On the way between our work area and the cafeteria where we ate lunch, we passed the geology department&#8217;s rock garden. They have some great specimens there, some big, some small. Here are three that featured folds: Closer in, you can note an exquisite example of differential &#8230;]]></description>

She was in charge of the series of maar-creation experiments I helped out at a few weeks ago, which are a followup to the experiments that I wrote about last year. She offered to put together this post so you could learn a bit about the science and international collaborations behind the experiments.]]></description>

Within 24 hours, I had finished it. It&#8217;s the story of how my friend Forrest Pritchard re-made his family&#8217;s farm into a sustainable enterprise by going organic. The book is called Gaining Ground, and it&#8217;s less academic than something like The Omnivore&#8217;s &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news coverage of the destruction from the tornadoes in Oklahoma is pretty devastating. Rather than watch endless shots of newscasters wandering through the rubble, I've been paying attention to folks in the geoblogosphere who are speaking to the science as well as the disaster - particularly Dan Satterfield over at Dan's Wild Wild Science Journal. He's been doing a fantastic job blogging and tweeting about not only the scientific aspects of the tornado but the situation on the ground. As much as I wish I could be out doing disaster prevention work, I'm not able to just yet. But there are other ways to help. ]]></description>

This morning on Facebook, I noticed that many of my pious friends were letting the rest of us know that they were praying for Oklahoma, or more specifically, for the victims of the storm. At the same time, the hashtag #prayforoklahoma is trending on Twitter with all sorts of people dropping that phrase into &#8230;]]></description>

We don&#8217;t know the wind speeds yet, and until then it cannot be given an EF Scale rating. I&#8217;ve seen some things (on the video of the damage) that make it clear that this was very likely an EF 4, and I&#8217;ve seen one thing that makes me &#8230;]]></description>
