I wrote my thesis on barrier islands. Guess geomorphology is too woke for grants now.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

In case any one doubts that geomorphology and paleoseismology are unrelated. Trenching the Fuyun fault now.

Book review: Engineering Geomorphology - A Practitioners Guide by Gareth Hearn.
This a fascinating volume that examines the principles and practice of the often neglected but incredibly powerful field of engineering geomorphology.

Preparing for what will most likely be the last time I teach my soil geomorphology course. I'm realizing that my goal all along--though never really achieved-- has been to study the soil geomorphology (and geomorphology in general) of places like Lonely Road, i.e. "flat" to most people, and
Lonely Road, Wood County, Wisconsin. Shallow bedrock, flat, wet, poor farmland. Utterly fascinating and diverse soils.

Here, rain carves fractal-like patterns into the mining landscape through which the Rio Tinto in Spain flows. The pattern resembles branching trees, blood vessels, and highway networks.

This is a geomorphology joke, probably why it's not getting much response.
