled to the conference and back on mass transit daily, we walked to a grocery to buy stuff for breakfast meals and almost no single-use plastics.

Hanging out at ISU graduate student Paige Havener’s poster at #GSA2023 - it discusses how #Pleistocene #phosphorus burial has changed in the #Agulhas Current. #EESINDSTATE
