Wishing for a White Christmas? ❄️🌲 Well... too bad. You live in Las Vegas. *cries in desert* Vegas has not measured snow on Xmas Day since records began (1937). BUT, it did flurry in 1941, 1988, 2008, & 2015. 😉 Shoutout to our Alaskan colleagues for the cool graphic! #VegasWx

Building up to see two of the UNLVGeoscience Economic Geology group fly the nest… congratulations to Drew and Nathan! Some better pics to follow…

Congratulations to the UNLVGeoscience graduates who got their PhD or MS degrees at UNLV commencement today. Well done Drew, Audrey, Nathan Carey and Zoey; two of my economic geology group going on to bigger and better things.

Someone UNLVGeoscience has been clearing out their office a little and is disposing of these bits of history relating to the NASA Viking lander missions to Mars…
