Join our founder Penny Higgins tomorrow at 1:00 PM Eastern for a slightly delayed Science Saturday.

This week's topic: ROCK GLACIERS!

What happens when you combine ice, mountains, broken rock, and geology? You get one of my favorite weird landscape features — and, naturally, I have stories.

Things in My Field Notes
-or-
You Could Actually Use Trigonometry One Day

The field notebook is a treasure trove of runaway trains of thought.

On this particular day, I was measuring relative height of tops and bottoms of rock layers, and was calculating the layer thickness based on my knowledge of the degree of tilting of the bed.

Lessons here:
1) Knowing trigonometry can be helpful.
2) The notebook is for capturing not just sample data, but thoughts and observations made along the way.
3) It's okay to get stuff wrong. The mistakes are part of the thought process.
4) Don't erase. Save those notes. There are lessons there.
