Six foot five inch tall James Shaw being dwarfed by Kyungsoo Yoo's impressive collection of sieves. -
Danny Flanagan amid a top-notch demonstration on how to separate samples using the Frantz and heavy liquids. -
Crystal Lake, Nevada -
The Yoo's lab ad hoc dust hoods. "Soil Savers" we made to protect soil samples while drying. -
Linsey LaRocque (University of S. Carolina) and I going to a Twins game after 2 days of "Rippling" and "GeoNetting." The Twins won a shut-out of 12 to zero, and I left lots of shelled peanuts on the floor. -
Martin Hurst in California's Feather River field site, taken during field work in July, 2009. This project is led by PI's Kyungsoo Yoo (Univ. Delaware) and Simon Mudd (Univ. Edinburgh) to understand how geochemical changes in soil propagate in response to ongoing channel incision. Martin (Edinburgh), Kate Maher (Stanford), Kristen Mayer (Stanford) and Sherman the Dog (Stanford) are all great soil collectors, carriers, and collaborators. -
Learning how to do BET surface area analysis in Kyungsoo Yoo's soil laboratory at the University of Delaware. -
In the OSL lab of PRL, Gauri Ganbavale smiles as she gets ready to change her single grain samples. -
Juliet Kinney catching a shot of me, happy to see Alicia Renfro again, in the sediment lab at Stony Brook during Thanksgiving 2008. -
Me helping Alicia Renfro show off her gravity cores from one of her recent trips to Jamaica Bay. -
Juliet Kinney taking pictures of her Peconic Bay oyster shells during a Thanksgiving 2008 trip to Stony Brook. -
Brendan Bream showing Poojitha and I how to identify zircons in our samples. -
Kaye Savage and Aaron Covey staying awake by playing video games during our Feb. 2008 trip to Argonne. -
Aaron Covey overly excited about being able to tricycle around the Advanced Light Source. -
Anita Singhvi, Naomi Porat, and me happily posing for a picture during Diwali--the India New Year. Their saris make my clothes look pretty shabby! -
Yes, he does actually smile. And, he has one of the best senses of humor, too! Here's Dr. Singhvi during my visit to PRL during Fall 2008. While in India, my belly did hurt, but it was from too much laughing! -
Some of the great people who work with Dr. Singhvi. From left to right: Navin, Yogesh, Anil, and Rabiul. -
One of the best things in Nasvhille to do is watch Shakespeare in the Park. Here I am with Elise Childs enjoying the Merry Wives of Windsor. -
Beth Weinman, Ashley Bromley, and Maria Takahashi -
Who was the faster draw? Calvin or me? -
Getting ready to enter the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, the nation's only deep geologic radioactive waste repository. -
Jennifer Pickering happily calibrating the XRF after nearly locking us out of the Warner Cribb's lab at MTSU. -
Kristal Kallenberg, Maria Stepanova, Beth Weinman, and Gabrielle Dorr - Stony Brook's MSRC class of '05. -
Juliet Kinney, Meredith Klein, and Jenni Szlosek at Stony Brook University, MSRC. -
Lex Van Geen in Van Phuc village, along Vietnam's Red River, waiting for the next opportunity to needle-sample. -
The heterogeneity of aquifer sands over a vertical span of several meters in Van Phuc village, along Vietnam's Red River -
A friendly great-grandfather from one of our drill sites in Van Phuc, Vietnam -
Taking a break from EM measurements with Zahid Aziz in Van Phuc, Vietnam -
Not bothered by the lack of light, Karrie Radloff continues needle sampling well into the night in the Van Phuc village, Vietnam. -
Three curious children in Van Phuc village, Vietnam. They were happy to help me look at the aquifer sediments being drilled up--notice the loop in the girl's hand! -
Yan Zheng catching me walking back to the van, being accompanied by a happy crowd of villagers during a 2004 excursion closer to the Meghna River, by Araihazar, Bangladesh. -
Back in Araihazar in Nov. 2007. Me sitting comfortably in a chair taking out an OSL sample, watching Yan doing her best Crouching Tiger pose while incubating a microbe sample. -
Yan Zheng "sticking" together a water sampler to study surface water geochemistry in Araihazar, Bangladesh -
Steve Goodbred opting for something other than oranges and Lexus crackers while working in Araihazar, Bangladesh -
Here's the bus we toured on while sampling rocks between Kathmandu and Parasi, Nepal. -
A turbidite sequence in boulders found between Kathmandu and Butwal, Nepal. -
We found a heart in a tree while searching for some spring waters in Nepal's Terai. -
Next to our first drill location in Nepal, Laurent Charlet and crew setting up their field laboratory -
Lex Van Geen letting loose after a good day's work in Nepal. -
Ananta and Palash discussing aquifer sediments being drilled up by the local drillers. -
