Look out - here comes a bandwagon! A bunch of other bloggers are doing it ... okay, I will too.
Here's the deal -- take the first sentence for the first post of each month for 2008 and put them together. Also ... put in the first photograph of the month (about half of them are not from the same post - so they don't all match).
January: My first post of 2008 has absolutely nothing to do with Earth science.
February: It’s been a quiet week on Clastic Detritus … we went through a move earlier this week to be a little closer to my new job.
March: I’ve spent the last week or so in Chilean Patagonia co-leading a small, informal field trip around the rocks that me and several other students have worked on in the last several years.
April: I’m going to be traveling and away from a computer for the next couple of weeks, so don’t expect any new posts until I return.
May: I’ve been so patient … Finally, it seems that Google will do what I’ve been literally dreaming about.
June: I guess I’m on a plate tectonics kick … the last few Sea-Floor Sundays have shown bathymetric (sea-floor topography) images at a scale where big-scale tectonic features are evident (see Scotia Plate, regional context of Chaitén volcano, and Gulf of California).
July: This intriguing press release just came across my reader.
August: A paper for a component of my PhD work is finally in press (woo hoo!). I will put together a post about it once it’s uploaded to Sedimentology’s website.
October: In 2006 I had the opportunity to go to a geology conference in Mendoza, Argentina on my way back from field work in Patagonia.
November: With two days to go until the election, here’s a short video describing the electoral math problem that McCain must overcome to pull out a victory.
December: I am out of town this week helping teach a week-long class for work about — you guessed it, turbidites.
This is a very cool way to review the year, and nicely represents a lot of what I've blogged about this year ... I enjoyed putting it together.
