Bengal Giving Day is this week! Please support students in ISU Geosciences by donating to the James D Stephens Scholarship Endowment. bengalgivingday.com/campaigns/geos…

Great new video highlighting the attributes of our geology field camp. Thanks to Ryan, Jonathan and all others who helped create it! youtube.com/watch?v=ql5hlS…

Field camp 2023 is nearly over! We’ve climbed mountains, waded across icy streams, sat by fires, and danced into the night. (Not to mention all of the mapping!) Do you have favorite field camp memories?

Last week, faculty, staff, and students from the geosciences department took roughly 100 students from Chief Tahgee Elementary Academy on field trips to Hooper Springs Park in Soda Springs. #idahostateucose #STEM #NSFfunded

Yay Kat!

New award for Kendra and Dave digging into the great unconformity! Yahoo! isu.edu/news/2022-fall…

The new semester starts on Monday! That means that your local geology crew is emerging, blinking and disoriented, from our field sites. May your summer have been filled with cool rocks, clean rivers, and breathtaking vistas!

Help Build Opportunities for ISU Geosciences Students! Today, all donations to the Sargent endowment will be MATCHED, offsetting costs for students attending our field camp. #BengalGivingDay Link: bengalgivingday.isu.edu/giving-day/411…

@JoBirtus Hmm. Just saw you followed me and tried to DM but got an error message. This is clearly what happens when they let people like me operate the department Twitter. 🤷‍♀️ You can email me— address is on the ISU Geosciences site; I’m Shannon (volcanologist)

@JoBirtus I just followed you, so you should be able to DM me now. (I can’t initiate it unless you follow me.) Sorry for the complications — we’re just trying to ensure that we don’t invite chaos from publicly posting links to our speakers.

Colloquium Wednesday (4 pm MST): Dr. Jamie Shulmeister on “Evolution of the world's largest and oldest active coastal dune system and implications for the formation of Australia's Great Barrier Reef” DM for link
