View of the coastal area of Redwood National and State Parks this weekend with sun, clouds, amenable tides, and the ongoing evolution of sediment properties and abundance. Here, we can see onshore rocks, a stretch of sandy beach, the green and yellow of the vegetation covering the slopes behind the beach, and a sky that is part cloudy and part blue. Temperatures were cool and a steady wind kept the day even cooler. The Pacific Ocean rolls in on the left. Waves were generally gentle throughout the weekend. The purpose of this image is in part to provide interested viewers with a snapshot of conditions should they be considering a visit to the area. Other resources for visitors include updated web camera images from the National Park Service and forecasts from the National Weather Service. The most important information for visitors is an understanding of the tide, as this area is inaccessible during times of higher tides.

[For almost 300 years – from 1709 to 2004 – Penicuik and district was producing high-quality paper which went out all over the world; Walter Scott’s Waverley novels and Robert Louis Stevenson’s notebooks were printed on Penicuik paper, and Turner painted on it too.]

Utah State University: Fluvial Fingerprints: Major New Database Tracks Sediment Across Mississippi River Basin. “Tracking the sources of excessive sediment in the Mississippi River Basin (MRB) has proven to be a vexing and economically important question for the last few decades … Now, the first basin-wide sediment fingerprinting database makes it possible to track where sediment is coming […]

The abstract submission deadline for the @EuroGeosciences meeting is coming up soon, and if you are thinking about submitting anything on #diagensis or reactions in the #sediment, consider our session (SSP3.9) where we ask:
What if the most important setting for carbonate diagenesis is the first few meters below the seafloor?

What if the most important setting for carbonate diagenesis is the upper few meters of the sediment pile, in marine pore waters, not the deeper burial or meteoric realms? If correct, this is a paradigm shift in how we understand marine chemical fluxes, limestone formation, the marine fossil record, and sediment budgets.  We invite contributions from all disciplines, from modern to ancient carbonates, laboratory, and modelling approaches, focusing on understanding this under-appreciated geochemical setting and also the broader impacts for Earth system studies.

A graded bed and the start of the next one in a Silurian greywacke, Appalachians. The mostly quartz and plagioclase grains get finer to the left, indicating that 'up' was to the left as the grains settled in the water column.

A thin section imaged in plan-polarized light. The big clear grains are quartz, and get finer to the left, before abruply coarsening again. The original 'up' was to the left.
