I’m like a baby bird in my nest of papers, finishing my thesis.
Arts and crafts break - collage from images in a journal someone was throwing out.

This is me, about 100 meters underground in a dolostone mine, about to hit a 15 m x 15 m pillar of rock with a hammer. The little blue thing to the right is one of 24 geophones coupled into the sides of the pillar. They detect and record the seismic waves created by my hammer blow. I use these seismic waves to create an image of the interior of the pillar. Pretty cool, right?
Any questions?
It’s been so long, I think I forgot how to take a self-portrait. I’ve been meaning to make more pictures lately. We’ll call it a resolution of sorts. No promises - it’s a crazy semester of hopefully finishing my masters - but let’s try to make this a thing. Deal?
Hard hat hair after six hours underground. Ground-penetrating radar today - my data is gorgeous.
Testing geophones and rocking out to ABBA. Getting ready to go to the field.

On Wisconsin!
They let us use the stadium to measure out some long cables. Played around when the science was over.
