Welcome!

This blog provides commentary on interesting geological events occurring around the world in the context of my own work. This work is, broadly, geological fluid dynamics. The events that I highlight here are those that resonate with my professional life and ideas, and my goal is to interpret them in the context of ideas I've developed in my research. The blog does not represent any particular research agenda. It is written on a personal basis and does not seek to represent the University of Illinois, where I am a professor of geology and physics. Enjoy Geology in Motion! I would be glad to be alerted to geologic events of interest to post here! I hope that this blog can provide current event materials that will make geology come alive.

Mars lander "Curiosity" is on the surface

It will be impossible to outdo the NASA press releases on the exciting mission now underway on the surface of Mars. So, for my international readers who may not be receiving so much information on the mission, here is the JPL link to Curiosity, as well as to the two previous landers, Spirit and Opportunity:
