Google Earth Time Machine: September 2013

Google Earth Time Machine. MAP VIEW of the Locations I've Blogged About So Far. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. I'm a pretty big fan of oxbow lakes (and the process of their formation! Unfortunately, oxbow lakes probably don't have a lot of "fans" and probably don't even hold most folks' attention for more than a few minutes. However, I'd like to argue that they really should. Why? 1) They can happen in your lifetime! 2) They ignore the petty politics of geographical borders. Who doesn't love a shortcut?

Earth-like Planet: Get it right on gas
http://earth-likeplanet.blogspot.com/2012/08/get-it-right-on-gas.html
Geoscience news and issues on planet Earth, as well as anything else geological I feel like yabbering about. Thursday, August 9, 2012. Get it right on gas. This link is a couple of days old now - but that's OK, because this came out the same day that Curiosity landed on Mars. So it was a bit overshadowed, you might say. Friedman wrote an op-ed in the NY Times about the importance of the natural gas boom. If we don't, then problems like leaky gas pipes could possibly offset the gains. We need proper proce...

Geoscience news and issues on planet Earth, as well as anything else geological I feel like yabbering about. Saturday, February 2, 2013.

Is an astronomy enthusiast, blogger, publisher of Universe Today. S geology office hours, but they've not yet really caught on. I'd love to see geos use them as effectively for Earth Scienc...

Geoscience news and issues on planet Earth, as well as anything else geological I feel like yabbering about. Monday, August 6, 2012. Curiosity Stuck the Landing! After posting the Curiosity Round-Up last night, it was amazing to watch the events of the landing unfold. We landed a mini-cooper sized robot on Mars by lowering it down by a rocket-propelled Sky Crane, and then it started sending back images! It was an amazing feat. Someone posted this today on about a billion websites:. 160;Im a big fan of hi...
