About Me
- Thermochronic
- Thermochronic is the author's alter-ego. I pull this out when lab equipment, georef, or students are being particularly unruly. In real life, I am a geologist, currently a research scientist specializing in thermochronology and tectonics. I believe that Triscuits are the king of all crackers, Joni Mitchell is a very underrated guitarrist, shaving is only slightly worse than facial hair, Neil Young is great because some of his songs aren't, and if I could I'd have lunch at Observation Point in Zion National Park every day. And, I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow.

Oh, the softballs you guys lob up there for me to knock out of the park...
This one is the Wisconsin River in the Driftless Area of southwest Wisconsin. Seeing as I spent the better part of a decade doing my graduate work at UW-Madison, it took me longer to write this comment than to find the spot in Google Earth.
More on my minions in a second...
that was up for less than 40 minutes...ridiculous...Ron must see images of panning and zooming around GoogleEarth while he sleeps...he is the master
Interestingly, I tried to get my geomorphology students this past spring semester to participate in Brian's Where on (Google) Earth challenges. I don't know if any of them even tried it - maybe my success intimidated them or maybe they just weren't as excited about identifying landforms in Google Earth as I was.
Now, lest you all get the impression from the comments here and on WoGE #20 that I have an "army of undergrad assistants" solving these for me, let me assure you that I have an army of exactly one undergrad assisting me this summer, and she's doing a great job working with me on spectrophotometry and geologic mapping in Rooks County, Kansas - not solving WoGE puzzles.
By the way, I've been trying to put my geologic explanations in the placemark description box on the KMZ link. I figure it's potentially more valuable attached to the placemark where someone might find it in a KMZ search via Google Earth.
Now, any requests for WoGE #29?
And here I was thinking the driftless area might throw someone for a loop....
Here we go again! WoGE #29 is posted!
