My #Dissertation is now searchable online! I can still hardly believe this actually happened.

All requirements complete. Doctoral degree earned!

I just filled out my first 'Did You Feel It?' report for the USGS. A small 3.2 magnitude earthquake. Woo hoo!

It's official, I passed my PhD defense today!

Sharing with you this evening, video from #MaunaLoa's NE Rift Zone. At ~11 am on Nov 29, 2022, the lava fountains were measured at 35-40 meters (115-148 ft) in height. The second video shows an ‘a‘ā lava flow several meters (yards) thick, moving to the northeast. #MaunaLoaErupts

It is finally happening. Friday, 2:30 pm ET Message me if you want to watch via Zoom.

Video showing fissures erupting on the Northeast Rift Zone of #MaunaLoa this morning. Fountains of fissure 3 were measured up to 25 m (82 ft) in height. More spectacular photos and videos available on the Mauna Loa website. ow.ly/uZrj50LQzIF #MaunaLoaErupts

Only a few days away from my #PhD defense and Mauna Loa is producing lava flows from fissure eruptions. Feels like a personal shout-out from Pele, goddess of fire. 😊

My PhD defense will take place one week from today. If you wish to tune in remotely, send me a private message for the Zoom link.

Defense will be Dec 2 at 2:30 ET. Heroy 110. There will be a Zoom stream for those that need/want to participate remotely.

@UHPcraftsman Dec 2 at 2:30 pm ET. I will be on campus for defense. If you are around, you should come. Still working on details for video. I would like to stream the defense for people that want to watch, but cannot make it to campus.

It's official. My #PhD defense has been scheduled! It's about time.

Me to picky editor's comments:

Space Dynamics Laboratory, the company I work for, is launching two new satellites today at approximately 12:25 MDT. Watch live as they are transported to orbit via a SpaceX rocket. #SpaceX youtube.com/watch?v=KHt3My…

Why are there so many roadblocks in the way of my #PhD finish line? It feels like the universe wants me to fail...

And the Iceland eruption begins!

The #dissertation fatigue is in full-force this week. My goal: make progress; any progress.

Today's #dissertation goal: Make sure the word 'unprecedented' is not found a single time in my writing. In the last 12 months, everyone has heard that word enough to last a lifetime.
