I’m pretty sure our work with plastic media will never end. I’ll be 90 years old and still messing with the vagaries of color, cost, shape, density, and size. Though we’ve talked to a lot of sedimentologists, it just now occurred to me that...
We have a lot going on now, and it’s all good. How about some pictures? Greg Wilkerson from SIUC brought a couple of his grad students by this week for a visit. Shipping an Emriver to Minnesota with our friends from Rodeway. A couple of very young researchers...
Taking a break from my incessant administrative and computer-based tasks, I worked on an old design for a small flume this week. I originally built a prototype last year that was, with some cruelty towards me, nicknamed the “water pig.” With a little...
