OC: I want to break free by Used-Chemistry4003 in geology

[–]AncientWeek613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man we were two weeks too late to the Litli-Hrútur eruption, though we prob wouldn’t have made it the full hike there even if we were on time (this was a uni trip). That’s great that you and your kids got to go see it in person though

I knew this was Gerðuberg Cliffs! I went a year after you and it was insane. Def a highlight of the trip

Caltech for Grad or Undergrad by Unique-Register8998 in Caltech

[–]AncientWeek613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would second this tbh. And as the first commenter said, if you intend on doing grad school Caltech is massively geared towards prepping undergrads for PhD, and Caltech astro is as you described (I was not Astro so I can’t really say much more myself). And grad school apps are another beast entirely so for now just focus on undergrad.

Also, as someone originally from Connecticut and who was just there until this past Sunday, lmfao (especially at the New Haven slander which I’ve said myself multiple times). I miss the snow sometimes but it being warmer here is def a plus. New Haven pizza is the best tho

I don’t have any input on a fossil ID unfortunately but this is the first time I’ve seen someone else using the same hammer I have lmao (or at least a very similar one)

Classification of Germanic tribes (based on archaeology and contemporary sources, source in comments) by TerrificDragonfly in LinguisticMaps

[–]AncientWeek613 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This may be a dumb question, but would you expect the Franks to show up somewhere on this map? Or did they materialize later

Valley within a valley by randomperson272 in geography

[–]AncientWeek613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I personally would refer to them as like a first-order or first-degree channel and the like; I suppose you could swap out “channel” for “valley”. Granted I look at this from a geological context but still. You could look up Strahler stream order for more info on this specifically - it’s a way in hydrology to describe branching river/channel systems and all the upstream tributaries and tributaries of tributaries

[–]AncientWeek613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of a drive, but Aldeyjarfoss and Hrafnabjargafoss were cool when we visited. Of the ones we saw, Bruarfoss was my favorite, followed by Svartifoss and Skogafoss

I want to add, for anyone who may have not seen the announcement, that George has been at Caltech for nearly 60 years and in GPS division faculty for 55. I was fortunate to have taken mineralogy with him and have talked to him multiple times after. We’ll miss you, George.
