Some of Oakland’s busiest places are little visited and little noticed. This set of boulders sits at the intersection of MacArthur and Foothill Boulevards, up by the Eastmont Transit Center. The stuff of these boulders appears to be the [...]

Most people reading this will have driven along a highway recently. But did you ever stop to think about how it stays up? With all the trucks and cars that speed along the average highway every day, it’s a wonder they don’t collapse! [...]

Riprap, Slickensides, and a Thanksgiving Walkabout

WATCH FOR ROCKS - Travels of a Sharp-Eyed Geologist [2014-12-01 02:10:29]   recommend this post  (737 visits)

I went for a walkabout yesterday, two days after eating my way into a holiday food coma. That spiral cut ham–scalloped potatoes–pecan and cranberry dressing–vegetable medley–cranberry sauce–two pieces of pie–champagne and wine [...]

You need to download an app called mPing. mPing is a free app developed by scientists at the University of Oklahoma (My alma mater!) and the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma, and it’s aim is to improve forecasts and [...]

Oklahoma M4.2 earthquake - into the Enid Breach

Ontario-geofish [2014-11-30 12:55:00]   recommend this post  (717 visits)

Into the breach.  This earthquake was strongly felt by experienced people, so it may be a thrust. It has the pattern that I would expect for a thrust - intense and a small area.  All in all, the mechanism is growing nicely.  I still have no [...]

Gli Stati Uniti orientali sono caratterizzati da una sismicità intensa e famosa (in particolare la California) e gli sciami sismici sono all'ordine del giorno. Una cosa strana è che in questi giorni si sta verificando uno sciame “alla [...]

I Could Have told The NWS in Indiana That Posting that Was a BIG Mistake

Dan\'s Wild Wild Science Journal [2014-12-03 01:44:54]   recommend this post  (688 visits)

  Any broadcast meteorologist would know that posting this would set off the chemtrail loonies, and indeed it did. I suspect the NWS forecasters knew what they were getting into , but should we let a bunch of silly conspiracy believers keep us [...]
