thx @EGU_GD for the opportunity to contribute!! and by "draws parallels" you mean how early antarctic exploration was a male-dominated activity in which catastrophic failures were heralded as huge successes, that's for sure one of 'em. I hope a deeper message transcends all that.

yes, it's time to rethink what you're doing here. i highly recommend you watch this video (all 98 minutes!) to learn how a different future is waiting for us should we choose to make it happen. learn how to join the fight against surveillance capitalism.☮️youtube.com/watch?v=kNOX7a…

instead of learning stuff on this app i switched to an app that helps me learn a foreign language (a bucket list thing for me). i love learning and found that satisfies me. i've competed many other bucket list items the past few years. i'm rededicated to following my dreams (3/4)

This needs to change. I’m just missing wisdom teeth, but the implications for others are much greater. eenews.net/articles/how-n…

Check out our new paper on Archean lithosphere. We show that formation of cratonic roots can occur through naturally occurring lateral compression and thickening of the lithosphere in a self-consistent manner. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@derek_schutt @geosmx quite geographic dependent - a lot of UCs are in very unaffordable areas, so it amplifies the basic trends seen in other longer term data such as the ratio of median income to median home price compared to 40-50 yrs ago

@geosmx A colleague and I just had this discussion. I think things are better than when I was a graduate student, and graduate school was a definite step up from my previous jobs (both in pay and quality), but I wonder what is a good pay for students.

State budget support for the University of California system has waned considerably since the 1980s. In turn, the UC relied more on tuition revenue. Today the UC's core funding for academics is made up almost equally from state dollars and student tuition bit.ly/2XNNH1d

@geosmx nice job pointing this out. imo, AGU these days acts more like a lobbyist posing as a professional society, extracting $$ from meeting fees and page charges to pay for a fancy building in DC and a lot of lawyers + lobbyists.

Regional-Scale Lithospheric Recycling on Venus Via Peel-Back Delamination doi.org/10.1029/2022JE… Unlike subduction, both positively and negatively buoyant plates may undergo delamination if there is sufficient negative buoyancy in the lithospheric mantle.
