@jackgearymurphy @dougsjunkdrawer Thanks Jack! :)

Super cool work from @_sosilver_ and @dougsjunkdrawer inferring the environmental history of planetary surfaces by quantitatively understanding the mudcracks at our feet and the crevasses of Earth’s ice sheets. Dropping soon in a journal near you!

Thanks so much to everyone who stuck it out on Friday afternoon and came to check out my poster! So appreciate all the thought provoking questions and ideas 💥 #AGU2024

My department @PENN_EES is hiring a "glaciologist", broadly defined! apply.interfolio.com/131519 Please RT and help to get the word out @theAGU @AGU_EPSP @AGU_Cryo @ApsDsoft @SACNAS @earth_jobs @BlkinGeoscience Don't disqualify yourself by assuming we're looking for someone else!

Photos by the incomparable Justin Durner (justindurner.com) of our @NASA funded LASSIE project (viterbischool.usc.edu/news/2022/09/l…) expedition to Mt. Hood.

Please consider submitting to the EPSP general poster session at this #AGU23 (w/@Geomorph_Brooke @suzdoesscience @_sosilver_ ) submit here: agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/preli… deadline is August 2nd

This one’s for Nub Nation! @dougsjunkdrawer states his claim dropping in on White Sands Mavericks #softearth

Back in Philly now after a week in White Sands National Park 🏜️ A million thanks to my advisor @dougsjunkdrawer for facilitating the geology field trip of a lifetime and showing us all how it’s done surfing the dunes 🏄‍♂️ Even found some beautiful vornoi patterns in the wild!

Another year, another planetary fracture analysis 🪐 Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by my #AGU22 poster yesterday and for all the insightful comments and suggestions!

@dougsjunkdrawer’s kids 🤝 @DrVasshe’s kids #SoftEarthGeophysics #AGU22

Big thanks to everyone at the @prf2022 for an excellent conference experience. So lucky to be able to share my work with so many passionate and talented scientists!

@dougsjunkdrawer @burtonlab @Gilchrist_Lab @KDalnokiVeress @hooshanginejad @ApsDsoft Somewhat reminiscent of these fractures on Mars!

@burtonlab @Gilchrist_Lab @KDalnokiVeress @hooshanginejad @ApsDsoft @_sosilver_ check it out. I think you've been looking at some natural crack networks that show this pattern -- arrested cracks that don't fully connect? You have a photo in your archives that you could post that comes close to this?

@pradeep_shravan @nakulsdeshpande @RuckRocks Absolutely count me in 💥

@nakulsdeshpande we can arrange that, what say you? @RuckRocks @_sosilver_

Not trying to stir the pot but... Is there a reason why fracture has not been seriously considered as the formative mechanism for polygons on Pluto? I know convection makes patterns like this too, but it demands a more complicated story. @_sosilver_ @ThePlanetaryGuy ?

Curious about what the geometry of crack patterns can tell us about formation processes, even in deep space? 🪐 Check out my #PennGradTalks presentation! Big thanks to @SASGov and @PennSAS for providing this great platform for celebrating the exciting work happening at Penn!

@dougsjunkdrawer @mars__sand Multi-scale cracking! Awesome!

@mars__sand @_sosilver_ !

mud cracks, some with plant roots in them.

@dougsjunkdrawer @ThePlanetaryGuy still on the hunt for more images of Ganymede!

@ThePlanetaryGuy @_sosilver_

@laurasjohann @_algunn Thanks so much! The number (I think) is EP25H-1411. The pdf of the poster is in the online poster gallery!

Day two of #AGU21 in the books, thanks so much to everyone who stopped by my poster and for all the amazing feedback/questions! Shoutout to @_algunn for the photographic finesse ✨

Sorry to be missing #AGU2021 this year, but our lab's research is well represented. If you're looking for some #SoftEarthGeophysics or related work, check out these presentations from the team (in chronological order for your scheduling convenience):

Currently recruiting undergraduates for our @Urgeoscience Penn EES Pod 🍃 as part of our #inclusivity and #accesibility goals!
