Dog person out at 5:30 am, walking the dog raises hand 🙋‍♂️

I can’t see how these kinds of cuts help with that

Yep, the lack of stats is equally nuts.

Wow, that’s insane that the regents ignored that kind of pressure.. oh my, this defintly will hurt UNL (and the state) long term

Looks almost like it could be Border ranges also.. but it has to be one of those two!

This is what our alums would do also..

It’s on either the Connector fault or the border ranges fault..

Connector fault !

Ugh…. Same here, licensure is needed in Kansas.

Haha. I mean it could just be a subway system… technically

Oh, FFS… lol wow

No doubt. This is such a fun discussion!

The high elevation plateaus around Yellowstone are really interesting. Pics are plateau at ~11.5k ft elevation across the valley from the Wind River range, in Absarokas. Flat surface on Eocene Absaroka volcanics, <10 ma local volcanism on that surface. Some kind of Yellowstone-related uplift also?!

That’s a good post !

Ahh yeah the border.. this would be cool out on the plains-rockies transition for sure.

Oh this would be so cool. We need that kind of constructive science! It would help the issues of why kimberlites exist 25 minutes from my house (edge effects seem to be- but no good high res tomography) and so much more. Plus need better constraints on Yellowstone, away and to the east of the park

I met her way back on a job interview at UALR - ended up further north that same year. It does seem more broadly like as @brandontbishop.bsky.social states under the broad “dynamic topography.” I’d love to see something more concrete!!

My point originally was just that the tertiary seds are really just a thin veneer (of mostly coarse-grained stuff) across the plains, so you don’t need much up or down to help deposition. But it’s such an understudied area for these issues you outline.

I can buy Farallon effects, but have a really hard time with Yellowstone aside from say perhaps just peripheral to the region (eg, wind river basin, bighorn region). So speculative !
