@ualbanydaes.bsky.social What a beautiful day for a field trip at Thacher Park for our Geology & Oceanography classes! And we even had someone find part of a trilobite fossil! #geologyrocks #thacherpark

"went about the precise, though at times makeshift, work of filling a plastic tube with hundreds of years of...mud" - never seen a more accurate description of my field work style 🤣

And one of the best parts of my job is getting to show what we do so the public can understand why science is important!

Let’s face it: you never regret a day spent outdoors.

We are thrilled to announce that Prof. Mathias Vuille has been named a SUNY Distinguished Professor, an honor conferred upon faculty having achieved international prominence & a distinguished reputation within their chosen field through significant contributions to research and scholarship.

FYSA.

NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) is being forced to decommission several paleo databases (including data I used for my dissertation).

You will be able to request archived data via email, but I HIGHLY advise downloading what you need ASAP. 🧪🌊

So proud of how hard my PhD student worked on this! And importantly it shows that legislation can WORK.

Paleo folks: Does anyone know if NOAA/NCEI's Paleoclimatology database is part of NOAA's Amazon Web Services contract? Does the US paleo community need to start archiving datasets at Pangaea now too? FAIR data principles don't really work if the website can disappear with little notice.

Ian, you are awesome.

We are thrilled to announce Prof. Kristen Corbosiero's promotion to Full Professor, the department's first female faculty member to achieve the rank. Congratulations @profcorbosiero.bsky.social!

For every dollar of federal research funding in the United States, universities generate between $2.30 and $3.00 of economy activity, much of that in local communities.

That doesn’t even include the return on investment of getting a college or graduate degree, which research also dollars support.

Dear mountains, we miss you #mondays
